Germany Rejects EU "Chat Control" Proposal, Citing Privacy Concerns
Germany has announced it will not support the EU's Child Sexual Abuse Regulation, commonly known as "Chat Control," which would require mandatory scanning of private messages for illegal content. Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig emphasized that random monitoring must remain taboo in a constitutional state, calling the move a major victory for digital privacy. The decision follows weeks of mixed signals and pressure from various ministries. Privacy advocates, including former Pirate Party MEP Patrick Breyer, hailed the rejection, while officials warned the fight against child exploitation will continue. The EU Council is set to meet with the Justice Minister to determine the proposal's future. Read more →

Meta Expands Llama AI Access to European and Asian Governments

Meta Expands Llama AI Access to European and Asian Governments
Meta announced that its Llama suite of artificial‑intelligence models is now available to a broader set of governments, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea, as well as organizations linked to the European Union and NATO. The rollout follows earlier deployments for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Meta says governments can fine‑tune the models with their own sensitive data, host them in secure environments, and run them on‑device for specific national‑security use cases. The company highlights the open‑source nature of Llama as a key factor that lets officials download and deploy the technology without routing data through third‑party providers. Read more →
