EU 'Chat Control' Shift Should Alarm Businesses Across Europe
⚠️ The EU Council's decision to frame communications scanning as voluntary is being presented as a retreat from plans to weaken end-to-end encryption, but privacy experts warn the danger persists. Campaigners including Patrick Breyer and European Digital Rights (EDRi) say this effectively privatizes Chat Control, enabling companies to deploy error-prone, warrantless client-side scanning. For enterprises and CISOs the main concern is data leakage: false positives could expose confidential documents, code, or strategic plans to outside authorities without corporate consent.
