00:00Is the EU about to start scanning your text messages?

00:05For years, claims have been circulating that the European Union wants to enable governments

00:10and private companies to read people's text messages as part of a planned law

00:14clamped down on online child sexual abuse.

00:17Recently, these claims have intensified, with users alleging the blog will scan

00:21all encrypted messages, even as they're being typed, making users fear for their privacy.

00:27It's often referred to as chat control.

00:30But the idea that Europeans have to brace themselves for the immediate end of private

00:34messaging is misleading.

00:36The possibility of scanning private messages is part of this planned new law on child sexual

00:41abuse, and it is indeed being considered.

00:43But the Commission is proposing specific and limited detection orders.

00:47While there are legitimate concerns that this could spell the end of digital privacy as we

00:51know it, proponents insist that detection orders do not apply by default to everyone and would

00:57be limited in time and scope.

00:59They would also have to be requested by a national authority, and then approved by a court or

01:03an independent authority.

01:04Secondly, the Commission's proposal is only the starting point.

01:08For the law to pass, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU both need to agree

01:12on exactly the same text, which has not happened yet.

01:15In fact, the Parliament has already voted for changes that go against broad scanning, especially

01:20for encrypted apps, and the Council is itself split.

01:24A majority of countries, like France, Spain and Italy, are in favour of strong scanning

01:28rules, while Austria, the Netherlands and Poland have said they will not accept them.

01:32Others, including Germany and Belgium, remain undecided.

01:35Because of this division, several planned votes have been delayed.

01:39A new one is now scheduled on the 12th of September.

01:42So, there is a legitimate debate about whether this proposed law can tread the line between

01:47safeguarding children on one hand and ensuring online privacy on the other.

01:51But panic that the EU is about to immediately scan messages even before they're being sent

01:57is still premature.
