In this episode of CEA Talk, host Szilárd Szelpál speaks with Eglė Markevičiūtė, Representative of Consumer Choice Center, about one of the EU’s most divisive proposals — the so-called Chat Control regulation.
The discussion explores why the plan to scan private messages was put on hold, what it means for the future of online privacy, and how policymakers can protect children without undermining encryption.
From Germany’s last-minute pivot to civil society’s digital pushback, the conversation dives deep into the politics, technology, and values behind Europe’s next big digital rights debate.
