Will the Council and Commission be ready to follow suit?

Gisteren ging het Europees Parlement akkoord met een verlenging van de wettelijke uitzondering die onlineplatforms toestaat om content zoals chatconversaties te controleren op kindermisbruikmateriaal. Maar massasurveillance is niet toegestaan, met dank aan een amendement van de Piratenpartij uit Tsjechië.

EU-Parlement beperkt voorstel voor chatcontrole na amendement

Afgelopen woensdag ging het Europees Parlement akkoord met een verlenging van de wettelijke uitzondering die onlineplatforms toestaat om content zoals chatconversaties te controleren op kindermisbruikmateriaal. Maar massasurveillance is niet toegestaan, met dank aan een amendement van de Piratenpartij uit Tsjechië.

EU votes to end untargeted mass scanning of private chats. This is a big win today but we still have so far to go. Big up to the Greens in EU Parliament getting behind this. #chatcontrol #stopchatcontrol https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/historic-chat-control-vote-in-the-eu-parliament-meps-vote-to-end-untargeted-mass-scanning-of-private-chats/
Historic Chat Control Vote in the EU Parliament: MEPs Vote to End Untargeted Mass Scanning of Private Chats

In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.

Patrick Breyer
The only proof we need that our security and privacy tools work is the push for age verification and registered developers. The push for these laws and policies are nothing more than blatant attempts to turn every single hoster, developer, moderator, etc... into criminals for not making users easy to spy on by states or have data harvested from by corporations. It is also an attempt to deflect liability away from abuses on corporate platforms.
But the assholes pushing this shit forget something, the same people they are targeting hold up the entire internet. Go ahead and keep calling your politicians, but I think it is time to go further.
Sabotage.
Your labour and projects are yours. Your skills and abilities are yours. The same people threatening you rely on your projects. I propose we threaten back. Not only refuse to comply, but threaten to sabotage projects to prevent the people threatening you from using them.
The FLOSS world belongs to the people not the politicians or capitalists. They have no right to tell us what we shall must do. When they forget this we remind them with fire. This is a call for a #CyberRiot to remind them. Start with injecting warnings that they are forced to see, but have actions ready.
