Today, the European Commission presented publicly for the first time an EU draft law on mandatory chat control. With the stated intention of fighting against “child pornography”, the Commission plans to oblige all providers of e-mail, chat and messaging services to search for suspicious messages in a fully automated way and disclose them to the police. This requires them to monitor and scan the communications of all citizens. End-to-end encryption would have to be undermined by “client-side” scanning on all mobile phones.
MEP and civil rights activist Dr Patrick Breyer (Pirate Party), who filed a lawsuit on Monday against the chat control already voluntarily practiced by Facebook/Meta, comments:
“Apart from ineffective web blocking, the proposed chat control threatens to destroy digital privacy of correspondence and secure encryption. Scanning personal cloud storage would result in the mass surveillance of private photos. Mandatory age verification would end anonymous communication. Appstore censorship would be the end of secure messenger apps and patronise young people. The proposal does not include the overdue obligation on law enforcement agencies to report and remove known abusive material on the net, nor does it provide for Europe-wide standards for effective prevention measures, victim support and counselling and effective criminal investigations. Von der Leyen continues to chart the territory of censorship, mass surveillance, anonymity bans and paternalism, while leaving the activities of child porn rings completely untouched. The proposed measures deprive the entire population of trust, self-determination and security on the net. This plan is nothing other than terrorism against our digital fundamental rights, which I will not relent to fight.This Big Brother attack on our mobile phones, private messages and photos with the help of error-prone algorithms is a giant step towards a Chinese-style surveillance state. Chat control is like the post office opening and scanning all letters – ineffective and illegal. Even the most intimate nude photos and sex chats can suddenly end up with company personnel or the police. Those who destroy the digital secrecy of letters destroy trust. We all depend on the security and confidentiality of private communication: People in need, victims of abuse, children, the economy and also state authorities.”
Breyer summarises the content and effects of the bill in the following overview:
| EU chat control proposal | Consequences |
| Envisaged are chat control, network blocking, mandatory age verification for communication and storage apps, age verification by app stores and exclusion of minors from installing many apps | |
| The communication services affected include telephony, e-mail, messenger, chats (also as part of games, on part of games, on dating portals, etc.), videoconferencing | Texts, images, videos and speech could be scanned |
| End-to-end encrypted messenger services are not excluded from the scope | Providers will of end-to-end encrypted communications services have to scan messages on every smartphone (client-side scanning) and, in case of a hit, report the message to the police |
| Hosting services affected include web hosting, social media, video streaming services, file hosting and cloud services | Even personal storage that is not being shared, such as Apple’s iCloud, will be subject to chat control |
| Services that are likely to be used for illegal material or for child grooming are obliged to search the content of personal communication and stored data (chat control) without suspicion and across the board | Since presumably every service is also used for illegal purposes, all services will be obliged to deploy chat control |
| The authority in the provider’s country of establishment is obliged to order the deployment of chat control | There is no discretion in when and in what extent chat control is ordered |
| Chat control involves automated searches for known CSEM images and videos, suspicious messages/files will be reported to the police | According to the Swiss Federal Police, 87% of the reports they receive (usually based on the method of hashing) are criminally irrelevant |
| Chat control also involves automated searches for unknown CSEM pictures and videos, suspicious messages/files will be reported to the police | Machine searching for unknown abuse representations is an experimental procedure using machine learning (“artificial intelligence”). The algorithms are not accessible to the public and the scientific community, nor does the draft contain any disclosure requirement. The error rate is unknown and is not limited by the draft regulation. Presumably, these technologies result in massive amounts of false reports. The draft legislation allows providers to pass on automated hit reports to the police without humans checking them. |
| Chat control involves machine searches for possible child grooming, suspicious messages will be reported to the police | Machine searching for potential child grooming is an experimental procedure using machine learning (“artificial intelligence”). The algorithms are not available to the public and the scientific community, nor does the draft contain a disclosure requirement. The error rate is unknown and is not limited by the draft regulation, presumably these technologies result in massive amounts of false reports. |
| Communication services that can be misused for child grooming (thus all) must verify the age of their users | In practice, age verification involves full user identification, meaning that anonymous communication via email, messenger, etc. will effectively be banned. Whistleblowers, human rights defenders and marginalised groups rely on the protection of anonymity. |
| App stores must verify the age of their users and block children/young people from installing apps that can be misused for solicitation purposes | All communication services such as messenger apps, dating apps or games can be misused for child grooming and would be blocked for children/young people to use. |
| App stores must delete apps that refuse chat control | If, for instance, Signal or Whatsapp refuse to undermine end-to-end encryption and implement chat controls, they would no longer be available for installation via app stores |
| Internet access providers can be obliged to block access to prohibited and non-removable images and videos hosted outside the EU by means of network blocking (URL blocking) | Network blocking is technically ineffective and easy to circumvent, and it results in the construction of a technical censorship infrastructure |
Voices against the proposed law are coming from across the board: EDRi has criticised the proposal would “allow the widespread scanning of people’s private communications” and “inevitably require the use of notoriously inaccurate AI-based scanning tools of our most intimate conversations”. The German Child Protection Association has also described the EU Commission’s planned warrantless scanning of private communication via messenger or email as disproportionate and not effective. Instead, they stress the majority of child pornography material is shared via platforms and forums. What was needed is “above all the expansion of human and technical resources at the law enforcement agencies, more visible police presence on the net, more state reporting offices and the decriminalisation of the dissemination of self-generated material among young people.”
