The clown show in the UK with regards to the #OnlineSafetyAct and the classification of #Wikipedia gives us a glimpse of our future…

Wikipedia loses challenge against Online Safety Act verification rules

The Wikimedia Foundation says the new rules could threaten user privacy and safety.

@wlaatje Hoe vaak moeten we deze zombie nog afschieten?

En klopt het dat wij elke keer weer ons best moeten doen om dit tegen te houden, terwijl zij maar één keer succes hoeven te hebben om t in de wet verankerd te krijgen?

Kunnen we bij deze poging niet in de wet vastleggen dat dit niet steeds opnieuw geprobeerd mag/kan worden? @erikkemp ?

@OpenTech_AUC @erikkemp

De wederopstanding heeft idd weer plaatsgevonden…

(Zie timeline hoe men ging van: slecht onuitvoerbaar plan…tot 🇩🇰 die dacht: hoe kan ik mijn beurt laten gelden..)

@OpenTech_AUC @wlaatje

We hebben al artikel 13 van de grondwet, maar als experts zeggen dat end-to-end encryptie ook in een wet kan worden vastgelegd ga ik me daar graag voor inzetten!

Artikel 13:
1 Ieder heeft recht op eerbiediging van zijn brief- en telecommunicatiegeheim.
2 Beperking van dit recht is mogelijk in de gevallen bij de wet bepaald met machtiging van de rechter of, in het belang van de nationale veiligheid, door of met machtiging van hen die daartoe bij de wet zijn aangewezen.

@wlaatje amazing tool! This is exactly why I opened my own mastodon. To see things like this. The one who made this. I salute you!
@wlaatje @chatcontrol I sent to all representatives in Sweden. Looks like most were away for the summer

@chatcontrol need a "copy emails" button!

@wlaatje

@jelu @wlaatje thanks for your suggestion. Will add this later today.

@chatcontrol @jelu

Having your shit together (idiom): 1. The rare and majestic state in which a developer can add a fully working feature to a live website in under one hour….without launching into a tragic epic about release cycles, “management partners,” or offering workarounds so convoluted they could qualify as dark magic.
2. The state of effectively directing and managing a situation to achieve desired outcomes.

@wlaatje Somewhat more than 1 minute but yes.
@wlaatje how does this site work? At the end it opened Thunderbird but nothing happened. I guess it was supposed to write an e-mail and add all the representatives as recipients? Won't that get filtered out as spam or something?

@compfu
Correct, in my case it did work as you described with:
- email adress(es) in the to-field
- Subject “Opposition to Chat Control Proposal - Protect Digital Privacy and Rights”
- Body: the template text that was shown in the preview.

Depending on fuzzy parameters like mailfilterscores, ISP, IP-range, amount of recipients, possible earlier spam and content it could end up in a spam folder… advice could be to split it up in more mails if the amount of recipients is very high.

@wlaatje Thank you! Must have been something to do with starting Thunderbird on MacOS. Once Thunderbird was open, the e-mail button worked for me.

@compfu no problem! Thank you should go out to @chatcontrol!

Good for them to know this behavior for Thunderbird on MacOS.

@wlaatje @compfu Thank you for flagging the issues with Thunderbird on MacOS. Will investigate and rectify.
@wlaatje Thank you very much for this!!
Already sent the mail to my MPs, incredible useful tool :D
