Here it is: the Finnish Parliament has sided against #ChatControl !
I am overjoyed that in their statement, they have outlined exactly what this proposal would entail: mass surveillance in Europe.
From their statement (translation by me):
"..the suggested model would, in fact, lead to the mass surveillance of communication and would weaken the integrity of communication in the EU."

It's about time the #EU Commission reflects on European values and increases data protection, not undermining it. ✊

Now we must convince #Australia to do the same.

The conversation with @josh and @matthew about @matrix on @FLOSS_Weekly was fascinating and for once I would have enjoyed more than an hour. Matthew's frustration with trying to explain to legislators why #ChatControl and #OnlineSafetyBill are so misguided was especially striking - I do hope @EUCommission listen.

📣 If the EU Council wants to exempt themselves from the #ChatControl client-side scanning, then they know what they are doing is wrong.
The vote is today.
Let them know we will not accept mass #surveillance! Together we can stop this dangerous law. 💪

The planned #chatcontrol makes the world less secure and more authoritarian, as it is directed against private and encrypted communication. Proponents are using disinformation, lies, and sleight of hand to push through the project. But chat control can still be stopped. A commentary.

🚨 If you are living in the #EU contact your representatives and let them know that you oppose #ChatControl!!!
Mass #surveillance has no place in Europe!
We need to get loud. Call the number below to make your voice heard! 📢
First, review posts with the #ChatControl hashtag, as there are lots of well-informed people sharing reliable information.
@quincy linked to a directory of the relevant contact points for each EU member state and requested that people write a (polite) letter, so if you have voting rights in the EU that's a good place to start.
chaos.social/@quincy/112630111…
Urgent action needed to save secrecy of correspondence in the #EU:Write to your country's delegates to stop plans for "client side scanning" of your devices, your photos, your family chat by some central entity.
It cannot hurt to send a (polite) letter before Wednesday 19, 2024 (day of the vote in the council).

It was nearly two years ago that I wrote this article[1] about the EU #ChatControl surveillance directive on behalf of the @cryptpad team.
Very little has changed since then. Experts in technology, law, and policy all agree that the proposal undermines basic European rights, that it will be abused by authoritarian member states, and that the proposed tech solutions cannot possibly do the job the supporting legislators have claimed.
Nevertheless, they have persisted, claiming the support of "expert testimony" that overwhelmingly consists of unsupported claims by lobbyists associated with law enforcement and defense contractors who stand to benefit financially from its implementation.
A vote is expected to take place on June 19th. These have been scheduled and delayed multiple times already, but this it feels like they might get away with it. There is a lot going on in the EU at the moment, and people are both distracted and tired from fighting this for so long.
I'll try to make resistance easier by collecting some suggested actions below, with links.
