Prima/Dopo – Portogallo e Italia sono ora a favore di ChatControl; La Finlandia ora si oppone. Ricorda: i politici sono esenti da questa sorveglianza. Invia ORA un’e-mail ai tuoi eurodeputati!

I want to propose implementing ChatControl exclusively for politicians.

Central Europe solidarity 😀

global surveillance is growing even more hooray

SPD in Germany is in favor and wants to do it quickly with CDU

Belgium opposing is a long strech, child focus wants it and are lobbying for it and the minister of internal affairs is also for it. While they reasson for it may seem nobel the law itself is potentially so damegfull to any form of free speech. There is a reasson they need to judges to invade someones privacy so lets keep it that way. Lets for example my friend gets a picture of his son without a tshirt on. Nothing wrong with that, but that gives them a cause to scan all his messages including the one whe sent to each other. So not only his privacy gets invade but also mine and al the rest he texted with.

More-To-Control-Era is coming. It’s natural, relax. It’s temporary, relax.

how is central europe the rational one here but western europe and scandinavia isn’t

Umbelievable and truly Orwellian. As we saw today, democracy in Europe needs apparently to be managed and prevented from running freely.

Welcome. Welcome to City 17.
You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the European Parliament so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call City 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to City 17. It’s safer here.

I’ve read some rumors about the Polish government dropping opposition. I’m glad it was just rumors.

I invite everyone who thinks “I have nothing against my chat being read” to read more about the proposed chat control proposal https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/

In short, we’re not talking about reading your chats, we’re talking about not having secure communication anymore for private citizens except for politicians and police forces, which alone would make me suspicious as fuck, no way our watchdogs don’t need to be watched. But it’s not only that. Csam detection algorithms are very imprecise with a lot of fake positive, this would mean that a lot of resources would have to be employed by police to actually manually check every photo before proceeding, and with the scale of European communications we don’t even know how we would manage that scale of data. 

Last but not least, you can make a technology such as end to end encryption illegal, but you can’t make it unavailable. Imagine making PI or euler’s number illegal. We’re talking about this. Effectively, nothing would prevent people from migrating or creating other different products to manage shady business with. 

In the last months telegram became quite famous for the amount of illegal activities that take place there, and I agree that no moderation at all on big chat applications that allow to interact with unknown people in an indiscriminate way might facilitate some illegal activities, and I do not have a solution for that. But in my opinion, this proposal is not the right way to do it, and it would mean additional cost for something that malicious people would find a workaround in no time (be it legal or illegal, they wouldn’t care) 

We are fucking stupid people
