Odaily Planet Daily News The president of the instant messaging app Signal has slammed a revised EU proposal that aims to monitor encrypted chats under a "new name." The European Commission first proposed the Chat Control Law in mid-2022, trying to push through some rules that would effectively force instant messaging apps to create backdoors for end-to-end encrypted messages. Last November, the EU Parliament Committee voted against large-scale screening of encrypted telecommunications, but a revised draft law is seeking an alternative to large-scale scanning-called "upload moderation" to combat child sexual abuse content online. In a statement on June 17, Signal President Meredith Whittaker believed that the "upload moderation" label was just another strategy to "undermine encryption," which would make it easier for hackers and hostile countries to exploit private chats.
