📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.
Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities
@Mer__edith It's nothing but the same old surveillance tactics wrapped in a shiny new package. Whether they label it a backdoor, a front door, or disguise it as "upload moderation," this proposal is a direct threat to encryption. The audacity to push this under the false pretense of protecting children is beyond belief. The EU council must not let this pass. Our security and freedoms are at stake, and we must stand against this deception!
@Mer__edith@mastodon.world They know & are hoping to induce "care fatigue"
@Mer__edith And this shit is not going to go away until the institutional actors determined to enact it have been abolished.
It'd be appropriate to abruptly and comprehensively and completely defund whatever EU agencies keep insisting on authoritarian social controls.
