Your data. Your feed. Your control.
The fediverse was built on communities, not corporations, deciding how they interact.
The Digital Services Act now brings that same accountability to the rest of the web.
Then stop Chat Control now, privacy is an inalienable right.

If I were a digital rights activist, I would see this time as a golden opportunity.
#Grok, the #AI "assistant" powered by Musk's xAI, has become an engine of non-consensual image and video generation at a mass scale - including pornographic and pedopornographic content. Creating and distributing this imagery has never been quicker or easier. All one has to do is reply to an image posted by someone on X with a mention of Grok and a prompt. This feature was restrained recently but people who pay an $8 subscription to X can still do it. As Sam Cole writes on @404mediaco : "Masterful Gambit: Musk Attempts to Monetize Grok's Wave of Sexual Abuse Imagery" https://www.404media.co/x-premium-grok-paywall-images-ai-generator/
How many politicians pushing for #ChatControl are still using X? How many official government accounts? You know, the same people who screamed WE NEED TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN and pushed for the scanning of all digital communications and files (including E2EE encrypted ones) of European citizens? An "Orwellian nightmare" as @Em0nM4stodon wrote on Privacy Guides: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/09/08/chat-control-must-be-stopped/#act-now
In the Privacy Guides article by Em, the French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Irish governments (amongst many others) were in full support of Chat Control. As far as I can tell, prominent politicians, Prime Ministers and official government accounts from these countries are still posting on X.
Is there anything we can do to point out the hypocrisy? Or have the abuse machine that is Grok sanctioned and fined? And - this is key - use this horrible incident to push politicians to FINALLY quit X? It's about time.

Shopping should be safe and transparent.
Too many consumers face dark patterns, misleading offers, and products that do not meet safety standards.
The 2030 Consumer Agenda sets the path for safer, clearer, and more sustainable choices.
It focuses on:
🌍Completing the single market
💻 Digital fairness that tackles dark patterns and unfair personalisation
♻️ Sustainable and repairable choices
🛡️Better enforcement
Safe and fair for every consumer ❤️.
@EUCommission as a consumer, I will feel more SAFE when you stop attempts to force #spyware on my phone that inspects all my communication, images and links. And don't tell me about TRUST when you try to force me to use my ID when I want to communicate with others.
We're disappointed that the new EU compromise proposal will implement a loophole that essentially brings back mandatory client-side scanning. #ChatControl is back. We strongly urge the EU to remove this loophole in Article 4 of the new draft.

Chat Control
En résumé : le scan de échanges serait seulement « volontaire » pour les services concernés, mais l'article 4 du projet révisé ouvre la porte à une obligation pour les fournisseurs de services de prendre « toutes les mesures appropriées pour réduire les risques ». Cette formulation imprécise peut être interprétée comme une possible obligation de scanner les messages privés, y compris pour les services chiffrés de bout en bout.
Ce n’est pas vraiment dit dans le texte, mais l’imprécision du texte alarme. On va voir ce que ça va devenir.
