They are currently voting on amends to the regulation. The "Chat Control" proposal would legalise scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.
I guess a combination of contrarianism and the control not going far enough.
Probably more likely that they are against it as long as they can be targeted. They want to wait until they are in charge politically and can control it, and then they'll be behind it so they can target their perceived enemies.
Pretty much how it went here in the USA. All the shit the right wing used to scream and rail against is everything they're instituting now that they feel relatively sure they won't have to let go of the power in the future. Once they get their tentacles in, they'll turn on a dime and support it.
