@echo_pbreyer What's the source for Belgium being undecided again? We had some strong to very strong refusals of the proposal in our press here.

So Belgium is saying that service providers should just scan and read our E2EE messages but only pass them on after whoever in charge would approve.
And "This would also allow detection to take place in an encrypted
environment" (sic)
Do they think you can put a message in a magical "encrypted" box which does detection but totally not decryption, and only when a judge opens it anyone can know what it was?
If anyone wonders "is this how quantum cryptography works"?
No, but if you make a good sales pitch to the Belgian government then they might take it anyway. At this point, i can only assume they believe anything that sounds techy and fits what they want to hear

@echo_pbreyer @signal Will stop. But #whatsapp #meta is very pleased to take full control of chat. They support #chatcontrol not only give them a monopoly on chat but also all Photos documents and text. The biggest #data grab in history. @EUCommission sells our data to #zuckerberg and destroys our privacy. #eu will fall soon in the hands of the fascist uprising supported by big tech and #tiktok
@echo_pbreyer thanks for the templates and contact information. Just sent a few emails and will do a few more every day.

How come you wrote it in the 3rd person?
@TagHunt It's a press release
@echo_pbreyer That's how it works. When they run out of arguments, they start lying. It seems that any means are acceptable to them when it comes to enforcing mass surveillance. Does anyone really still believe that this is about protecting children?
Nuremberg 2.0 when?
