Vitalik: The defeat of the EU proposal on 'chat controls' is a major victory

Vitalik Buterin quoted EFF's tweet on the X platform and said that the failure of the EU's proposal on chat control was a major victory, and said that we are entering a very challenging area of ​​privacy protection, especially when similar "mind reading" becomes possible in the next century, there is no other solution except "always vigilant". It is reported that the EU's message scanning proposal did not pass. The proposal scanning proposal will create a "detection order" that allows messages, files and photos from hundreds of millions of users around the world to be compared with the government's child abuse image database. At some point in the debate, EU officials even suggested using artificial intelligence to scan text conversations and predict who will be involved in child abuse. This is one of the reasons why some opponents call the proposal "chat control."
