Odaily News The president of messaging app Signal has slammed a revised EU proposal that would monitor encrypted chats under a “new name.” The European Commission first proposed the Chat Control Law in mid-2022, attempting to push through rules that would effectively force messaging apps to create backdoors for end-to-end encrypted messages. Last November, an EU Parliament committee voted against mass screening of encrypted telecommunications, but a revised draft law is seeking an alternative to mass scanning — called “upload moderation” — to combat child sexual abuse content online. In a statement on June 17, Signal President Meredith Whittaker argued that the “upload moderation” label is just another tactic to “undermine encryption,” which would make it easier for hackers and hostile nations to exploit private chats.
