The EU Commission is lying open on social media about chat control. Tomorrow EU governments debate about Chat control 2.0 Use the fightchatcontrol.eu email tool to make yourself heard
EU: We are not going to read your chats or look at your photos, we just stop the CP.
People: so how will you know what chats and photos contain CP?
EU: Just trust me bro…
I’m actually starting to think 25/7 monitoring of all digital communications is actually a good idea.
For politicians.
It’s the only way to sure they’re accountable to the public. This should be the trade off. You enter into politics and literally the only privacy you ever have is when you’re in the bathroom.
Every fart, sneeze, cough, every email you send, every text you send on a phone, website you visit, is public record.
there will always be burner phones
Good luck getting one under 24/7 surveillance.
Prisons are full of contraband. I imagine it’s just that much easier on the outside.
“Only the thing we are searching for will be searched for”
How do you know if a message has that content without scanning all messages to begin with?
The fuck? Do they think we are stupid?
Do they think we are stupid?
They definitely do. And they are partly right, for the average person this is enough to stop worrying
The average person wasn’t even worried or indeed aware of this to begin with
They do the Kremlin defence, just shit out words without meaning, wrong meaning, correct meaning, more words, and everyone can find their “right” answer.
Here the gullible/tech illiterate can get their “right” answer.
Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched for and can be detected.
Uh-huh. And how do you search for something specific without decrypting everything first? This is fucking embarrassing.
Ok listen some of you will have to become politicians & get them life-imprisonment sentences
They always use sex crimes and “the worst of the worst” as an excuse. Always. Then they come after political dissidents and the vulnerable.
The wording of that message wiggles around a lot. When you read it again, you realize there can be:
- almost every monitoring of online communications (just not ‘general’)
- all chat scanning (just no chat ‘control’)
- everything can be detected (just child abuse will be searched for AND detected)
- sneak peaking at everybody’s chats is ok. (But ‘detection orders’ need a thorough process)
This is the language of some one who knows is guilty
“do not read this comment”
The only way to know not to read it is to read it
They should just mandate that the child pornographers set the evil bit. It would save the EU leaders the trouble of learning how cryptography works.
they are gonna keep at it until it passes. the only way to stop this is deposing them.
I don’t see how we can stop it. If they don’t succeed this year, they will try the next, and if not next, they will try the year after until it works. How do we stop this? We can’t. Its like cancer. You can only slow the process down by being against them. Thats it :/ we all will be surveiled and there is nothing to stop it.
All we do as privacy advocates is to jump around. If one thing becomes illegal, we jump over to something else that provides privacy once again.
We are slowly becoming cashless, but new tech arrived and we started with crypto like monero. Once crypto is banned, we find different methods in staying anonymous or private :)
we depose them. they can’t try again next year if they are not in power. of course that’s easier said, but there is an out that’s historically effective against abuse of power.
solutions like alternative apps and oses and techniques are always an individualistic bandaid that should be thought of as temporary until they close the loophole.
Dictators never leave peacefully.
no, they don’t. though if it were that easy we wouldn’t need to worry that much about things like chat control.
This is absolutely a bad idea that shouldn’t be implemented. However, everyone who is continuing to push fo the digital spying with the rhetoric like that needs to be checked thoroughly. Statistically, I can almost guarantee that their hard drives is full of child porn and their basements are full of skeletons.
Why doesn’t any group of people get that it’s OUR devices abd not THEIRS.
It will just start with those, then slowly increase their right

Congrats Commission, you shot yourself once again in the foot.
