The European Union plans to vote on a chat control bill on October 14th, and may conduct a comprehensive scan of private messages According to Solid Intel, the European Union plans to vote on the "Chat Control" bill on October 14th. The bill requires all online communication platforms to scan the content of users' private messages, photos, and videos, even if end-to-end encryption is used. The bill aims to combat content related to child sexual abuse, but it has raised widespread concerns about mass surveillance and privacy rights. Currently, 19 member states have supported the proposal, with France and other countries shifting their stance towards support. Germany has not yet made a clear statement. If the bill is passed by a majority, it will bring significant changes to the EU's digital communication privacy regulations. It is reported that the European Council needs to obtain a specific majority of votes to approve such measures, which involves two conditions: at least 55% of member states (equivalent to 15 out of 27 countries) must vote in favor, and these countries must represent more than 65% of the total population of the European Union.
