#ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨
After the EU parliament has rejected it TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start.
This is not democratic‼️

@Tutanota
Just like everything in IT you have a choice:
"Not now / maybe later" or "YES for ever"
My chat is now not safe for communication,
with the government, switch back to letter's.
@Tutanota let us remember this when we try to point to anti democratic behavior as an American problem. It is not. All over Europe we've been seeing serious fracturing of democracy in the past years, and this is a particularly brazen example. Pointing to US authoritarian behavior is just a way for European politicians to distract from their own. They just come in different flavors.
@Tutanota Can't there just be another vote again to repeal it? I mean, if the same subject can be brought to the table many times....
@Tutanota aha the good old EU vote until you get it right tactic. Haven’t seen that for a little while now.
@Tutanota
Es wird solange gewählt, bis das Ergebnis passt. Alter deutscher Politikstil...🤷
The problem is when both the money and the government want something -- it will happen.
@Tutanota true colors. Ok then, reason to go for technoanarchy even harder.
@Tutanota shaking hands with a man whose algorithms have been deliberately tuned to ensnare children, and reviving chat control which isn't about protecting children, it's about giving a company like say 'Meta' the keys to age verification and mass surveillance of every single person in the EU, except those in positions of power who get to anonymity. Smells of corruption, the EU is starting to stink of hypocrisy
@Tutanota The problem with Democracy is that it doesn't pay as well as the Oligarchs do.
They just need to find the level of monitary "free speech", that gets their bills passed. Sometimes that takes a few attempts.
After all, Capitalism is not democratic in any way. And extreme wealth inequality will only guarantee an end to democracy.
Winner takes all.
@Tutanota This is the greatest mistake ever. This is creating a permanent security hole in all devices. It will be hacked in weeks, and it won’t catch the paedophiles. 😰😰
@Tutanota: Warum nur muss ich jetzt an #DieKänguruChroniken von @marcuwekling denken…
"Oder wir machen es wie die #EU und stimmen so lange ab, bis uns das Ergebnis passt."
Irgendwie ist dieses Zitat wohl zeitlos… 🤮
@Tutanota Seems like there is a history between Metsola and Zuckerberg.
@Tutanota The #Cyberfascists need to be jailed!
I'll never forgive nor forget this betrayal to you, @europarl_en !
- And I will actively sabotage this #cyberfascist shitshow by any means necessary!
How people interpret this ain't my problem...
- I merely exercise my inalienable #HumanRights to #privacy!!!
@Tutanota #RobertaMetsola, a conservative catholic, loaded, with a lobbyist husband, sucking up to weird billionaire tech bros who've been financing the white supremacist regime in the WH, is just another asshole to be boycotted!
All ultra-conservative religious fools have the same rapist vibe, forcing their will on others—whom they deem inferior—who clearly and repeatedly have said NO.
It sounds like the European Union has invented a new system which is called "Reverse Democracy". That is where the government does the exact opposite of the will of the people.
@Tutanota i hate roberta masturbatola for touching atoms with mark zuckerberg
a match made in hell
@Tutanota Under the pretext of protecting children online (which should be solely the responsibility of their parents), they finally have a tool for spying on citizens who are a thorn in the government's side.
@Tutanota Trump and Bibi comand, EU obbey
@Tutanota Under the pretext of protecting children online (which should be solely the responsibility of their parents), they finally have a tool for commercial and industrial espionage.
That man has enough money to end world hunger, but he would rather prey on children for more profit. He should be taxed. The EU just fined Zuck $1.4 trillion. I took that as a good sign. But this? This is very very bad. He pushes authoritarian algorithms. There's no oversight. He just does what he wants and then pays fines. He destroys democracies. He was at Trump's inauguration. He's a fascist!!!!!!!
@Tutanota Real sorry to see the fascist infection is apparently fully west European in derivation; but have to admit, it is unsurprising. May the head of the snake be fully severed this time around this mess. It will clearly be the long-way around and may that serve a memorable lesson as well.
/US-ian unhappily witnessing all now wonders just who gets that $1.4T, eh?
🪔🖖💎🩵📣
@Tutanota Is this why I got email from Reddit a few weeks ago that they were "complying with "EU law" by demanding age verification from certain accounts, when no EU law like that existed? Or was Reddit just up to their bullshit?
@Tutanota can someone explain what #chatcontrol is?
so am i getting this 2 points right?
- Chatcontrol 1.0 never had a vote in parliement where a majority of MEP (the democratically elected representants of the EU population) voted in favor
- It was then pushed in a way that unless an ABSOLUTE majority of MEP voted against it would become law
because if that's right that shows a structural problem in the EU even bigger than Chatcontrol itself: the idea that laws can be made by bypassing the democratic process
@Tutanota What a joke. European “democracy” at its finest: just push your agenda until they eventually accept it (and not even that, since a relative majority voted against, just not an absolute one).
And yet they’ll pull a shocked Pikachu face when they see Euroscepticism is on the rise. Because that’s what will happen if you push away your remaining supportes with these anti-democratic measures.
@Tutanota Can we do a referendum to kick Mertsola and Ursula out of the #EU ?
How can something be voted against for 2 times, and now without having most of the votes pass?
People focusing on leaving Big Tech and #buyFromEU and this assholes just keep selling us to Zuckerberg and friends.
@Tutanota who would ever tought giving the control of SW and HW to a small group of companies would finish this way?
@Tutanota a party/MEP list sorted by country would be nice
@Tutanota
How can it pass without a majority??
@Tutanota Can they be sued?
@Tutanota Bitch shakes hands with a cunt. I'll let you decide which is which.
Campaign to leave the EU
@Tutanota Isn't that a blatant conflict of interest?
@Tutanota Roberta Metsola is a fascist pig
@Tutanota the photo says it all. Fucking plebs.
@Tutanota This authoritarian EU bears no resemblance to its founding vision. As an EU citizen, I can only view the perversity of these corrupt policies with alarm and draw my own conclusions. "Chat Control 2.0" will likely become reality sooner than we fear.
We must fight even harder and stand united against this corruption.
@Tutanota Europe's democracy is dead.
@Tutanota power is with the people. We just need to guts to exercise it; wherever it may lead.
Even if it means going of line completely
@Tutanota Is there anything those outside the EU can do?
@Tutanota So now what? What to avoid? Will #ChatControl be in apps? Or in the OS?
@Tutanota I suppose the table full of pervert glasses in the picture is just the cherry on top. 
@Tutanota 314 for and 276 against is not a majority voting against it or did I understand it wrong ?
It was 314 against, 276 in favour.
