This won't stop them and the respite from "ChatControl" is only temporary. This isn't over, they will try again and again. It'll come back under a different name, just like Google keeps coming up with tracking initiatives when they're shut down. They just perk it up, add some 'privacy safeguards' and a cool new branding, perhaps find some way to tie it in to the latest scandal in the news, and try again and hope the next one sticks.
It's not even a conspiracy, there's just a huge lobby profiting from this and they will keep pushing. It's business.
And this was far from a decisive victory. It came very close to being implemented, unlike previous attempts. This was already attempt 2 and that's in this particular push only https://european-pirateparty.eu/chatcontrol-the-sequel-nobod...
We have to stay vigilant. Don't forget this is the organisation that tried to push software patents through during a meeting of farming ministers.
The European court is on our side here but the commission is not.
Ps I don't really understand the downvotes. I don't think I'm saying anything untoward. And in EU privacy circles (which I follow strongly) the feeling is very much "we won this battle but not the war". I'm not complaining, just wondering.
Don't forget here in Europe freedom isn't as huge a selling point as it is in the US. And even that has made several attempts over the years including the infamous clipper chip.
