(2022)

More context: this was written back before the first iteration of chat control got turned down by European Parliament, and even links to that revision. A few details has changed since then -- still it's basically the same thing, although now you need to opt in, otherwise you won't be able to send images and videos. Allegedly, it could be passed by European Council tomorrow.

It's a little ironic how the same legislative body that came up with GDPR is now implementing coerced consent. I believe they would also bar you from sending links, so no easy bypass with an image server.

How is this ironic? It's in exactly the same spirit of coercing people to "consent"

It’s basically saying “consent to me reading all your mail or you will not longer get mail that you need to live a normal life”. I can’t imagine why anyone wants to let the EU and some police clowns comb through their sexy time videos, kids playing on the playground, and personal journals. I would think a continent that has been through Stasi, the SS, and KGB would welcome this with open arms instead of grabbing the pitch forks and torches.
