The president of the messaging app Signal criticizes the EU's revised "Chat Control" bill, which proposes to control encrypted chats under a "new brand." 🚫 The bill, first proposed in mid-2022, attempts to implement rules that would effectively force messaging apps to create a "back door" to end-to-end encrypted messages. Instead of using the previous term "client-side scanning", they renamed it and now call it "upload moderation". Some argue that "upload moderation" does not undermine encryption because it happens before your message or video is encrypted. This is wrong.
