@EUCommission Parents are responsible for their children's safety, not capitalist companies. So hands off my children!

@EUCommission

Except that isn’t! You are actively assisting big tech with this move.

Asking children and adults to identify themselves online isn't holding big tech companies responsible!

Verifying who everyone is with government ids is not a solution. It’s a massive data breach waiting to happen.

You are enabling much much more harm to children and everyone using the internet by pushing this narrative of verification.

#EUCommission’s malignant tactics exposed:
“The seeming attempt to limit the ability of the co-legislators to make changes to the text also limited the Parliament’s and Council’s democratic right to scrutinise and amend the Commission’s proposal – which seems to have been a key factor in what went wrong.”

Did the EU Parliament really vote not to protect children online? - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

In April 2026, negotiations on the ‘interim ePrivacy derogation’ fell apart, with several stakeholders claiming that the European Parliament stopped the EU from protecting children.

EU negotiations to extend the “Chat Control 1.0” ePrivacy derogation collapsed after Parliament, Council, and Commission failed to agree on privacy safeguards. 🇪🇺
The expired measure had allowed platforms like Meta and Microsoft to scan private messages for CSAM, raising concerns over mass surveillance and legal basis. 🔒

Oggi è il giorno in cui dovremmo festeggiare l'Unione Europea, ma non c'è niente da festeggiare.
Non possiamo festeggiare un organismo che porta avanti alcune politiche dittatoriali e censorie sul web, che vuole abolire l'anonimato online.
Quindi, fintanto che
- si smetterà di pensare a #ChatControl
- non verrà eliminata la verifica dell'età per tutti i cittadini
- si smetterà di parlare di censurare le VPN
Non ci sarà NIENTE da festeggiare

#UnoTech @sicurezza

To all the #Government[s] of the world: You subject us to lofty ideals like #DataLocalization and invasive surveillance like #ChatControl in the pretense of #privacy, #security and #LawEnforcement. Why then do you forcefully enroll us into this crooked global #Surveillance dragnet that's not in either of our interests? That's a betrayal of your entire nation!

We need iron fisted #regulations and heavy monetary #penalties against such #aggressive and #abusive #cabals instead.

@stasdigi #e2ee #vpn #privacy #OpenInternet worden allen bedreigd door #agecontrol #chatcontrol #VpnVerbod. En dat alles, volgens de #eu, ten behoeve van #bigtech en #overheid (#opsporingsdiensten) maatschappelijk functioneren is zonder internet niet meer mogelijk. #1984 ver voorbij (lees of herlees George Orwell). Heeft het woord #vrijheid nog enige serieuze waarde? Tip: laat u de oren niet teveel naar ambtenaren en lobby groepen hangen. BTW #meta zit achter #chatcontrol

Online safety requires privacy and security.

Child safety requires privacy and security.

Weakening encryption, pushing for mass scanning of chats, and targeting VPNs is contrary to digital safety.
