While the ECHR decision is unlikely to have any effect within Russia, it matters to countries in Europe that are contemplating similar decryption laws – such as Chat Control and the UK government’s Online Safety Act.

Chat Control is shorthand for European data surveillance legislation that would require internet service providers to scan digital communications for illegal content – specifically child sexual abuse material and potentially terrorism-related information.

Efforts to develop workable rules have been underway for several years and continue to this day, despite widespread condemnation from academics, privacy-oriented orgs, and civil society groups.
