EU Set to Quietly Pass "Chat Control" Legislation That Will Allow Every
Message-Encrypted or Not-To Be Scanned

by Robert Semonsen Nov. 26, 2025 2:00 pm

The Brussels globalist machine never sleeps. When Europeans rejected the
original "Chat Control" last month, the `liberal' establishment-on both
the right and the left-simply repackaged it as "Chat Control 2.0" and
started quietly making plans to slip it through the back door.

Today, EU officials are expected to meet and quietly rubber-stamp a
negotiating mandate that pretends to drop mandatory scanning while letting
Big Tech "voluntarily" spy on your WhatsApp and Signal messages.

According to MEP Martin Sonneborn (Die Partei) on X, the draft is set to
appear on the agenda of EU ambassadors on Wednesday and is expected to be
approved without discussion.

The Chat Control proposal was first introduced last summer under the
banner of protecting children from online abuse.

Its core mechanism required all messaging services-such as WhatsApp,
Telegram, Signal, and Messenger-to implement automated scanning of every
private message, photo, and video for suspected illegal material.

Resistance to the proposed legislation emerged immediately and forcefully.
Thousands of legal experts, technologists, and Members of the European
Parliament condemned the plan, arguing that it would shatter privacy
rights, overturn the presumption of innocence, and breach the fundamental
principle of proportionality protected by the EU Charter of Fundamental
Rights.

According to former MEP Patrick Breyer, this latest push to revive the law
is the same surveillance monster, just wearing a friendlier mask and
packed with poison pills that make it even worse than the original.

Belgian researcher Tijl De Bie called it "Chat Control on steroids via the
back door" and warned that passing it would be the ultimate betrayal of
every voter who still believes in privacy.

Tech expert Raf Vantongerloo summed up the EU playbook: keep bringing the
same law back, slightly tweaked, until the resistance gets tired and the
lobbyists win.

"They keep introducing it every year or so, slightly altered to appease
the MEPs that voted against. Meanwhile, the lobbying continues ... so
eventually they get their laws approved. Those practices should be
illegal."

France and Denmark obediently saluted, while Germany and Poland-at least
for now-are pushing back against this latest assault on personal freedom.

Hidden review clauses guarantee that today's "compromise" becomes
tomorrow's mandatory mass surveillance grid.

The grim reality is that the law isn't designed to protect children; it's
designed to preserve EU globalists' control over their increasingly
popular political adversaries.

The same anti-European, open-borders elite who destroyed the continent by
flooding Europe with unvetted, military-aged migrant men from alien
cultures now want the power to read every private message you send to your
family, friends, and colleagues.
