Chat Control 1.0 was passed 5 years ago. For whatever reason big companies still don’t use it. Most likely they simply don’t see the point. They know breaking E2E would hurt their reputation, GDPR still applies and the cost of implementing all this is simply to high to justify it. I’m also guessing they don’t really want to be held legally responsible for what people send to each other in any way so prefer not to take part in policing it.
Extending Chat Control 1.0 doesn’t change any of this so I don’t think meta or Google will take advantage of it now.

blog.google/…/reaffirming-commitment-to-child-saf… They really want to protect the children. And want to continue their scanning. For the greater good of cause. But to think they won’t be taking advantage of this is, at least in my opinion, giving them too much credit. These companies would sell their grandmothers if they had one.
