EU Parliament greenlights Chat Control 1.0 – Breyer: "Our children lose out"
The EU Parliament has approved Chat Control 1.0, a regulation aimed at restricting minors' access to certain online services. Critics, including MEP Patrick Breyer, argue that this will harm children's online safety and freedom. The regulation now moves to the EU Council for further approval. Engineers should be aware of the potential impact on online services and prepare for compliance. The exact details of the regulation are still unclear.
