Germany Reverts to Undecided Position on EU Chat Control Proposal
By
doener
Slightly gummy. The crust never quite set.
Summary
Germany has reverted to an undecided position on the controversial Chat Control proposal, despite previously expressing concerns about its impact on end-to-end encryption. During a September 12th LEWP meeting, Germany showed willingness to negotiate and compromise rather than taking a definitive stance against the proposal. This development is seen as unfortunate by privacy advocates who consider Germany crucial to defeating Chat Control, and they are urging public action through the fightchatcontrol.eu campaign.
