On June 18, the president of instant messaging app Signal slammed a revised European Union proposal to monitor encrypted chats under a "new name". The European Union Commission first proposed the Chat Control Act in mid-2022 in an attempt to push through rules that would effectively force instant messaging apps to create backdoors for end-to-end encrypted messages.
In November, a European Union parliamentary 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 online.
In a statement on June 17, Signal president Meredith Whittaker argued that the "upload moderation" tag was just another tactic to "break encryption," which would make it easier for hackers and hostile nations to exploit private chats.
