Germany finally decided, so - for now - chat control in the EU is off
the table. (Pretty sure they're going to try again.)

In a major breakthrough for the digital rights movement, the German
government has refused to back the EU's controversial Chat Control
regulation yesterday after facing massive public pressure. The
government did not take a position on the proposal. This blocks the
required majority in the EU Council, derailing the plan to pass the surveillance law next week. Jens Spahn, Chairman of the conservative
CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, said in a public
statement: "We, the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, are
opposed to the unwarranted monitoring of chats. That would be like
opening all letters as a precautionary measure to see if there is
anything illegal in them. That is not acceptable, and we will not allow
it."

Take a good look at the MEPs of your own country, the ones that didn't
openly share their opinion. Also, take a good look at the countries that supported chat control, like France (libert|-, not so much). And remember
that in this proposition the MEPs and the police theirselves were exempt
from scanning even though it was claimed that it would all be OK since
AI was to be used.
