EU Lawmakers Support Temporary 'Chat Control' Rules, Large Platforms Can Continue Scanning Content

CoinFeed reported on July 9 that EU legislators have supported a set of temporary 'Chat Control' rules, allowing large internet platforms to continue scanning user communications for child abuse material, to maintain existing content review and reporting mechanisms. The report indicates that encrypted communication apps are temporarily excluded from this round of rules, and the relevant measures still require approval from member state governments before formal implementation.
