Supposing this happens in the near future, what would it mean in practice for the #Fediverse?

@mullvadnet just ran a commercial about Chat Control during "Uppesittarkvällen" in front of a huge chunk of Sweden's population.
Spending ad money to warn people about mass surveillance instead of selling VPN subscriptions. This is why I trust you.
Chat Control needs to be stopped. More companies should follow your lead.
Thanks for doing this.

Mullvad waarschuwt voor een "Chatcontrol 3.0" plan dat de Europese Commissie volgend jaar zou willen introduceren, waarbij sommige landen willen dat vpn-aanbieders en andere internetbedrijven worden verplicht om bij te houden wie en wanneer gebruikmaken van hun diensten.
"Dit gaat niet meer over het beschermen van kinderen of het bestrijden van terrorisme, het gaat over het normaliseren van massasurveillance, dmv een juridische slijtageslag.'
1/6📍 #ChatControl: Yesterday, EU lawmakers entered the final stage of negotiations ('trilogues') on the controversial #CSARegulation, aka Chat Control.
📣 EDRi has been advocating for years to make sure that this law tackles the severe crime of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online without resorting to #MassSurveillance, breaking #encryption or compelling people to undergo intrusive age checks, all of which would have harmful consequences for people and communities.
Huge Victory: #ChatControl no longer forces us to break #encryption. 🎉
🚨But: It now wants #AgeVerification.
The Trilogue starts today 🗓️
You've helped us stop #backdoors: https://tuta.com/blog/chat-control-criticism
Now, help us stop #AgeVerification! 👇️
🇪🇺Banned from chatting with your own parents? 📵 Sounds absurd, but risks becoming reality for under-17s. Final negotiations on #ChatControl start today. We don't need a Nanny from Brussels! 🚫🇪🇺

Ahead of today's first #CSARegulation trilogue, @ClaudiaCanelles stresses: "EU Member States have made it very clear: the #CSAM Regulation can only move forward if it protects #minors while maintaining #privacy and #encryption." ⚖️

🇬🇧 UK & 🇦🇺 Australia have the worst anti-encryption laws among democratic countries.
🇨🇦 Canada risks joining them with Bill C-2.
🇺🇸 US still relies on secret orders under FISA & CLOUD Act.
🇨🇭 Switzerland is no longer the privacy paradise it was claimed to be.
#Encryption is under attack worldwide. Our new global overview shows why Europe remains the best place for encrypted services.

To fix this map, in Europe we will go from 'best' to 'worst' with #ChatControl...
Well, not if UK ends up with their spyware thing, what the hell is going on there?
Let’s get to the point.
In the EU, you have more control over what you see online.

@EUCommission
Can we get control over who watches us though? Please stop #chatcontrol

Totally agree to be pissed about #ChatControl and Yes to direct that anger at the @EUCommission.
At the same time, I think it's important to understand that the Commission is not one unified block. It's a huge institution, and totally possible that the Directorate-General for Home Affairs promotes breaking #encryption while DG Justice attempts to protect #democracy and folks who drafted the original #DSA in DG Connect try to defend Europeans' free expression rights from #BigTech overreach.
Europe is betting big on open science and collaboration.
In 2026–2027, Horizon Europe will put €14 billion into research that matters:
🌱 Clean tech for real climate action
🧠 Ethical AI and better healthcare
💡 Support for startups and innovators
Participation is simpler, talent is welcome everywhere.
Science for people. Progress we share.
Here's how: https://link.europa.eu/wVttRj
@EUCommission Oxymoron of the day: "Ethical AI".
Please do better!
I am an EU supporter in a EEA land full of Eurosceptics.
Please STOP making my life harder by pushing out nonsense such as #chatcontrol #digitalomnibus and #ethicalAI
How can I convince people of my adopted country of the usefulness of the EU when I find myself struggling more and more to convince myself.
@EUCommission Isn't that a bit misleading because an online poll cannot be correctly representative of "Europeans", and is naturally biased towards digital anything?
Anyway, education of children and people is fundamental, especially when there's a rapid cultural shift.
So, the EC is on the right track: let's educate everyone about fundamentals, ie. individual and collective impact in this connected new world.
Most importantly, keep a whole chapter on the dangers of mass surveillance on society, with #chatcontrol being a brilliant example.
