EDIT: Am dumb, I assumed the post was related to the ChatControl passing. It's not. Apparently there are other EU laws that are actually consumer friendly, which he is upset about.

And this is how it ended up. Meta has ChatControl already voluntiarily implemented for the last year or so.

Currently a regulation is in place allowing providers to scan communications voluntarily (so-called “Chat Control 1.0”). So far only some unencrypted US communications services such as GMail, Facebook/Instagram Messenger, Skype, Snapchat, iCloud email and X-Box apply chat control voluntarily (more details here). source
