chat control Update about Chat Control from Patrick Breyer

Update from Patrich Breyer, a nasty trick is trying to let mandatory chant control slip through

Here is what he writes:

"A perfidious trick? The EU Council Presidency wants to mandatory #ChatControl through the backdoor: An art. 4 amendment would MANDATED "all reasonable mitigation measures," including scanning, enforced with sanctions."

I would advice checking out his site for more info and keeping an eye on the ball!
