EU Chat Control is not just a policy fight. It is a test of whether private messages stay private, or whether scanning becomes normalised in the name of safety.
Protecting children matters. So does encryption, free speech, and the right to communicate without every message being treated as suspicious.
My new blog post looks at the fallout, the privacy win, and why the wider fight is not over.
What kind of internet do you want: one built on trust, or one built on inspection?
