Denmark Pushing Chat Control 2.0 with Mandatory Message Scanning

Despite claiming withdrawal, the Danish EU Presidency is attempting to pass legislation requiring AI-powered scanning of private communications.

Article 4 mandates "preventative" scanning, creating a backdoor for blanket surveillance.

Critics warn this represents an existential threat to digital privacy in Europe, with the proposal being pushed through with minimal transparency alongside related initiatives like Protect EU and Digital Omnibus IV that would weaken GDPR protections.
