Signal strongly opposes the newest #ChatControl proposal in Europe.

Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees.

This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice.

It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

@Mer__edith @echo_pbreyer EU citizens, a timely reminder that you will be able to vote for your member of Parliament in about a week

This problematic law is coming from the Council (the upper house of the EU legislative branch representing the member governments)

It can be stopped by either the Parliament (the lower house of the EU legislative branch, representing the people) or the Commission (the EU executive branch, over whose composition the Parliament has some influence)

MEPs have power

@eob @Mer__edith @echo_pbreyer

There are #EuropeanElections next week. It would be very helpful if somebody could provide a list of positions of each candidate on the proposed legislation.

@mcepl @eob @Mer__edith We managed to convince all groups to support a European Parliament position that excludes #ChatControl and protects encryption. But when it comes to allowing industry to snoop voluntarily (#ChatControl 1.0), Parliament is divided. Check out this vote on it: https://mepwatch.eu/9/vote.html?v=167712
@echo_pbreyer @mcepl @eob @Mer__edith Seems to me that the green party is the way to go!
