Sharepic „Chatkontrolle stoppen – Ruf jetzt deinen Abgeordneten an!“ mit ausführlichem Telefonskript. Schwarze Box mit Formulierungshilfe: Man stellt sich mit Namen vor, sagt, dass man wegen der geplanten Verlängerung der Verordnung 2021/1232 („Chatkontrolle“) anruft, fragt nach der Haltung des/der Abgeordneten im LIBE‑Ausschuss, ob er/sie sich gegen massenhafte, verdachtslose Durchleuchtung privater Nachrichten ausspricht und ob es schon eine Fraktionslinie gibt. In einer roten Box die zentrale Bitte: Der/die Abgeordnete soll sich beim Schattenberichterstatter der Fraktion dafür einsetzen, dass die anlasslose Massenüberwachung nicht verlängert wird, weil der aktuelle Entwurf weiterhin Hash‑Scanning privater Chats erlaubt. Danach Argumente: Kinderschutz ist wichtig, aber Fehlalarme und Überlastung der Behörden sprechen gegen Massenscans; auch der Europäische Datenschutzbeauftragte warnt vor allgemeinem Scannen. Am Ende soll um eine kurze Rückmeldung per E‑Mail gebeten werden.

Jede Kachel zeigt Foto, Partei, die Überschrift „Büro Brüssel“ und die Telefonnummer. Grüne Kacheln mit Häkchen markieren Abgeordnete, die klar gegen Chatkontrolle sind; dunkle Kacheln mit rotem Fragezeichen solche, deren Haltung unklar ist und deren Büros laut Aktion angerufen werden sollen.

@Ketakater The MEPs marked with a green checkmark or their group oppose an extension of #ChatControl 1.0 already and don't need calling.

Black campaign graphic titled “STOP CHAT CONTROL – Call your MEP now!”. In the centre a dark box labelled “Phone Script” gives an English script for calling an MEP’s office. It suggests: introduce yourself and country, say you’re calling about the planned extension of the “Chat Control” regulation (2021/1232), and ask for the MEP’s position on the mass scanning of private messages. A red highlight box contains the key request: ask the MEP, via their staff, to contact their group’s shadow rapporteur this week and urge them not to extend indiscriminate mass surveillance, because the current draft still allows mass scanning of private chats of unsuspected citizens (hash‑scanning). The script ends by saying that protecting children is important, but mass surveillance is not the solution, and thanking them. At the bottom is the website fightchatcontrol.eu.

Campaign graphic on a black background with the headline «STOP CHAT CONTROL – Call your MEP now!». Below is a very large grid of portrait tiles showing many Members of the European Parliament from different countries. Each tile includes a name, political affiliation, Brussels office phone number and a phone icon. Some tiles are bright green with a check mark, indicating MEPs who are clearly against Chat Control. Others are dark with a red question mark, meaning their position on mass scanning of private chats is unknown and they are the priority to call. At the bottom centre is the campaign website: fightchatcontrol.eu.

@echo_pbreyer I wrote to Irish MEPs 4 months ago. Only one replied: Maria Walsh, a member of the LIBE Committee. She was strongly in favour of the proposed legislation and accepted the adequacy of controls. My reply:

"The technology for detection of child sexual abuse content can be repurposed for detection of anything a govt wants detected...

I will monitor the votes of Irish MEPs and will donate generously at the next election to the opponents of anyone voting in favour of this legislation."

@echo_pbreyer Reflection: I don't email my MEPs very often, but I've always gotten some sort of response from at least one or two (even if clearly an intern just replying with some boilerplate) - until now. Both of the emails I've sent the last few months regarding Chat Control have had absolutely no responses whatsoever.

I do use ProtonMail, which in some cases could be a sign that there's automatic blackholing, but I use my own domain so it would be a very extreme case if so.

Just a data point, if you hear others with similar experienced.
