IMPORTANT UPDATE!

“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.”

Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.

Thank you all for raising your voices!

@chatcontrol Thank god , we can finally be at rest knowing our privacy won't be compromised. At least for now.

@chatcontrol till next time...

@chatcontrol Phew, glad that they backed down. Sure, it may pop up again and big corpos can scan stuff. But I'm really glad that mandatory scanning won't be enforced.

I say that, for now, let's celebrate!

@chatcontrol I fear that is not enough.
They always take a step back before leaping forward again.
if scanning isn't mandatory it's still allowed and that alone is a terrible thing. Future proposal could help enforce it in practice.
The only true victory would be a total drop of the proposal.
