A leaked draft of the EU's controversial #ChatControl bill proposes scanning all private messages for illegal content, potentially compromising end-to-end encryption.

Key points include:

- AI-powered scanning for suspicious content would be allowed;

- mandatory scanning of all chats for known illegal material;

- messaging platforms like #Signal and #Threema threaten EU withdrawal if forced to comply.

Critics, including former MEP #PatrickBreyer, argue the bill will:

- overwhelm law enforcement with irrelevant data

- fail to protect victims;

- compromise citizens' privacy.

Please consider that:

- EU governments to decide by #September23;

- Interior ministers expected to endorse on #October10;

- Breyer urges EU citizens to pressure governments for rejection
