[Telegram Founder: Germany's Temporary Opposition Postpones EU 'Chat Control' Bill to December]
Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated that the EU 'Chat Control' bill was nearly passed, but Germany's temporary opposition has postponed it, with the next vote expected in December. Reportedly, France is pushing for applications to conduct client-side scanning of all private chats, with exemptions proposed for communications involving law enforcement and officials. Durov mentioned that the bill requires support from member states representing 65% of the EU population to pass. Currently, Germany, Poland, Austria, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Finland, Luxembourg, and Belgium oppose the 'Chat Control' bill, preventing it from reaching the threshold. French politicians, including Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuñez, support the bill. Durov stated he will continue to warn users in various countries, as the vote may be held again in December.
