#Chatcontrol is OFF the table for now. 💪

But it will be back.

Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard:
"𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗰𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀."

We have to keep fighting for #encryption and our right to #privacy 🔒

@Tutanota We must break through the mistaken assumption that any government, authority or state has the right to invade the privacy of its citizens and monitor their communications, in whatever form.

Be prepared for their next attempt…

@span Tutanota @span thegibson it’s everyone’s civil liberty to communicate privately, the encryption is just the best solution we have for that. Anti-privacy advocates always try to deflect attention from that core point.

@span Tutanota dear Mr. Hummelgaard, I suggest you get with the program and read up on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, especially article 12; and the European Convention on Human Rights, article 8.

Otherwise people might think you're a fascist.

@span Tutanota it's top of the hypocrisy from him. He will be as politician not impacted by chat control. Total bullshitman. Shame on him.

hyggelig ist das leider nicht: "Wir müssen die völlig falsche Vorstellung durchbrechen, dass es jedermanns zivile Freiheit ist, über verschlüsselte Messaging‑Dienste zu kommunizieren."
Definiere "wir"!

@span Tutanota I somehow like that this time it is not "Woohoo, we won!" It is more like "Stay alert, they'll come back." Next time they do, we will be aware and we will have tools to fight this and hopefully kill it once and for all

His comments don't particularly surprise me given the overall tendency to limit civil rights as much as possible.
However, they do disgust me.

This is a TTS rendering of your post that contains "characters" from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, to simulate "bold" text.

Roughly what people using screenreaders get to hear.

An audio file that is a text-to-speech rendering of the post this post is replying to. All characters taken from the Mathematical Sans-Serif Bold range are spelled individually. The respective text in normal characters is "We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services".

@span Tutanota it should have stayed on the table...
...so it could have been voted down for good.

@span egeltje Sorry, the wording was not clear enough: OFF as it did not get a majority yet; ON as the vote is still on in October...

@span Tutanota This quote freezes my blood, the more it goes the more it's the elites against the people.

@span Tutanota Hummelgaard is the embodyment of a facepalm. His political opinions are almost always brute force and/or unsofisticated.
He has the position he has, because he is willing to push the governments unpopular policies forward. His collegues in government can hide behind him, almost like a meat-shield. He does not understand what he is legislating, as this quote clearly shows.

Complete moron.

@span Tutanota We instead must break with the totally erroneous perception of politicians that it is their god-given right to know everything that's happening in innocent citizens' lives.

Hummelgaard denies privacy is a civil liberty and advocates for others to follow suit.

What an absolutely terrifying individual. Like, truly Orwellian mindset - in an absolutely literal sense with no exaggeration or dramatisation. Just straight-up believing that your citizens shouldn't have privacy.
