Chat Control is back, but slightly changed:
❌ No backdoor of encryption
❌ No forced scanning
🚨 But: Age verification (no anonymity)
The update just quietly passed in the EU Council & now needs to be discussed with the EU Parliament.
👁️Big Techs like #Gmail and #WhatsApp will continue to scan your data.
Will you keep fighting against #ChatControl?

Unfortunately, content about it is being censored on social media such as Facebook, were accounts were suspended for posting information about it... Denmark is doing their best to force any chance of votes from MEPs at their favor (as they did to pass it...) and to do it without citizens even noticing.

And generally speaking, I am already ready mentally to times when I can't trust any personal stuff or even some grumpy talk to any electronic device around me.
I don't panic, I am calm. I expect I will have to be ready that a dictatorship in country where I live will introduce own "age verification" and jail time for not being hysterically happy about authorities.

in reply to Tuta • • •So if I understand correctly, under the current proposal, if I wish to continue to use say Signal or WhatsApp to have video chats with my life partner I will need to verify my age and expect to have any communications scanned by the service providers.
But making a phone call to the same person from a dumb phone will not?
Or does the EU proposal want to extend age verification and the voluntary scanning of communications to more traditional telephony systems as well?

in reply to Tuta • • •Honestly it's so annoying...Freedom is a human right. Why do we even need to discuss about that? Age verification is the first step for them to push their agenda. After that probably scanning and after that backdoor of encryption. It's just the same propaganda like always in the history. They try to make it less bad by approaching it step by step. So that it get's not much attention, so that no one speaks much against it. Since it's "just age verification"
But not with us!

in reply to Tuta • • •What's the likelihood of getting struck down in court (ECHR, perhaps?) as unconstitutional?
I'm holding out hope that if it gets hit hard enough with the ban-hammer, that'll set a precedent that prevents future attempts.
