Until next time, probably in a couple of weeks.

In the risk analysis, providers must check whether their services can be misused for the dissemination of abuse material or for contacting children. There are to be three categories for this: high, medium, and low risk. Providers in the highest category could be obliged to participate in the development of risk mitigation technologies.

We can anticipate Signal and co. will be part of the high risk category and assume the risk mitigation tech will be aimed towards breaking encryption. Especially since this new agency will be interfacing with Europol. I don't see this as a win or even a draw.

Can we implement Chat-Control-Control?

Monitor all EU Parliament politicians' devices and computers to find out each time some lobbyist calls them to enact chat control. Of course, most communications have nothing to do with chat control, so they'll have nothing to hide, yes? Let's see how much they would like that.

Like US politicians, they'll keep trying in cycles. Hoping to catch people unaware.
