Chat control 1.0

"A temporary derogation from the ePrivacy Directive that allowed (but did not require) providers to scan private messages of unsuspected users for potential child sexual abuse material."

Does that imply it's currently not allowed?

EDIT: apparently not enforced at least:

"Chat Control 1.0 expires

The legal ground for voluntary, indiscriminate scanning ends. Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Snap state they will continue scanning private messages regardless. "

		They just voted to reinstate it, and it passed by a narrow majority. https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/195338 They did id sneakily. https://www.politico.eu/article/president-vs-parliament-robe... As I understand it, there will still be another related vote on Thursday, so call your representatives!

This should not be put in the same category as Chat Control 2.0. Doing so severely dilutes the brand Chat Control.
