Chat Control: EU lawmakers finally agree on the voluntary scanning of your private chats
You can't just "slightly weaken" true end-to-end encryption without breaking it entirely. If a system is built to scan your messages before they're encrypted (like some proposed laws want), that capability can always be abused, broadened, or hacked by others later.
Stick to messaging apps that offer real end-to-end encryption, where the code is fully open source and independently verifiable. And stay alert—bills and regulations like these are often attempts to sneak in backdoors that let governments (or anyone who compromises them) read your private conversations.
