@EUCommission

#chatcontrol #digitalomnibus and #ageverification directly conflict with the decentralized, privacy-respecting internet the fediverse represents. The fediverse thrives on:

Anonymous/pseudonymous participation
End-to-end encryption options
No centralized identity verification
User autonomy

You can't have both "your data, your control" and mandatory ID checks plus content scanning infrastructure.

And by the way, its Fediverse, not Mastodon

@EUCommission Bye Big Tech! Hello FOSS!

Btw, it would be kinda awesome if the EU could find some Euros tucked away somewhere and sponsor (EU-hosted) Fediverse instances 😉

For the EU it's a small amount but for the Fedi it could be evolutionary

@EUCommission Since the EC also wants "Big Tech" to scan all communications with AI and track users continuously under the supervision of kafkaesque bureaucracy, who will control this feed if #chatcontrol is approved?

@EUCommission y'all are gonna stop chat control right? Right?

@EUCommission yes, that is good.

We would all, also appreciate it, if the EU Commission decides to protect our privacy as per EU Charter and moves against Chat Control.

Protecting children and privacy shouldn't happen at the expense of the other.

We can understand that article 52 states : “Subject to the principle of proportionality, limitations may be made only if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of
general interest recognised by the Union or the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others.”

Infringing on the rights of people to protect children may seem commendable (?) but the objectives of protecting the rights and freedoms of children are not met by these measures either.

Unfortunately, the rights of children are also at risk because age assurance measures are left up to third parties that misuse this data. It only takes a single misuse incident for such data to be online forever, both for children and adults, who then fall prey to AI exploitation.

Exploitation such as, undressing via dedicated AI models all the way to biometric surveillance. We can't allow people to live in fear of exploitation, as we have seen in America (ICE) where such data is indeed being misused to target individuals and often so by racial discrimination.

@EUCommission

Then stop Chat Control now, privacy is an inalienable right.
