The EU's Chat Control fight just reignited, and critics warn the worst case is back on the table: mass scanning of private messages, detection orders without a judicial warrant, and the end of anonymous communication through forced age verification.
Former MEP Patrick Breyer is warning of what he calls a "double attack" on encrypted messaging: EU government envoys met Friday to try to revive lapsed rules allowing "voluntary" scanning of private chats, and Monday June 29 brings the final trilogue on the permanent Child Sexual Abuse Regulation (Chat Control 2.0).
Parliament rejected extending the old scanning rules in March and they expired in April. Breyer claims EP President Roberta Metsola is maneuvering to force another vote, which Politico has also reported. Backers, including the Commission, call it child protection.
Civil society has relaunched fightchatcontrol.eu to push MEPs before Monday.

OKPAY has been hacked.
In the evening, a hacker named Fang Yang broke into OKPAY. He asked us @piya to buy a 7-digit short number and directly transfer 450,000 OKPAY to us. OKPAY refused to withdraw the funds, and the transaction was canceled. OKPAY has already dealt with this incident.

📱 WhatsApp Rolls Out Username Reservations
WhatsApp has officially started rolling out its usernames and username reservation feature. Users can now reserve unique handles, allowing them to use the app without sharing their phone numbers.
How to Reserve: Update WhatsApp → Go to Settings → Tap your profile → Look for Username or Reserve Username.
The rollout is phased worldwide, so the feature is already working for some users while others may not see the option yet.
⚠️ NOTE: If a username (e.g., @indigo) is already taken on Instagram or Facebook by someone else, you generally cannot claim the exact same one on WhatsApp — unless you prove ownership through Meta’s Accounts Center and link the accounts.
