On Thursday October 26th, MEPs in the European Parliament held press conferences outlining the compromises reached within the EU Parliament negotiators on the controversial Chat Control proposal.
Thankfully it appears that progress is being made in the fight to preserve privacy. According to MEPs, Parliamentarians have agreed to remove the clauses that would give law enforcement the power to demand end-to-end encrypted platforms hand over users messages, emails, and files as part of criminal investigations.

Sure. Until the next bill where they try the same thing.
Well, eIDAS is already on its way. Not sure if I understand correctly, but seems like they’re trying to seize control over server<>client encryption.
