  • The EU Parliament is pushing for an agreement on the child sexual abuse (CSAM) scanning bill, according to a leaked memo

  • According to the Council Legal Service, the proposal still violates fundamental human rights in its current form

  • The Danish version of the so-called Chat Control could be adopted as early as October 14, 2025

The nations welcoming and supporting the Danish proposal include Italy, Spain, and Hungary. France also said that “it could essentially support the proposal.”

Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Luxembourg, and Romania currently remain undecided or in need of a review with their local parliament.

    Rights don’t exist. They are social conventions based in law. If you don’t have a law or the law isn’t enforced then you don’t have a right.

    Contrary to the name, there are no basic, inalienable human rights.

    If your right is not supported by law, it does not exist.

      That’s your opinion which was a minority one in most of the world for most of history. Including such counterintuitive parts of it as China.

      Contrary to the name, there are no basic, inalienable human rights.

      Says who and based on what?

      If your right is not supported by law, it does not exist.

      And from which hairy arse would a law gain justification to determine someone’s rights?

      You are likely from one of the countries with English-derived legal system, where the precedent mechanism literally means that there are non-codified rights outside of the law, which the interpretation of the law has to approximate.
