We've just fought #ChatControl - now Ireland 🇮🇪 wants its own backdoor law. 🔓

But we, together with ~40 orgs, are saying no.

#NoToBackdoors 💪

Read our open letter to Ireland: 👉 globalencryption.org/2025/10/o…

Thank you. As an Irish citizen I already objected to ChatControl by writing to every Irish MEP. I will certainly object to any attempt to introduce any back doors. I do wish, however, that people would stop saying "the EU" or "Country X" wants to do things when the reality is always that some politicians want to do so--and are very likely not to succeed. Ireland doesn't even have a security clearance process for access to govt information--which should be a higher priority.

Considering the past and present child abuse problems in Catholic Eire the
Rialtas na hÉireann or government

maybe hoping to catch some of the most prolific abusers, past and present, on the Planet. members of the Catholic Clergy, Monks Nuns included..

History I know of no other country with hundreds of unmarked graves where Convents and schools buried babies and children male and female that they misused mistreated then killed.

I do think Chat control is a vile, Orwellian idea
