Find XO: EU Revives Private Message Scanning, Challenging the Premise of End-to-End Encryption (euronews.com)

- On July 7, the European Parliament passed an emergency procedure vote 331 to 304, setting a vote on July 9 to revive the temporary private message scanning regulation that had expired after being rejected in March. - A separate permanent regulation is pushing for mandatory device-level scanning. - If inspection can occur on devices before encryption, the promise of end-to-end encryption, that we cannot see the content, is only half-kept. - For messaging products, it is more honest to clearly disclose under what conditions that promise is broken.
