⚠️ #ChatControl2 threatens private messaging across the EU.

As a #Whisperfish maintainer & privacy researcher, I’m alarmed: the new “Danish” proposal forces mass scanning & client-side #backdoors into #encrypted apps — while exempting governments & military.

As @signalapp says, this would “break encryption as we know it” — and we won’t comply.

Time’s critical: govs lock positions by 12 Sept; vote is 14 Oct.

@edgeofeurope Not sure whether it says something about professional comms! Does anyone have info on that?

@edgeofeurope True, but trade secret law is special... And it might actually not technically impact it. But IANAL, especially not on trade secrets. Interesting take, however!

My fear with this approach though, is that the EU could focus on fixing problems with trade secrets in CC, ignoring the real issue. It might just be a distraction from the real problem.
