From chat control to total control

The EU is not just interested in your messages anymore; it wants to access all encrypted data by 2030. Do you understand what this means for your privacy? This important post explains what to expect and how to protect yourself.

It all began with Chat Control: a plan to check all your private messages for illegal content. After being paused in 2024, many thought it was over. But now it’s back, and the EU has taken it further: they want to eliminate encryption completely by 2030.

If the EU succeeds, it will open the door to:

✓ Mandatory vulnerabilities in VPNs and messaging apps.
✓ Backdoors in your phone, computer, and cloud storage.
✓ Huge risks to your digital privacy and security.

It’s not just a threat to activists or criminals, it affects everyone.

blog the eus wants to decrypt any encrypted data by 2030 1

In June 2025, the European Commission unveiled its new security strategy: ProtectEU. The goal is clear:

➔ Give EU authorities the power to decrypt encrypted communications by 2030.
➔ Messaging, storage, VPNs nothing would be off limits.

This isn’t some “future idea”

The EU has already published official documents and roadmaps with concrete deadlines for forced decryption. And it’s not just for terrorism or crime, they want access to any encrypted data they consider relevant Who decides what’s “relevant”? Security agencies and governments, with little real oversight.

These plans risk your privacy and can lead to abuse. Governments and intelligence agencies are not perfect or always ethical. Mass surveillance has shown to cause errors and misuse.
