While I'm generally very pro-EU, this #ChatControl initiative they keep pushing - despite experts having persistently debunking the rationale behind it - is indefensible.

Instead, this initiative will create an extremely invasive surveillance state where everything you type, view and receive is automatically scanned & potentially (falsely) flagged for human review.

This would mean the end of privacy.

If you are an EU-citizen, please consider writing to your MEPs.

Many EU member states are arguing for forcing the American WhatsApp to inspect all our photos and links, using AI. If the AI is in any “doubt” if this might be child pornography, your photo, location, phone number & other details get reported to Europol and a local police force. This is a terrible plan: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/chatcontrol-in-brief/ #chatcontrol

In case you are falsely feeling protected outside of Europe:

Chat Control doesn't just concern Europeans. It concerns all of us.

These kind of regulations will come for all of us, everywhere, if we do not ALL push against it everywhere.

If you do not understand how this is all intertwined, I invite you to read more privacy news and in-depth analysis. Because we must all support each other's privacy fights.

Privacy is a human right 💚

Fight for a better world, together ✊🌍

The upcoming chat control regulations in Europe threaten our privacy and freedom of expression. These measures could lead to mass surveillance, infringing on our fundamental rights and creating a chilling effect on open dialogue.

In contrast, using XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) and monocles chat offers a secure alternative. XMPP is decentralized, giving users control over their data, while monocles chat ensures end-to-end encryption for confidential conversations.

Let’s prioritize security and freedom in our communications! Choose platforms that protect your rights.

Bert Hubert wees er ook al op dat een prominente Volt-promotor, een uitgesproken voorstander is van Chatontrole. Dus ja, ga eerst maar het gesprek aan binnen jullie eigen kring.

#Volt#Chatcontrol

Eindelijk wat serieuze aandacht voor de idiote #chatcontrole-plannen bij Eenvandaag.

De @EUCommission wil al onze chatberichten scannen nog voor verzonden zijn. '

China verbleekt erbij en het is bovendien in strijd met ons grondwettelijk briefgeheim

Mylene Tabernal van @voltnederland en #DefenceForChildren is voor deze plannen.

Bert Hubert @bert_hubert is tegen, net als de @Piratenpartij, die aandacht kreeg in het #nosjournaal.

This is so insane and completely out of the question on so many levels, the mere fact that one can push for this without immediately losing one's political credibility and influence and becoming a laughing-stock (and subject to parliamentary investigation) is still shocking to me, after all those years of fighting this.

#ChatControl

Overigens hebben we #ChatControl vorig jaar voordat @ReiniervanLanschot werd verkozen al uitgebreid besproken: https://peertube.protagio.org/w/iy2z5hc5XLemtHDoMxxWTn

Dat was een goede voorbereiding voor de discussies richting de stemming op 14 oktober.

The right to privacy is essential to a healthy democracy.

If we do not fight for the former,
we will also lose the latter.
