🇬🇧🚨#ChatControl is back on the agenda: As soon as next Wednesday representatives of EU governments will resume work based on a secret document. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/documents-publications/public-register/public-register-search/?DocumentNumber=12319%2F24
This is what you can do now to help: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/take-action-to-stop-chat-control-now/
Not again -.-
Yes, again. And again and again and again and again. Until they succeed. Then the next step in destroying our privacy will be aimed for. Again…
I wish them eternally wet socks that cant be taken off and a pillow that is uncomfortably warm and smells like piss for the rest of his life. And that goes for everyone being in favor of authoritarian bullshit like that.
If you want to help out, download this video made by the campaigners and share it with people who aren’t in the privacy bubble.
The info on Breyer’s page is from July 11. There are two countries listet in opposition. Germany and Poland. I’m not sure if that won’t change for Germany :/
It’s the one issue where the FDP reliably does the right thing (blocking chat control).
Based. If FDP is good at one thing its blocking. Some things for worse others for waaay better.
Considering that it’s the FDP, they’re probably primarily doing it to protect corporate interests, not the rights of the general population.
What kind of world do we want to live in? What would be the safest theoretical thing? They can’t assign one police officer per citizen, as they don’t have enough police officers. So that’s a big resource constraint. But they will soon have the tech to videotape and audiotape every single cititzen using small insect-like drones that are almost impossible to find. And before that happens, they want to know who everyone online is, what they’re doing and what they’ve done in the past, present and future. They want to know what sites you visited, who you’ve spoken to, what you’ve spoken about, and so on. And after they know this in the online world, they want to know it in the offline world too (using cameras with mics and person detection capabilities). How far will they go with their securtiy madness? It won’t be long until the average citizen has zero (not just a little, zero) privacy, neither online nor offline, probably not even on the toilet or in the bed. And like I said, if you want the ultimate security, you need to assign one small surveillance drone per citizen for a complete 100% surveillance everywhere and all of the time. If you don’t care about privacy and only care about security, that is your end goal. Is that really the world you want to live in?
No its their main objective to protect freedom in general, they stated the opposition to such things very often and that doesn’t favor cooperations, as they would be allowed to scan private chats wich they are currently not, and sell the data.
For the most part, ideologically, FDP are small-government libertarians. They do care about civil liberties sometimes, but since you don’t get fat donations that way, it’s not their main topic.
