UE pregătește schimbări radicale pentru WhatsApp. Mesajele și fotografiile ar putea citite de Chat Control 2.0 • Newsweek România

The EU is considering new regulations under 'Chat Control 2.0' that may allow scanning of messages in encrypted apps like WhatsApp. This initiative aims to balance child protection against online abuse with privacy rights. Current regulations permit voluntary checks for non-encrypted platforms, while encrypted services remain untouched. Experts warn that proposed client-side scanning could lead to privacy violations and false positives. Critics argue that any message scanning should require judicial oversight, suggesting alternatives like monitoring public web and dark web for illegal content. The future of 'Chat Control 2.0' remains uncertain as discussions continue.
