  • The EU Parliament is pushing for an agreement on the child sexual abuse (CSAM) scanning bill, according to a leaked memo

  • According to the Council Legal Service, the proposal still violates fundamental human rights in its current form

  • The Danish version of the so-called Chat Control could be adopted as early as October 14, 2025

The nations welcoming and supporting the Danish proposal include Italy, Spain, and Hungary. France also said that "it could essentially support the proposal."

Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Luxembourg, and Romania currently remain undecided or in need of a review with their local parliament.

Man, if only there were some kind of list of high profile sex offenders that some world government could access to catch them. If that existed, I'm sure the people clamoring to find sex offenders would use it immediately.

Not sure if you're for or against such list

Not sure if I missed the joke but I'm obviously referencing the Jeffrey Epstein list. Which exists. Which powerful world leaders could get much more easily than cracking open every single civilian phone.

That is, if they were really interested in catching sex offenders and not just demolishing civil liberties.

Some people are on the Epstein list, but you're on the denialist
