To quote the article's introduction:

The End of the Privacy of Digital Correspondence

The EU Commission proposes to oblige providers to search all private chats, messages, and emails automatically for suspicious content โ€“ generally and indiscriminately. The stated aim: To prosecute child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). The result: Mass surveillance by means of fully automated real-time surveillance of messaging and chats and the end of privacy of digital correspondence.

Other aspects of the proposal include ineffective network blocking, screening of personal cloud storage including private photos, mandatory age verification resulting in the end of anonymous communication, appstore censorship and excluding minors from the digital world.

To be fair: this naivity/corruption/authotaritan desire will be punished at the end. If whoever is voting in favor of this assumes they themselves (or their family and friends and thus by extention themselves) will be excluded will be in for a rude awakening.
