AI chatbot requests are also likely to become a target, according to informational security expert Evgeny Tsarev, CEO of RTM Group. The EU has presently delayed the "chat control" law over privacy concerns raised by some of its member states. Germany stalled the bill despite aggressive attempts by Denmark and France to pass it. There’s a strong chance it will eventually be adopted, Vakulin believes. "Just think about Edward Snowden, who exposed how the US government surveys other users. There's nothing new about it." Why would Europe spearhead the initiative abusing privacy of its citizens? https://sputnikglobe.com/20241007/fearful-of-the-public-western-leaders-turn-to-censorship-1120465265.html
