Good Idea: Get active against Chat control

IMPORTANT IF YOU LIVE IN THE EU 🇪🇺

A NEW CHATCONTROL VOTE HAS BEEN FORCED FOR TOMORROW, meaning that if this law passes, we are going to see ACTUAL MASS AI SURVEILLANCE FOR MESSAGING eu-wide

yes, this means that NOT ONLY the government could get access to EVERYTHING you say in private, BUT THAT E2E ENCRYPTION MIGHT BE PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY OUTLAWED IN THE PROCESS, MEANING THE COMPLETE DEATH OF PRIVACY

THANKFULLY, we have a weapon: breaking their balls and making them understand this will fuck up everything and THEY will FOREVER be responsible for it

How do you do that? Easy

Go here: https://fightchatcontrol.eu
Find a politician in your country that is approving this surveillance law
And either send them an e-mail at the address reported there

OR !!!

WAY BETTER, AND THIS IS WHAT I AM DOING MYSELF WITH GREAT SUCCESS

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/

SEARCH THEIR PHONE NUMBER HERE AND CALL THEIR SECRETARY
THESE NUMBERS ARE THE MOST UP TO DATE, THEY WORKED 85% OF THE TIME FOR ME

you can make your own point to be passed to your rep, but the basic thing you have to say goes along the lines of:

"Hello, I’m calling about the Chat Control vote.”
“Please vote in favor of amendments 30 and 35.”
"It does not work effectively, as criminals can easily evade detection while false positives mean 2 in 10 innocent people will be accused of crimes they did not commit"
"State actors can exploit the backdoor you are opening to monitor private communications and spy on our industry secrets"
“And vote against any mass scanning of private messages as that is mass surveillance.”

🙏 to our oddly motivational friends

We are living in a period of competing moral certitudes, of people who are awfully sure they’re right and fully prepared to be awful about it. Hence the culture of cancellations, firings, public humiliations and increasingly unforgiving judgments. The role of good journalism should be to lead us out of this dark defile. Last week, we went deeper into it.
