@ansuz @cryptpad I'd consider blatant #Cyberfacism like "#ChatControl" a direct, personal and indefensible assault on not just my personal and inalienable #HumanRights but also the German #Constotution which bans #MassSurveillance or any #WarrantlessWiretapping to the point of the tools to do so being criminalized in the Penal Code!

OFC using #UEFA2024 as a convenient #distraction doesn't make it less evil...

At this point it's just even more insulting cuz in 2006 I had neither the resources nor rights to actively protest against that on my own!

@kkarhan I own a business registered in the EU, but have no voting rights, so it's been particularly frustrating for me.

I've read the complete texts of the proposals and I understand the technical aspects in great depth, and absolutely agree that it's a transparent power-grab by aspirational authoritarians.

The arguments they present are frankly incoherent, but the documents are so long and full of jargon of their own invention that hardly anyone has the capacity to keep up with it.

Of course, all of that seems to be by design. They just want to wear their opponents down, and I must admit they've done a pretty good job of it 😓

@ansuz Personally, I'll not just advocate but intent to inspire maximum non-compliance:

- They'll not get my private keys no matter the circumstances as that would violate my rights to remain silent and to refuse to self-incriminate, and I do expect every individual to do the same.

OFC I don't expect businesses to do so unless they have privilegue like a lawyer or medical professional...

- Just follow through on "Come back with a warrant!" not just on a floormat...

@kkarhan the unfortunate thing is that **they will** come back with a warrant.

I'm confident in my own ability to run software that doesn't work against me, as it's within my ability to write my own if necessary. This legislation will make it unsustainable for small businesses to develop such software, though.

@ansuz Which makes it even more important to emphasize truly #decentralized, #OpenStandards and #SelfCustody of all the keys.

I.e. @monocles with #monoclesMail and #monoclesChat can't provide said access and capabilities nor implement them and if customers/users do follow through on self-custody of all the #Keys the only thing a warrant will get is fully end-to-end encrypted files that they can't decrypt even when held at gunpoint.

- THIS is why @torproject & #TorBrowser are still up and running: The only thing a "Decapitation Strike" would do is start more forks and rally support for the remaining devs...

IMHO the more #cyberfacism they demand the harder I'll demand and enforce my human rights and teach others to do the same!

- And that's how to sabotage said attacks: By making oneself incapable to comply by vortue of beibg truly decentralized!
