Did you guys hear that the EU is now working on passing a version of "client side scanning"? It would completely get rid of end-to-end encryption by giving AI access to your entire device. You can't opt out of it, you can't consent to it, you no longer have any privacy.
The AI would scan all of the content of your phone continuously and report the data to the companies, it would also report anything it deems offensive or illegal to the police and send the all of your information. A blind person can see the problems with this, especially given how AI policing systems regularly identify POC as more likely to commit crimes.
Edited to fix the place it's happening, I originally said the UK but meant the EU.
