The chat control law is being promoted in the EU.

The member states of the European Union (EU) have just reached an agreement at the EU Council to promote the controversial bill named “Chat Control” aimed at enhancing control over child sexual abuse content (CSAM) on messaging platforms and online services. This agreement paves the way for final negotiations with the European Parliament, as the current legal framework is set to expire in April 2026.

The new draft still requires platforms to assess the risk of abuse and cooperate with the EU Center for Child Protection, but it has removed the mandatory scanning regulation for all private messages. However, the mechanism for “voluntary detection of CSAM” has been indefinitely expanded, raising concerns among privacy advocacy organizations about the risk of widespread surveillance.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officials argue that this compromise is not strong enough, while activists warn that Europe risks gradually sliding into digital control.
