Make your voice heard. Tell your government that chatcontrol is not something that we will agree on!

Organized child porn rings don’t use e-mail or messenger services, but rather secret self-operated forums. With its plans for chat control, the EU Commission is putting the general security of our private communications and public networks, business secrets and state secrets at risk out of short-term surveillance desires. What we need is removals instead of snooping!”

This is so true, I don’t get how anyone can find the governments actions justifiable. Which pedophile that has at least one single braincell actually use unencrypted email providers like gmail, and without any additional encryption such as PGP? This does more harm than good.

Not that I support this type of legislation, but I think you would be surprised how dumb sexual deviants often are.

Beware of reverse survivorship bias. We’d know relatively little about the smart deviants if they rarely get caught.

This is so stupid. Messengers offer easy access to E2EE, but they are not the only way to make it work. So doing this changes nothing, even assuming you need E2EE to distribute illegal material.

And I want to stress this is not even true. Or can I not just go on the internet and download a movie, which is definitely illegal and aggressively persecuted?

This comment assumes good faith. That is probably a mistake.

Can someone please explain the process? This has been talked about forever, but nothing happens. Is something going to happen now? What’s the timeline?

The EU legislative process is long and convoluted, there are many websites where you can look it up. What’s happening now (what OP is about) is figuring out whether the Council will agree to it.

Fake democracy. They keep changing small rules and words around until it does pass. And we have to fight it.
