Notes

Short, sourced write-ups from the record. Everything here cites primary documents; nothing here is a hot take.

• 26 Jul 2026 One app, two stories: what the same apps tell Apple and Google
  We now archive both stores' privacy declarations. For several apps, the two disagree — recorded verbatim, with the caveats the comparison needs.
• 26 Jul 2026 The law's own pages are in the archive now
  Companies aren't the only ones who quietly edit. The Commission's policy page and the Parliament's 2.0 tracker are now recorded daily, under the same rules.
• 26 Jul 2026 On the list, but not in the reports: Snapchat and Apple
  Two names appear among services said to scan under the derogation — and don't appear among the five providers that filed the mandatory reports.
• 26 Jul 2026 Five providers, verbatim
  The Commission's report names exactly who files under Chat Control. The list is shorter than most people assume.
• 26 Jul 2026 Why this archive exists
  Voluntary scanning means the decision lives in quiet policy edits. A baseline recorded today cannot be reconstructed later.
