2 weeks ago Chat Control 1.0 was extended in the EU.
There was also a lot of confusion around Chat Control 1.0 vs Chat Control 2.0, so we created the slider above
Chat Control 2.0 is the biggest threat for end-to-end encrypted communication providers like us at Tuta which is why we continue to say no to #ChatControl & fight for everyone's right to privacy. ✊🏻❤️🔒
The EU Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse, first published in May 2022, has become the "most criticized law of all time". Here's how to stop it now!
This is only the first step #Europe needs to stifle its own citizens!
After losing your right of free speech by basically implementing #chatcontrol people will not feel open to speak freely online #observereffect
Then they will implement a thing called #prebunking and actively start #censorship your chats, or #shadowban your conversation without you knowing.
They will implemend a #cbdc #euro and follow every monetary transaction, they will map your entire life!
When you become a problem to #Europe #dictatorship they can freeze all your assets *without* a legal court order, under the council regulation (EU) 2024/2642 ( October 8 2024) ask former retired Swiss colonel #JacquesBaud
You're unable to chat, unable to travel, unable to afford housing, unable to buy food.
They can basically erase your excistence from society with a click of a button!
At Tuta, if Chat Control 2.0 is passed we have two options: to move out of the EU or sue and fight it. As our CEO, Matthias Pfau has stated, we would sue and fight for people's privacy. Because for us, undermining end-to-end encryption is not an option.
We will continue to say no to #ChatControl and fight for everyone's right to privacy. ✊🏻❤️🔒
Voluntary Chat Control is already in place since 2021, named Regulation (EU) 2021/1232. Similar to scanning obligations in the UK and the USA, this regulation allows Big Tech to scan all your data.
Yesterday was a sad day for the privacy of citizens in the EU given the extension of #ChatControl 1.0, allowing for voluntary scanning of private communications.
In light of yesterday's vote, we wanted to remind you that: Chat Control 1.0 is different from Chat Control 2.0 in that providers (like us at Tuta) are not forced to backdoor their end-to-end encryption for surveillance.
but this can be easily overturned. #chatControl has been rejected on two previous occasions and MEPs have received death threats to accept it on the third vote. The pathetic #farLeft #feminist Roberta #Metsola will face prosecution.
Chat Control 1.0-förespråkarna ger oss den efterlängtade uppföljaren som bland annat lär barn förstå processen i Europaparlamentet... för barnens skull.
Today, the European Parliament allowed the suspicionless mass scanning of private communications ("Chat Control 1.0") to pass, a measure it had rejected twice in March.
🇪🇺 The European Parliament lets #ChatControl 1.0 go through despite a majority voting against it (314:276) – allowing mass scanning of private chats until 2028. Survivors are warning. My analysis and why this is the wrong approach 👇

#ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨
After the EU parliament has rejected it TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start.
This is not democratic‼️

🇪🇺Tomorrow 12:00 PM: Final vote on reinstating #ChatControl 1.0
A simple majority is no longer enough for rejection.

A child abuse survivor urges MEPs to reject Chat Control — mass scanning won't protect children, and it breaks the encryption survivors need to safely report abuse.

Heise reports on the unprecedented move to vote again on the #ChatControl 1.0 law that the European Parliament already rejected:
„The draft is to be put on Parliament's agenda as early as Tuesday as part of an urgent procedure – immediately before the start of the summer break. Should the plenary session approve the accelerated procedure, a vote threatens on the last day of session before the holidays, when many MEPs have historically already departed.“

Member states reactivate expired chat control regulation. EU Parliament caught off guard before summer break.

@EPPGroup 🚨 Fact-check:
‼️Companies STILL scan.
‼️60% of reports come from public/cloud data, not private chats.
‼️Untargeted scanning floods police with non-actionable reports.
‼️"Urgency" = skipping democratic committee scrutiny.
The EU is a democracy in the same way X Corp would be a democracy if they provided daycare and called it the X Corp Parliament.
(The EU Parliament is the only parliament on the planet where its members cannot legislate. All they can do is vote on it. i.e., it’s a toy parliament. And it looks like they’re now confident enough to forego even that thin veneer of lipservice to democracy.)

Nu kommer EU-kommissionen försöka få igenom Chat Control 1.0 bakvägen, eftersom parlamentet sa tydligt nej. Mycket oroande. Dags att åter kontakta din folkvalda EU-parlamentariker:
Civil rights activist Dr. Patrick Breyer warns of an unprecedented "double-attack" on secure messaging ahead of critical Friday and Monday EU meetings.
