We've just fought #ChatControl - now Ireland 🇮🇪 wants its own backdoor law. 🔓
But we, together with ~40 orgs, are saying no.

@Tutanota Thank you. As an Irish citizen I already objected to ChatControl by writing to every Irish MEP. I will certainly object to any attempt to introduce any back doors. I do wish, however, that people would stop saying "the EU" or "Country X" wants to do things when the reality is always that some politicians want to do so--and are very likely not to succeed. Ireland doesn't even have a security clearance process for access to govt information--which should be a higher priority.
@Tutanota What kind of people are these who simply refuse to understand that a backdoor is a really stupid idea? Apparently, some of them are seriously in favor of a surveillance state. Presumably, they assume that it could never affect them personally.
@Tutanota The fact that you can't really control the front door is enough reason not to open another.
@Tutanota Good lord, the scoundrels keep sticking their heads up. Punch them in the face already!
@Tutanota I guess Irish people should now contact their representatives again https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
Define 'good guys'.
The people who want them have a worse history than the people they want to stop.