In Berlin people today protested against the proposal.

Next week on Wednesday (May 11), the EU Commission will present an EU draft law on mandatory chat control to the public for the first time. Similar to Apple’s highly controversial “SpyPhone” plans, the Commission wants to oblige all providers of email, chat and messaging services to search for suspicious messages in a fully automated way and forward them to the police in the fight against “child pornography”. This will require them to monitor and scan the communications of citizens en masse – even if they are still securely encrypted end-to-end so far.
MEP and civil rights activist Dr. Patrick Breyer (Pirate Party) comments:
“This spying attack on our private messages and photos by error-prone algorithms is a giant step towards a Chinese-style surveillance state. Will the next step be for the post office to open and scan all letters? Organized child porn rings don’t use email or messenger services, but darknet forums. With its plans to break secure encryption, the EU Commission is putting the overall security of our private communications and public networks, trade secrets and state secrets at risk to please short-term surveillance desires. Opening the door to foreign intelligence services and hackers is completely irresponsible. To stop chat control, the net community must go to the barricades as!”
In an expert opinion, a former ECJ judge pointed out last year that the warrantless interception of private communications violates the case law of the European Court of Justice. According to a poll 72% of citizens oppose the indiscriminate scanning of their private communications. The German government coalition agreement states on the topic on chat control: “We reject measures to scan private communications.”

Yesterday, Member of the European Parliament and digital freedom fighter Patrick Breyer (Pirate Party) filed an action for an injunction against the so-called chat control against Facebook’s parent company Meta Platforms Ireland Limited at Kiel District Court. As a user of “Facebook Messenger”, Breyer is suing against the suspicionless automated search of private chat histories and photos. While the automated searches of personal messages and chats is so far only practised by major US providers, the EU Commission is to propose tomorrow to make this mandatory for all providers of e-mail, messenger and chat services.
Plaintiff Patrick Breyer comments:
“This Big Brother attack by unleashing error-prone algorithms on our cell phones, private messages and photos is a giant step toward a Chinese-style surveillance state. Chat control is like the post office opening and scanning all letters – ineffective and illegal. I will not stand by idly and watch the dismantelling of the fundamental right to digital privacy of correspondence. I will now involve the judiciary.With chat control in place even the most intimate nude photos and sex chats can suddenly end up with company personnel or the police. Destroying the digital secrecy of correspondence is destroying trust. We all depend on the security and confidentiality of private communication: People in need, victims of abuse, children, the economy and also government authorities.
Organized child porn rings don’t use e-mail or messenger services, but rather secret self-operated forums. With its plans for chat control, the EU Commission is putting the general security of our private communications and public networks, business secrets and state secrets at risk out of short-term surveillance desires. What we need is removals instead of snooping!”
At Breyer’s request, Europol had previously admitted not to report known CSEM for deletion.
Breyer’s lawyer Prof. Dr. Ralph Wagner explains:
“While EU politicians on the one hand claim to protect us from assaults by Facebook, Google and Co., they are at the same time commissioning these same companies to screen and monitor all our communications. The fact that the European Court of Justice (and the courts of many EU member states) has already prohibited such total surveillance on several occasions is simply brushed aside. Then, unfortunately, the only option is to go back to the courts.Whoever is serious about data protection, with the least bureaucratic burden possible, and wants to protect civil liberties, must not screen all of our communications and then also commission Facebook to do the same.”
