ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Conflicting news headlines claimed that the EU’s Chat Control proposal was killed, while others reported it passed. Both statements are technically true due to a procedural quirk in European law.
In this briefing, Nat Schooler breaks down why 314 "No" votes fell short of stopping the bill, how Parliament turned around to pass binding protections for end-to-end encryption (E2EE), and what business leaders must do now to safeguard corporate data.
In this episode:
The Procedural Glitch: How Article 294 of the EU Treaty required a 361-vote supermajority, leaving 314 votes 47 short.
The Encryption Victory: Why Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Proton Mail remain cryptographically secure worldwide.
