Chatcontrol is once again stopped. Good work again everyone who stood up, this is once again a win everytime it is a win.
Next country that is up for Presidency is Poland 🇵🇱 who are anti-chatcontrol.
It’s insane that this bullshit can be pushed again and again and again. It gives me some comfort that they have still not succeeded, but they only need to succeed once, and if they are not blocked from putting this forward again, we would have to succeed again and again and again.
It would help if European voters stopped behaving like spoiled children and voting for wannabe dictators because inflation or immigration or whatever.
It’s hard to avoid when all our parties are in favor of this garbage.
Then run for election. That’s the point of democracy. If our leaders are bad, there’s no one to blame but ourselves.
Obligatory addendum: A downvote does not constitute a counter-argument.
Even more insane that almost 2/3 of countries support this.
Authoritarianism is very tempting to people in power, but can be hard to sell in the physical world. In the digital world however…
Wait, how the fuck are only Central Europe, Finland and Estonia in support of encryption. What the actual fuck people?
If you look at the swedish parties only one is in support, but they are the biggest :/
I can only talk about France as that one is super obvious to me: They been fighting (peaceful) protests organizers. Like hacking their phones and getting all their data from all the possible platforms, in the hopes of shutting them down using the slightest thing that can get them into trouble.
See you in two years when they attempt again
*two months
*two weeks
*two days
*two hours (now)
*two mins
This time.
Certain death tomorrow is better than certain death today.
I share your pessimistic view on what this win means, but don’t get disheartened. It is still a win for privacy and citizen rights.
Next up: tomorrow.
It will be brought up another time until the wanted result is in.
Yes this will be brought up again and again but everytime it falls it is a win for us, i think it is important to remebemer that. We need to share information and stand up next time too. it can also become better in the future, Swedish FRA (like USA´s NSA) says e2ee is important and urges people to use it. Netherlands inteligent agency says that chatcontrol harms national security. FBI and CISA urges people to use e2ee after china hacked into lawfull intercept backdoors. All this have happend since last time chatcontrol was on the agenda and this time 2 more countrys has agreed to say no.
FBI and Cisa: Nederlands inteligent agency 1: Nederlands inteligent agency 2: Swedish FRA:
Yarrr! Pirates really deliver.
Also, why Sweeden supports it?
Hey, well the reason is that both the right and left parties both want this to pass. They say its to “protect the children” even if this law would violate the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Also they want to use the crime rate to justify this law of mass surveillance.

You would think we could get the other two baltic countries and france to oppose it…
It’s OK, they’ll just keep trying.
As the IRA said to Margaret Thatcher, they only have to succeed once.
Cool, glad for y’all.
Hey, now that you’ve taken care of that, we’re having a little fascism problem here in America. We were wondering if you could, ya’know, return that little favor we did for ya in the 1940s?
We’re dealing with a little WW2 style problem ourselves with Russia eating away at Ukraine. Would love to come and help you all, but before we do anything to a country that prides itself in having the biggest stick we gotta clean up our back yard first.
Muricans’ ability to make any and every thing about themselves amazes me
How many times is this now?
Too many
Well, they’re going on my big list of “throw money at orgs to make this hellhole a bit less shite” I’ll check in January when I know my earnings for 2024:
How about no encryption for civil servants?
Why it has UK’s map next to EU?
Patric Breyer usually posts in German. The UK flag in the tweet is just to indicate the language of the tweet.