Tomorrow, the EU Commission will publicly present its draft EU law on mandatory chat control. The law would require all providers of email, messenger and chat services to conduct mass chat checks and would undermine secure end-to-end encryption.
EDRi has criticised chat control as the “inevitable result of such technologies” and stresses these “would be unthinkable for those that are wrongly accused. The German Child Protection Association has also denounced the EU Commission’s plan to scan private communications via messenger or email without any reason as disproportionate and ineffective. Instead, it says, that the majority of child pornography material is shared via platforms and forums. What is needed “above all is the expansion of human and technical resources at law enforcement agencies, more visible police presence on the net, more state reporting offices, and the decriminalisation of the dissemination of self-generated material among young people.”

Yesterday, a large majority of Members of the European Parliament opposed the Parliament’s plans to register their presence by processing their fingerprints. By 420:202:15 votes they called on the Bureau to “develop an alternative solution that does not involve the processing of biometric data”. For example, an electronic attendance register could rely on Members badges or their mobile phones, and it could come with random and periodic checks by human monitoring.
In the past, there has been some harsh criticism of plans by the European Parliament‘s Bureau to fingerprint all Members of Parliament in order to register their presence. Following up on complaints, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) is called into doubt the legality of the scheme. In a set of recommendations released in March 2021 the EDPS told the Parliament leadership it needs to justify why it considers the risk of impersonations for a badge-based system is „more than a fringe occurrence“ and whether such fraud has ever occurred while a badge-based system was being tested. Parliament also needs to look into alternative solutions that rely on Members‘ mobile phones.
„By plotting to fingerprint all Members, the Parliament‘s leadership wanted to place all of us under a general suspicion of fraudulently asking other people to register and claim attendance allowances – without citing a single occurrence of such fraud during the test of a badge-based system“, states Breyer. „I am pleased that the Members of the European Parliament are speaking out so strongly against this unnecessary and likely unlawful biometric fingerprinting. We shall not allow large-scale processing of biometrics to become a new normality.“
Background: The Article 29 data protection group stated that, as a general rule, the use of biometrics cannot be regarded as a legitimate interest for securing access to buildings. According to the European Data Protection Supervisor Wojciech Wiewiórowsk „the EDPS did not consider proportionate the use of biometric systems for monitoring staff members’ working time and leave. We considered the processing of biometric data was not necessary in relation to the purpose, because such purpose could be achieved with less intrusive means, such as by signing in, using attendance sheets, or using clocking in systems via magnetic badges.“
Breyer also refers to an EDPS publication on “14 misunderstandings with regard to biometric identification and authentication”.

Today, Members of the European Parliament voted on revising Europol’s mandate and upgrading the EU police agency. The adoption of the report will give the agency expanded powers without independent oversight. Despite serious concerns from civil society and a rebuke from the European Data Protection Supervisor last year, Europol is to be allowed to collect and analyse massive amounts of data on unsuspected individuals, such as cell phone movement data and air travel data.
As a substitute member of Europol’s supervisory body JPSG, MEP Patrick Breyer (Pirate Party) states:
“I am voting today against the reform which aims to legalize Europol’s illegal activities instead of stopping them: According to the findings of the European Data Protection Supervisor, Europol has been illegally storing masses of data transmitted by national intervention authorities on millions of unsuspected individuals for years. We are talking about large amounts of data (mobile phone location data, passenger lists) of people who are in no way connected to criminal activities. In consequence innocent citizens run the risk of being wrongfully suspected of a crime just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.The planned cooperation of Europol with private companies (such as Google and Microsoft), which unjustly report millions of people as part of pan-european message screening and chat control, is also unacceptable. The fact that Europol even wants to train error-prone algorithms with real citizens’ data in the future, threatens us with false positives and discrimination.
Police cooperation in Europe is of crucial importance. For this to happen, however, Europol must be effectively monitored and prevented from violating the law. The supervisory mechanisms, which have been superficial so far, have not been given the necessary teeth to detect and stop illegal practices by the authority. As a member of the supervisory body, I still have no right to look into Europol’s activity.”
