I hoped that was a part of this EU debate. It's sad if not.

This seems like one of those situations that's going to turn regular people into outlaws. How could anyone vote in favor of something so foolish?

Also how would that even work, would your device get compromised by connecting to a wireless network inside French borders?

And as usual, the french politicians will change their tune in a few months and go on TV and say that the EU made them do it even though they did not want to.

France government is a minority government. The proposal their finance/interior minister do to the council of Europe is a minority opinion in France.

Does that make a difference? The proposal has France's vote.

Ugh, no wonder they don't mind missing this one. Chat control is far more pervasive than what amounts to a digital wiretap.
