The current #EU proposal on #ChatControl is following the path laid out in "The Age of #SurveillanceCapitalism." That's terrifying.

@chatcontrol 😱 No! This isn't really happening! Where did this sudden change come from?! Why do I feel like with each day the pressure increases, it only seems to get better, when in reality, it's getting worse?!
There was a moment when I was certain that when Denmark withdrew the idea, that was the end of these stupid ideas for this term. It never occurred to me that it was really just a cover to try to push it through in some less obvious way. I didn't think they'd stoop to such tactics.
But I'll say what I always say in such cases: We have to fight! We have to protest! ✊ We can't let this get through! Because if it does, there will be no point in protecting privacy. It scans everything. All of you.
It will destroy all the great communication solutions that I value not only for privacy but also for functionality 💔 It will destroy all of us.

I hope that this time we will not win the battle but the whole war! 🙏

And a plea if anyone from the @EUCommission cares to read this, let me be plain. We do not want sacrifice the rights, safety, protections, and privacy of ourselves and future generations for whatever short term gains you been led to believe are possible and that we've been missing out on. We're fine not having the latest AI bots and image filters in our chat, we don't care if our personal data isn't included in our google search and we have to painstakingly switch the tab to where it lives, we don't need the latest feature to talk to on our phone. Access to any of those things do not make our lives materially better. We all can see happens when those protections are removed and private industry is allowed access by simply looking what is happening in the USA. The current society and system in USA should be looked at as a cautionary tale, not an aspirational goal. We do not want what they have, we are not missing out, we are not falling behind, please stop trying to force this regression on us. The ONLY path that leads to one where our lives becoming materially worse, so why are you insisting on repeating all their same mistakes?

So... what happened with #ChatControl today? I'm not seeing any results or news being posted.
Good morning @pluralistic . I'm not sure if you are presantly and actively still involved with the #EU efforts of the @eff , but since we're at defcon 3 and dropping fast over here on the #european continent, I thought I'd ask. Do you know if they are already engaged working with the @EC_DIGIT to help guide them away from making this horrible mistake before it is too late (see link from @noybeu at end of post)? Is there anything "we" can do to help or efforts to coordinate. In your interviews, podcasts, and writings you regularly mention the #gdpr and #dma as the only real consumer protections left in the world, and the only thing slowing down the, now seemingly inevitable, ameri- #enshittification of EU. Would you be willing to bring mainstream and public awareness to this development in your future talks/interviews regarding #enshittification?
Please interpret the attached image along with all included subtext you can think of to be a deliberate choice in portraying the precarity of our current situation, and the forces we may be facing.

Next stop: #SFSCon 🇮🇹
I'm very happy to speak at the #Fediverse track ✨
To realize the vision of digital commons in the #EuropeanUnion – one built on openness, participation, and resilience – we need the active support of public institutions, civil #society & #developers for the Fediverse 🙏
In this talk, I will explore why open protocol based networks are essential building blocks for #digitalcommons - especially in the 🇪🇺 context

Russia systematically violates the rights of captured Ukrainians – both military and civilians. Torture, abuse, and killings are not isolated crimes – they are part of a deliberate, state-driven policy. Russia must be held accountable for its disrespect of human rights.
Every #Ukrainian must be released from Russian captivity – this is a key step to achieve just and lasting peace.

The #europeanunion #eurobarometer survey on #socialmedia use makes for sobering reading.
The majority of European citizens now get their political news not via home grown channels but filtered and targeted by foreign adtech conglomerates. With all the implications of this for democracy, sovereignty and culture.
Glad you asked: neither the #fediverse nor #bluesky are being mentioned at all. European leaders fast asleep at the wheel as always.
