The European Union's 'Chat Control' proposal is gaining traction, with 19 member states now supporting a plan to scan all private messages on encrypted apps. From October, apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram must scan all messages, photos, and videos on users' devices before encryption.

France, Denmark, Belgium, Hungary, Sweden, Serbia, Italy, and Spain back the measure, while Germany has yet to decide. The proposal could pass by mid-October under the EU's qualified majority voting system if Germany joins.

The initiative aims to prevent child sexual abuse material (CSAM) but has sparked concerns over mass surveillance and the erosion of digital privacy. Although WE ENCRYPT VERY HARD! Messages can't be leaked here. Please do not use this for anything illegal.
