Reality Check: EU Council Chat Control Vote is Not a Retreat, But a Green Light for Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance and the End of Right to Communicate Anonymously
Contrary to headlines suggesting the EU has "backed away" from Chat Control, the negotiating mandate endorsed today by EU ambassadors in a close split vote paves the way for a permanent infrastructure of mass surveillance.Patrick Breyer
Någon av de bästa artiklarna jag läst gällande Chat Control! Av Ella Jakubowska som är head of policy på @edri
Läs den!
"There is no single technological "silver bullet" solution to the serious problem of online CSAM. But that doesn't mean we must choose between "chat control" or nothing. As experts in child protection have long highlighted, fighting online CSAM requires a broad spectrum of solutions that encompass an all-of-society approach."

5/5 ✊🏾We will continue to call on our lawmakers to ensure that the final #CSARegulation protects children while being compatible with #FundamentalRights, protecting encrypted communications, and not forcing the widespread use of unreliable and data-hungry age verification tools.

1/5📍#ChatControl: Today, following a lot of public pressure, representatives of the EU member states have finally agreed on their position to remove arguably the most controversial part of the #CSARegulation: the requirement for message and email services to scan users' private communications.
🔑 This is a key development. We, along with hundreds of experts, have criticised this part of the law for undermining the presumption of innocence and posing an existential threat to #encryption.
I believe Europeans need to worry more about Chat Control / ProtectEU.
It is absolutely dystopian & can not be allowed to be implemented!
After all, it can't be any good if the politicians want to be exempt from it ;)

Why do I get the feeling that lately, in so many countries, new regulations are popping up with only one purpose - to erode privacy 🔓? It feels like a bad joke. I can't keep up anymore.
I wish I could fight them all at once, put pressure everywhere 🌍, no matter where I live. But I don't have the time. I'm already drowning in an endless to-do list.
Why couldn't the government set a different deadline? Why are they so determined to push this through? My mind can't wrap around it 
I just hope they come to their senses and never implement it 🙏

If you’re unaware, the EU has engaged in mass surveillance in the Global South far ahead of attempts to ram #ChatControl through the EU legal system.
Done underhandedly through Frontex, the EU handed data-extraction tools capable of retrieving call logs, photos, GPS locations and WhatsApp messages from any phone to West African nations, helping transfer migration data from host countries to the EU.

If you are wondering why Chat Control
is being brought back so relentlessly,
despite a clear and strong opposition from citizens, human rights advocates, and child protection organizations alike,
I recommend you read this enlightening article from 2023 (alas still relevant):
Spoiler: It's lobbyists who want lots of your tax money, and don't care about the children.

🚨 Attention EU Citizens 🚨
💬 Chat Control could mandate all services to scan all private digital communications of everyone residing in the European Union, and it's currently waiting to be green-lit by the EU Parliament tomorrow.
According to Dr. Patrick Breyer a digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament: "Chat Control is being pushed through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan."
#chatcontrol #privacy #eu
Denmark and other EU governments still pursue #chatcontrol.
They still want to permanently legalize client-side scanning but postponed making it mandatory.
They also want to increase age-verification controls which risk to ruin what little is left of privacy in current digital spaces, taken hostage already by US corps.
Ourselves? We double down on providing the most private, reliable and fun messaging experience, with a growing federating #chatmail relay network across the globe.
Failing at pushing for #ChatControl once should’ve been the end of this guy’s career.
Trying a second time should incur a jail sentence

I hate that I can basically recycle my posts about Chat Control every month or so. These lobbyists are extremely motivated.
Let's show them that we are
even more motivated than them to protect privacy rights, human rights, and democracy! ✊🔒

• Recent news:
"Just before a decisive meeting in Brussels, digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament Dr. Patrick Breyer is sounding the alarm. Using a “deceptive sleight of hand,” a mandatory and expanded Chat Control is being pushed through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan. The legislative package could be greenlit tomorrow in a closed-door EU working group session."

Politicians:
Terrified about citizens that might be sending private messages they cannot read on Signal -> Sudden panic about "protecting the children" 🙃
