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
Can we assassinate these fucks next please?
Ok listen some of you will have to become politicians & get them life-imprisonment sentences
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.
It will just start with those, then slowly increase their right
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
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.
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.
Congrats Commission, you shot yourself once again in the foot.
“do not read this comment”
The only way to know not to read it is to read it
They always use sex crimes and “the worst of the worst” as an excuse. Always. Then they come after political dissidents and the vulnerable.
And this fight will have to be won every single time, while they have to win just once and we’ll never get it back ?
It’s obviously a rigged game and such a game can only be won by cheating. Cheating so hard no one ever dares to play this game again.So, maybe it’s time to draw post-Europe borders now that european governance has become malignant, I don’t believe it can be saved. This always ends up happenning so might as well hit that reset button early while they’re not seeing it coming this early.
… And how will you be able to distinguish between encrypted child pornography and encrypted normal messages?
It’s kind of the crux of the matter, so please answer this question
Here is a less radical version
Privacy is not negotiable. It is not a privilege granted by the state, but a fundamental condition of human freedom. Any attempt to undermine encryption, to insert backdoors, or to surveil private communications is not about protecting children, it is about total control.
The invocation of child protection is not neutral. It is a deliberate emotional manipulation, weaponized to silence dissent and shame opposition. If these proposals were truly about helping children, they wouldn’t be attacking the one technology that protects vulnerable people, encryption, including children themselves, activists, journalists, and victims of abuse.
Once the infrastructure for total surveillance is in place, it will never be dismantled without revolution. History is clear: power concedes nothing voluntarily. There will be no going back. The moment we compromise, we lose everything, and we will not get it back without blood.
There is no middle ground between liberty and submission. This is not a policy debate. This is a war for the future of human autonomy. We must reject this system entirely, not tweak it, not reform it, but destroy it at its root. To preserve freedom, we must be absolutely ungovernable.
Once the infrastructure for total surveillance is in place, it will never be dismantled with
outa revolution.The entire point of surveillance is that all attempts at revolutions can be thwarted.
Every other time in history, the oppressor has eventually rotted from inside and its carcass thrown overboard.
Over centuries humanity might escape its prison again.
But for the people alive when the prison is built, they will become cattle for the rest of their lives and so will their children.
We might one day build ourselves a prison we can never escape, like farms are for cow.
But if that ever happens, at least there is hope that a very large asteroid will sterilize this planet down to the last spore.
I only pray the infection has not spread to other stars before this happens.
Oh it’s easy, anyone talking about “child pornography” is obviously just using manipulative emotional talking points related to children to cloud the discussion. This person has forfeited their right to free speech and has outed themselves as an enemy of self-determination.
You can tell because all the people invoking “think of the children” never actually care about children in their action, except maybe for their children, but not children as an abstract concept.
What they really want is to read your emails, your correspondence, know your plans and your thoughts so they can subjugate you and enslave you for their own benefits. Those people are the enemy of every human and should be treated with less mercy than witches at Salem.
Stop playing their game, they ALWAYS do this and they always brow beat their little transparent evil plans.
You want my answer when they ask “how will you be able to distinguish between encrypted child pornography”, you go to the person that asked and punch their clock right the fuck out, take that you fucking dickhead ! And then spit in their face as they go down.
If you care about children how about you don’t fucking cut their food ration out of the budget, you horrible ghouls and vampires !
Easy: encrypt CSAM. If the hashes match… Gotta have the encryption key, though. But you mustn’t use for decryption. Only encryption
PhotoDNA already exists. But you would have to break end to end encryption on a lot of services to run such server-side checks (as client-side checks are not trustworthy)
are europeans just as bad at not reading beyond the headlines as americans?
Why doesn’t any group of people get that it’s OUR devices abd not THEIRS.
If this were just hash checks running on the local device before it’s encrypted and sent I could accept it. Using AI is a step too far.
No, even this should not be applied or sent anywhere. It’s my phone I decide what it does, no one else. I paid for it with my money
