>These two things should not have both been given the same branding.

the confusion is purposeful, because it is easier to convince people that 1.0 is okay, which makes 2.0 appear like a version bump of the same thing.

“Chat Control”, along with the version numbers, is a naming invented by the opponents, not by the proponents.

I think it's the contrary. People don't want Zuckerberg reading their private messages, and everyone in Eutope uses WhatsApp, which is advertised as E2E encrypted.

Therefore it makes Chat Control 2 a harder sell.

To be fair I think "<anything> Control" makes it pretty clesr it's nefarious. They missed the opportunity to call it "Chat Safety".
