Today, two open letters from academics on the scientific arguments against the current #CSS (client side scanning) initiatives have been released:

* The first (in English, internationally coordinated) one is online at https://tinyurl.com/CSAScientistsLetter and still open for additional signatures.

* The second (in German, by #Austrian academics) one is online at https://www.ins.jku.at/chatcontrol/ and explicitly includes law experts in addition to the arguments from a security, privacy, and AI perspective.

This debate is expected to gain new steam with #Spain taking over the EU council presidency, given recently leaked statements like "Ideally, in our view, it would be desirable to legislatively prevent EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption" (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/europe-break-encryption-leaked-document-csa-law).

Please boost on any channels you deem adequate. The discussion is still open, and we have little time to bring it to a more rational level.
