#Ageverification must not become mandatory. In general, the effect and implementation of age verification are still unclear, and the risks outweigh the benefits. There is no law worldwide that enforces mandatory AV for messengers. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/after-years-controversy-eus-chat-control-nears-its-final-hurdle-what-know

After Years of Controversy, the EU’s Chat Control Nears Its Final Hurdle: What to Know

After a years-long battle, the European Commission’s “Chat Control” plan, which would mandate mass scanning and other encryption-breaking measures, at last codifies agreement on a position within the Council of the EU, representing EU States.

@eff "But here comes the rub: first, the Council’s position allows for “voluntary” detection, where tech platforms can scan personal messages that aren’t end-to-end encrypted. "

That's what they're already doing, and also feeding it to AI. So no news here.

@eff you underestimate the speed of creating laws that benefit others and not the society
