I wish it wasn't like this, but every time I read about politicians saying something for children, it's got nothing to do with children and all about control and loss of privacy for everyone.

It's not "Brussels" pushing for this, it's braindead MEPs who were lobbied by various shady organizations

It's too easy to blame Brussels/the EU. Many national governments back these chat control proposals or have done so in the past. They're just using the EU as a scapegoat to hide their own intentions.
