From XNet (https://xnet-x.net/es/pegasus-para-todos-chatcontrol/)
translation:

«This proposal includes mandatory mass scanning of private
communications and aims to break secure encryption by forcing client-
side scanning into your messaging apps.»

XNet is a activists network (https://xnet-x.net/en/who-we-are/)

In the other hand, Spain's Interior Minister is in favor of banning
encryption outright.

Is a web to send petitions to European MPs
