EU negotiators return to Chat Control 2.0 with 'search plans' proposal

Original: tomorrow, EU negotiators return to Chat Control 2.0 ❗ the latest proposal involves “search plans” allowing the scanning

EU negotiators resume talks on the Chat Control 2.0 regulation, with the latest proposal introducing 'search plans' that would allow scanning of entire segments of communications services without warrants tied to specific suspects. Critics argue the plan amounts to mass surveillance despite being labelled 'targeted', and privacy advocates are warning against its adoption ahead of the negotiations.

Why now: EU negotiators are resuming talks on the proposal imminently, and the new 'search plans' wording has reignited privacy concerns.
