#E2EE must be explicitly protected, and client-side scanning must be excluded entirely. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/after-years-controversy-eus-chat-control-nears-its-final-hurdle-what-know

The UK's age verification rollout has been chaotic. “What we are really doing is building surveillance infrastructure around accessing information online,” EFF’s Paige Collings told Tech Policy Press. https://www.techpolicy.press/age-verification-is-locking-trans-people-out-of-the-internet/
