Fight Chat Control (https://fightchatcontrol.eu) is a citizen-led initiative created to raise awareness about the European Union's proposed "Chat Control" regulation. We are not affiliated with any political party. Also on Mastodon: @chatcontrol.
“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.”

Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level."

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Peter Hummelgaard, Danish Minister of Justice, remains defiant:

"I indisputably believe that surveillance creates an increased sense of security ... and given that the prerequisite for freedom is security, yes, I believe that more surveillance equates to more freedom"

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal.

In a world where autocrats attack #FreeSpeech, Europe must protect our right to privacy.

That is why we need to stop #ChatControl, which looks more like mass surveillance than security.

📅 Join us on Tuesday 30 Sept, 18h30 CEST to discuss how to stop Chat Control.

Germany's position has been reverted to UNDECIDED.

Despite expressing concerns about breaking end-to-end encryption, Germany refrained from taking a definitive stance on the Chat Control proposal during the September 12th LEWP meeting. A willingness to negotiate and compromise remains.
September 16, 2025 at 4:51 PM
Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard:

"We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services."

Germany is AGAINST Chat Control as currently proposed!

This is a critical step, securing the blocking minority required to stop this illegal mass surveillance for now! The LEWP meeting remains scheduled tomorrow: do not stop fighting!

This leaves five undecided countries.
