      > As reported by digital rights group Netzpolitik, during the meeting held on July 11, the Parliament threatened to block an extension of the current voluntary scanning interim regulation – a temporary law that enables messaging providers to scan their users’ chats if they wish so – unless the Council agrees to mandatory scanning.

      The EU parliament is apparently threatening to ban voluntary mass surveillance unless the EU Council agrees to mandatory encryption backoors through client side scanning.

      **If you live in the EU, please contact your government representatives!**

      If you are from France, Denmark, Ireland, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Portugal, Malta, or Sweden, tell your government to stop supporting Chat Control.

      If you live in Germany, Czechia, Romania, Greece, Estonia, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg, then your leaders haven’t decided whether or not to support it yet. Tell them to reject authoritarianism and vote against Chat Control.

      If you live in Poland, Austria, or the Netherlands, take some time to send a message to your leaders in support of them rejecting Chat Control.

      * If you are unsure of what to say in your messages to your leaders, there are resources here that should help: https://chatcontrol.eu/

      You should also contact the permanent representation of your country with the EU: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/

      * Additionally if you or your company are currently working with the “child protection” company known as ‘[Thorn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(organization))’, you need to drop them immediately. They are one of the main groups lobbying for this.

      This would be the death of the EU. I will start to campaign for leaving the union if it goes through.

      I’ve been fully in support of the EU up until this. Be warned.

      But a majority of the Europeans voted for this, didn’t they? If they had not voted for this, the EU would not be democratic, and that cannot be!!!1!

      I was pro EU but with all this anti privacy nonsense and bending over for american cock i’d rather my country stay out and stay a oh so evil “neutral country”

      Has a Citizen’s Initiative been started against this?

      I dont know about all of you but I will just start client-side encrypting

      And the worst thing about this – when Euro-skeptics (who are quite numerous in my country) use this as an argument, it’s really hard arguing against that. We fended off this 1984 BS so many times already and it still keeps coming. They can keep pushing it forever, but we only get to lose once and it’s over. The injustice of this is staggering and it feels hopeless.

      I organized contacting of politicians and MEPs the last two times this came up and I will be doing it again this time. But I’m losing hope and motivation.

      Also, if you haven’t check out [Patrick Breyer’s blog](https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/). He does excellent coverage of this topic and he’s one of the reasons why we even know and talk about this at all.

      >The Danish version of the so-called Chat Control could be adopted as early as October 14, 2025

      It won’t be in force for at least another 2 years. And that’s assuming it won’t be pushed back or shot down by the courts.

      >As reported by digital rights group Netzpolitik, during the meeting held on July 11, the Parliament threatened to block an extension of the current voluntary scanning interim regulation – a temporary law that enables messaging providers to scan their users’ chats if they wish so – unless the Council agrees to mandatory scanning.

      >”This political blackmail forces a bad choice and contradicts the Parliament’s own stated position against mass scanning,” former MEP for the German Pirate Party, Patrick Breyer, told TechRadar.

      I’m genuinely curious to know what happened here. The bill that the parliament approved was very different from what the Commission wanted. Literally only 2 people voted against it. We had elections in the middle of all this, but this is an insane 180 if true. It’s also hard to believe that this is the position of LIBE. Once the Council approves their version (if they do), LIBE and the Council will have to come to an aggrement and present a final version to the parliament. And even then, I don’t think that the parliament will approve mandatory scanning. I’m genuinely curious as to who supposedly said this to the Council.

      And threatening to ban voluntary scanning in order to adopt mandatory scanning makes no sense. The parliament defends exactly voluntary scanning for Chat Control.
