Edit: I figured out what was confusing me, the MEP just recently enshrined E2EE, which I remembered as a big win on the same level of no age verification.

oh that sounds interesting! could you throw a link?

I think they didn't enshrine the right to end to end encryption, it's just that they did not renew the temporary law allowing voluntary scanning for tech companies

I am not capable of understanding it myself, I heard the German version is less ambiguous, the English version had too many clauses that were up for interpretation. The general consensus in the threads that I saw on Lemmy when this happened was that the good faith interpretation is the correct one, but I am unsure if that is just cope.
