Don't worry people. If you are not a European let me tell you how it goes.
The 'Unofficial' boss of European Union is Germany. If Germany will vote against it, more countries will back off and it won't pass. If Germany wants ChatControl, it's over. It will pass and all other undecided countries will support it.

I disagree with this sentence. The unofficial bosses are both Germany and France. Which is also the reason why the people in the richer EU countries will suffer economically when the upcoming bailout for France /will/ happen.
Sadly, the new German government is comprised of two parties that have consistently voted for more surveillance. I'm afraid this time it's up to the courts to stop this.
Probably better for you guys that UK is out now, our government would have been salivating at the thought of spying on every citizen without repercussions

Thankfully, Germany (so far) is against it.
