Denmark’s Justice Minister has confirmed the withdrawal of the nation’s controversial draft law that aimed to mandate the scanning of electronic communications, including those on end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) platforms. The proposal, known widely as “Chat Control,” was intended as a tool in the fight against child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) but sparked an intense backlash from privacy advocates and fellow EU member states. Danish Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard announced late last week that his office would no longer push for the mandatory scanning requirement, opting instead to support a model for voluntary CSAM detection. The decision follows days of silence and was solidified after the German government publicly announced it would not support the measure, effectively tanking the Danish effort within the European Council presidency
