“Europeans need to understand that they will be cut off from using commonplace secure messengers if chat control is adopted – that means losing touch with your friends and colleagues around the world”
This makes me sad and angry. If this goes through it only deepens my conviction for more decentralization and broad adoption of easy-to-use cryptography.
Both of my grandfathers fought in WWII and the intergenerational trauma is still rippling through. The EU as a single market is a great success story as a peace project. The EU parliament on the other hand is failing as a democratic institution to act in its citizen’s interest. There is broad consensus among citizens, security experts, and messaging services wrt ChatControl. No one wants this.
Regardless of what the outcome is, we will continue to build open source software. And I will continue to work to support startups doing the brave work to build these products.
📣 If the EU Council wants to exempt themselves from the #ChatControl client-side scanning, then they know what they are doing is wrong.
The vote is today.
Let them know we will not accept mass #surveillance! Together we can stop this dangerous law. 💪
