“In the adopted text, MEPs excluded end-to-end encryption from the scope of the detection orders to guarantee that all users’ communications are secure and confidential.”
The Civil Liberties Committee voted 51 to 2 against scanning everyone. Detection orders now need a judge, a time limit and “reasonable grounds of suspicion” against specific people. End-to-end encryption is out of scope. It is one committee’s draft, and it still has to survive the plenary and the negotiating table.
