Didn't the court already decide that there is no way they can do that?
I'm not sure which court you're talking about.
But this has been going on for years, they're trying again and again. After the last proposal was deadlocked in the Council they now narrowed the scope slightly by excluding text messages, which seems to work as France is wavering on it's contra-stance.

It's not illegal when you have to "consent" or basically be unable to use any chat service properly. At least that is what they seem to think. I am no legal expert in that matter but it's still shitty that they are effectively trying to force you to consent to it.
Its most likely still absolutely illegal and for that part Abuse of law. The GDPR would fuck them in the ass for this as well. They just keep making these things against a windmill. Let's be real, these authoritarian politicians need to be put to sleep and the pressure on the courts need to increase significantly to never allow such things.
