Chat control mandates a piece of software on your device that spies on what you do and sends that to the government and their partners.

Chat control does not protect children.

Chat control is a way for governments to stay in front of any dissent and organizing efforts from it's citizens. This makes it safer and easier to take away rights and ultimately gives a path away from democracy.
