It’s right there in the name: Chat Control. Take them at their word!

Look at Australia’s “hacking” bill. It was about letting the government hack (take over) your account and post as you. The “hacking” referred to ahat THEY would do — to YOUR accounts:

The name is "Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse".
