Germany and Poland may say yes to chatcontrol!
Take Action! Send email your politicians now! Links: patrick-breyer.de Permanent Representatives Committee
I would like to know how these politicians feel about being surveilled 24/7? Because they aren’t excluded.
The European Ministry whants to exclude themselves and europeans intelligence agencies (europool) from the surveillance. The Ministry is the only instance that’s have talked about excluding.
They don’t realise they won’t be ministers for ever.
Looks that way I don’t understand how they are thinking. It is pretty obvious that they dont trust thorn or other lobbyists so they know the risks.

- Step 1: Lose election
- Step 2: You are now the opposition
- Step 3: New government surveils and harasses you

Then what’s the point of “encrypted messages”? And even if this passes I’m confident that Signal, Matrix, p2p and other similar privacy platform won’t comply. But hey if they do I’ll start sending encrypted files
Email and GPG is always an option
The hilarity of all of this is that this week the US government started warning citizens to use these platforms now because even the backdoors that were created for law enforcement to monitor suspects have been compromised, and now the telephone networks are absolutely infested with foreign hackers and the cost and effort to get them out may be too high and take too long.
How much longer will we have to periodically „stop” this? Is this some kind if a test?
The answer is forever. Even if chat control dies for good there will be some other initiative, just as there were many before this one. Maintaining your rights and freedoms unfortunately requires constant vigilance.
The “liberal” German coalition is being actively hostile as usual…
Please tell me again how the 80s and 90s were horrible times and this is the best time ever.
I will just host a matrix instance. Decentralization is the future.
Also, why don’t they realize that avoiding chat control is soo easy. Unless it isn’t actually meant to prevent crimes
Here is an interesting article on how stupid the chat control is. It’s in German, but probably easy to translate.
