So from what I can gather the EU made temporary legislation allowing it to monitor email and chats and it may be made permanent soon on April 15. Apparently the public can join in on the discussion. If you're an EU citizen that sounds like a debate to be a part of.

I had a look at the actual proposal and it seems like EC is not introducing a new measure but standardizing existing practice among commercial social media providers - some already do this screening and refer cases to law enforcement. So the proposal could actually bring some order to what is currently done entirely at discretion of private companies.
