Wait a second. Chat control? What is that and why should we as autonomists and anti-authoritarians be interested in it at all? Chat control is officially the EU regulation for the prevention and fight against sexual abuse of children, a current project of the European Union, which is postponed for now, but could possibly be decided soon.

From that page is proof positive that politicians should not have the right to legislate stuff they don't understand:

the new EU Child Protection Centre is to proactively search publicly accessible internet content automatically for known CSAM. This crawling can also be used in the darknet and is thus more effective than private surveillance measures by providers.

Does he know what the darknet is? Darknet sites tend not to bother with a robots.txt file.

The hidden services bother with a robots.txt file as much as the EU crawlers.
They can just start at an Onion link collection and start crawling.

Law enforcement already had quite some success cracking down on things like Silk Road, Encrochat and others. I suppose they don't just use Google, they better have custom crawlers and police officers actively browsing the dark web.
