Europe’s new Chat Control plan would scan every private message for child abuse material, even those protected by end-to-end encryption. "It’s like putting a camera in every home" warns Prof Bart Preneel.

EU stap dichter bij plan om uw chats te scannen
In de strijd tegen kindermisbruik werkt Europa al jaren aan een omstreden plan waarbij elk privébericht door een scan gaat. Denemarken voert nu de forcing, en de positie van Duitsland zal bepalend zijn.
