It's good that it seems to be hitting challenges as it felt like a lost cause. There was talk of "it will never pass in the EU parliament", but it felt the same as when everyone declared victory on the UK's recent anti-E2EE regulation and then it turned out nothing had changed between the draft and the final bill.


Some of the proposed exclusions seem arbitrary.

> Netherlands and Germany want to exempt audio telephony, while Sweden wants to exempt communications over mobile networks.


The UK has pushed back enforecement.

I suspect this is to give the EU and other countries with legislation coming to pass their legislation, then coordinate the timing of enforcement.


Enforcement may depend on client device hardware for AI inference, which is already available on Apple Arm devices, but only shipping on AMD Ryzen in 2023 and Intel Meteor Lake in 2024.
