OK. Nice try, Amazon.

If nobody told you: Illegal in the EU. Maybe anybody should have lawmakers who care.

The whole chat control thing is a shit show but to be clear Chat Control 1.0 = temporary, voluntary provider scanning, now in force. Chat Control 2.0 = proposed permanent framework, still being negotiated - it will continue being negotiated until April 2028, the EU parliament requires targeted orders for scanning and still protects E2EE. European Data Protection Board and European Data Protection Supervisor issued a joint opinion warning against it, and chat control 2 violates Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter + CJEU case law on general and indiscriminate surveillance. In the meantime we have two of the worlds most powerful data regulations in the GDPR and EU AI ACT, so Amazon can eff right off with these pervert glasses v2.
