EU Chat Control Law Faces Critical Vote, Germany’s Decision Will Determine Fate

A crucial vote on the so-called ‘Chat Control’ regulation is approaching, with Germany potentially holding the key to its fate. The proposed law would require messaging platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp, and Signal to allow regulators access to encrypted messages before they are sent. While 15 EU member states support the bill, it needs more votes to reach a majority needed for approval. If Germany supports the measure, the impact on privacy in Europe could be significant.
