Thanks for your thread - see also Mass surveillance of AI in Europe - #11 by Tentos , and (obviously) https://fightchatcontrol.eu.

It is really frustrating, but all hope is not lost yet…

Mostly good news: Mandatory scanning has been excluded. The overview by https://fightchatcontrol.eu :

Thanks to public pressure, the Danish Presidency has been forced to revise its text, explicitly stating that any detection obligations are voluntary. While much better, the text continues to both (a) effectively outlaw anonymous communication through mandatory age verification; and (b) include planned voluntary mass scannings. The Council is expected to formally adopt its position on Chat Control the 18th or 19th of November. Trilogue with the European Parliament will commence soon after.
