What happened today?

Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. 

The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox.

What happens next?

The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in.

What now?

We raise our voices. Louder.

Flyer numérique intitulé « Fight Chat Control », avertissant d’une proposition de loi européenne affectant la vie privée numérique.

Il annonce que le groupe de travail « Law Enforcement Working Party » a approuvé un compromis danois révisé qui réintroduit le balayage obligatoire des messages privés sous le terme de « réduction des risques », y compris pour les contenus chiffrés de bout en bout. L’article 4 interdit également la communication anonyme en exigeant une vérification de l’âge pour tous les utilisateurs, ce qui menace la sécurité des lanceurs d’alerte, des journalistes, des militants et des personnes vulnérables. L’article 6 impose des restrictions aux mineurs, les empêchant d’installer des applications comme WhatsApp, Instagram et Roblox en raison des risques de manipulation — décrit comme une « assignation à résidence numérique ».

La législation est désormais transmise au Coreper pour approbation. Le flyer appelle à une résistance publique et à des protestations plus fort

Digital flyer titled “Fight Chat Control,” warning about a proposed EU law affecting digital privacy. 

It announces that the Law Enforcement Working Party has approved a revised Danish compromise that reintroduces mandatory scanning of private messages under the term “risk mitigation,” including end-to-end encrypted content. Article 4 also bans anonymous communication by requiring age verification for all users, threatening the safety of whistleblowers, journalists, activists, and vulnerable individuals. Article 6 imposes restrictions on minors, preventing them from installing apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Roblox due to grooming risks—described as “digital house arrest.” 

The legislation now moves to Coreper for approval. If passed, the Council and Commission will jointly enforce mass surveillance across all 450 million EU citizens. The flyer urges public resistance and louder protest against the erosion of privacy and freedom.
