> The last chance for an agreement under Danish leadership is in December; the government in Copenhagen apparently preferred a compromise without chat control to no agreement at all. The current regulation, which allows the large platform providers to voluntarily and actively search for potential depictions of abuse, expires next spring after extension. It is precisely this voluntariness that Denmark's Minister of Justice now wants to codify within the framework of the future CSA regulation, which also contains a multitude of other, less controversial projects.

Doesn't sound like it is over yet - only delayed.

What's happening to women in the UK? I genuinely haven't heard of anything going on there, so I'm just asking for clarification.

I'm confused. The context here is talking about new legal developments. Has the UK passed something that justifies or makes getting away with the things you mentioned easier?
