Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice.

Honestly that was a headline that I expected to see. It is a small victory but how long before it gets reintroduced? They will continue to push until everyone has moved on and it passes unnoticed. Or they might do what the US does and put it into a "must pass" infrastructure bill that gets voted on at 3am to avoid the press
