🇪🇺Today, EU working group meeting on #ChatControl took place😐. Result: Germany's position is still pending🤔.
📆 The final vote in the Council is still scheduled for October 14.
⏰ 31 days left to fight for #digitalPrivacy and secure #encryption! https://chatcontrol.eu

@echo_pbreyer what? but germany was opposed, last time I checked. What changed? lobbyists maybe?

@esoteric_programmer @echo_pbreyer I could be wrong but I believe the idea behind it is due to some countries still being undecided and probably because of the MEPS. For certain, I'd like to believe, Germany is opposed to breaking E2EE. Hopefully we advocate more about the opposition of Age Verification methods! Let's not have to send our IDs and things like that to companies we don't know to watch cat videos online..

@Null03 @echo_pbreyer right? these laws are being advanced by fascists or fascist leaning people at any case, and then taken up by people who actually believe what it says on the packaging, so indeed we gotta try our best. If that doesn't work, you know how it is...
If privacy is outlawed,
Only outlaws will have privacy...
So we might as well become outlaws haha

@esoteric_programmer @echo_pbreyer But whatever you do, do not stop sending emails until October 14! It's very important that Germany says no once more.

@Null03 @echo_pbreyer oof, too bad I'm not german. My country is still undecided, probably because generally we have a very low understanding of tech, especially cryptography...O well, we have to keep trying indeed

@esoteric_programmer @echo_pbreyer In the website, you change the language to German and you can send the reply to them. To the German MEPS.
