Chat Control is an EU law proposal set to be approved tomorrow, which will enforce surveillance software on our computers and phones

Share this information widely. We cannot let this be approved.

Chat Control is an imminent EU proposal that mandates devices (Android, iPhone, Windows, etc.) and applications to use AI to read everything we write and monitor images/videos we send, reporting to the government. Given the unreliability of AI, our encrypted conversations would be constantly sent to the government.

This is being justified under the pretext of protecting children, but it’s not convincing. We all know what this is for. 😡

Additionally, politicians will be exempt from this monitoring - it's only for us.

The voting is tomorrow.

Only Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria and Poland are relatively clear that they will not support the proposal, but this is not sufficient for a “blocking minority”.

Don't come to me with "I have nothing to hide". That's like leaving your house open for anyone to enter "just to look around", having cameras in your bathroom sending data to surveillance companies, and no curtains on your bedroom windows.

That was a really bad idea. I'm glad it eventually didn't even get to a vote. Sadly they'll probably try again in a different form though.
@NerdyPotato It's dead? YAY! One small victory for the common pleb against the technocratic bureaucracy and their Orwellian agenda. 🌞
@Bel6EQUJ5 it's dead, but only for this week. The proponents said they will try to advance negotiations and request a vote again as soon as possible.
@NerdyPotato Oh no. They should just drop it! Ugh! I hate those people.
@Bel6EQUJ5 why? Because you don't like to be proven wrong?
@NerdyPotato Wrong? About what? I don't like the idea of being spied upon. I value my privacy and personal space.
@Bel6EQUJ5 so you don't like the god as described in the bible. We have that in common in then. But if you're not interested in pleasing him, why does it matter if he's real or not?
@NerdyPotato Why are you bringing that up here? This is about EU legislation, not the existence or non-existence of the God of the Bible.
@Bel6EQUJ5 oh sorry, I got our two threads confused. Yeah, that law should just be dropped altogether.
