EU Nations Push to Reinstate Temporary Message-Scanning System

EU governments are considering a policy shift on communications monitoring. They aim to revive a temporary regime that scans private messages. The regime was previously introduced as an emergency measure. Its stated purpose was to combat illegal online content. Several member states are coordinating the revival effort. Officials argue the step is needed for security reasons. Critics warn the move could backfire and raise privacy concerns. The proposal will be debated in EU institutions.
