What we watch for — Viber's content is end-to-end encrypted, which keeps it out of Chat Control's scope. We watch for weakened encryption claims, client-side scanning language, or new qualifiers around E2EE in these documents.

text is the extracted record we hash and diff; raw is the page's original HTML kept verbatim as evidence — it renders without its styling here, by design.

App Store privacy label — Rakuten Viber Messenger

Apple requires every app to declare the data it collects. This is Viber's current declaration, as shown on the App Store; ScanRecords records when it changes.

What we searched for

A status that rests on absence is only as good as the search behind it. Every one of Viber's 3 archived documents (87,663 characters) was searched for the same published vocabulary used on every company here — in English, German and French. The search is a plain function of the archived text and re-runs whenever that text changes, so it always describes the documents listed above. Re-run it against this archive yourself with tools/scan-terms.mjs.

Not one term matched anywhere in these documents. Whatever this company does or does not do, its own tracked documents do not discuss scanning at all.

Found nowhere in these documents: Regulation 2021/1232 · derogation / Ausnahmeregelung / dérogation · Chat Control / Chatkontrolle · ePrivacy · CSAM / CSAE · child sexual abuse / Kindesmissbrauch · NCMEC / CyberTipline · PhotoDNA · hash matching / hash database · Internet Watch Foundation · scan / scanning / gescannt · automated detection / automatisierte Erkennung · classifier / machine learning detection · monitor content / review content
