And so the GDPR does not only protect your data. It also protects you from things like profiling or automated legal decisions based on existing data.
For example a health provider is of course allowed to collect and save you health information. Analysing their huge data set and deciding that you are statistically a risk patient and terminating your contract is still very much illegal.

Right now member states are not allowed to unilaterally mandate chat control I believe.

If that's their legal defense, LMFAO.
