As per the text shared by the Danish Presidency, the October 30 compromise proposes removing all provisions on detection obligations included in the bill (Articles 7 to 11). These are the obligations to monitor all users' chat activities.

Voluntary CSAM scanning would then be made permanent and included in Article 4 as a possible mitigation measure.

Yet, the Danish Presidency still leaves a door open for mandatory scanning by planning to introduce a "review clause."

...

This, Director of Government Affairs and Advocacy at the Internet Society, Callum Voge, told TechRadar, allows for the file to be revisited in the future if new detection technologies are developed as alternatives to client-side scanning.

...

According to Breyer, though, this may instead be a way to "introduce mandatory Chat Control through the backdoor," rather than a real fix.

...

What's certain, both Breyer and Voge also believe voluntary scanning may carry some security and privacy risks.

Breyer said to TechRadar: "Even where voluntarily implemented by communications service providers such as currently Meta, Microsoft, or Google, chat control is still totally untargeted and results in indiscriminate mass surveillance of all private messages on these services."
