Monday, June 29 could become a defining day for online privacy in Europe.

The EU's final trilogue on Chat Control 2.0 could decide the future of one of the bloc's most controversial surveillance proposals. Critics warn it could pave the way for mandatory message scanning, encryption backdoors, and unprecedented access to private communications and potentially affecting apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram.

The decision won't just impact Europe. It could shape the future of encrypted messaging and digital privacy worldwide.

I'm completely pro chat control. To make it more accepted, we just need to show that it's a good idea and lead by example! That's why I propose, to completely publish all communications of our politicians and those that they communicate with. This content trove will be reviewed with AI* to make sure that there are no bad guys hiding in the government, right? As always, if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear!

* AI - Audience Interest: every one of us is free to analyze everything and publish and discuss their findings publicly.

Saying its for CSAM detection purposes is so devious. People absolutely see that and support it because naturally if your against this your supporting the proliferation of CSAM, which of course ridiculous given more then 1 minute of thought.

Most perpetrators of child abuse are the parents of the victim.

Oh god no ! Again ?!

What does signal leaving europe mean? That i cant install it and recieve updates while in europe? Or that if it detects im in europe it wont function at all.

Just thinking about sideloading or location spoofing

Why are you posting this article on 3 different accounts (this one, hoohoohoot and UnLocoPoco) with copy/pasted responses? Very bot-like behaviour.
