Mistral said its in here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32011L0083
Tldr.
This is illegal in eu.
i havent thought of the EU as "pro-privacy" since chat control 1.0 . especially not nowadays with their age verification app, eID, and other BS they are introducing. the british online safety act will be here before 2028 im calling it.
Google and others regularly pay growing fines to EU over breaking laws. Still data of european citizens is valuable enough that they earn more with fines than they would following law
