2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.

Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

We're talking about client side scanning of messages here. This is what Chat Control is about. What 'client side scanning' are you talking about?
So I will ask again: why aren't they? The are eager, it's legal, it's been legal for 5 years. Why aren't they doing it?
Why are you saying it will not come with current law? Chat Control 1.0 is about client side scanning of messages. Chat Control 2.0 doesn't change that, it still protects E2E. Chat Control 2.0 is more about age verification, not about scanning messages. I don't think we're even talking about same thing.
I think so too. English isn't my first language, though I was pretty confident in my explanation, but it seems somewhere somewhat was lost in translation I guess.
Long story short, they are scanning your cloud storage and unencrypted messages. Finished.
Yes, that's obvious. They don't hide it. It has also nothing to do with Chat Control.
