Protest in Warsaw Against EU Chat Control Legislation

Original: Protest Against European Parliament Chat Control 1.0 Legislation in Warsaw

Demonstrators gathered in Warsaw on 26 September 2026 to protest against the European Parliament's Chat Control 1.0 legislation, which would require messaging platforms to scan private communications, including encrypted ones, for illegal content. Critics argue the measure undermines privacy and encryption, while supporters say it is needed to combat child abuse material online. Opposition to the proposal has been building across several EU member states.

Why now: The EU's contentious plan to scan private messages has sparked renewed public opposition and debate over encryption and privacy.
