I never thought we'd stoop so low in the EU, debating such outrageous policies, eapecially so because they are applied selectively and specifically to the mass population and not the ones voting for their introduction. I'm glad there are still proponents of basic human rights at the state level, although even Estonia accepts chat control if it's not obligatory for service providers. Which is still massively problematic.

If there is monitoring you can't call it "private", you know?
If anything, the article shows how divided Estonian politicians are on the subject, so this 'official' stance can easily change with the next election, a government reshuffle, or ~~a bribe~~ lobbying.
so this ‘official’ stance will be changed with the next election
