I am sure they will only use it against Pedos and Terrorists! ;)

Europol already said it would use it to fight „illegal migration“ and „human traffickers“ and drug dealers

A french politian demanded to use it against „Drag Queens“ and museums

An italian politian proposed to use chat control against „human traficking“ (in this case a dogwhistle for people, that rescue migrants), organ traffickers, illegal trading of weapons and drug dealers.

Some important german polititians want to expand it against antisemitism, far right extremism and child pornography

A lobbyist and another german politian want to also use it against illegally downloaded movies and music.
