If you are 🇩🇪 German, you can now call many of your Bundestag members directly via https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ by clicking the "Call" button!
@chatcontrol please PLEASE SEND MORE THAN 1 EMAIL. SEND MORE! FLOD THEM! Get them to listen to us!

@chatcontrol

Also if any of you from Germany plan to phone the Bundestag before the 9th october regarding chatcontrol, I'll also add the email that I used for you to use as a reference what you're going to say and if you want you can also add your own words to argue against it. Try to remain calm while calling the politicians even if the topic might get you worked up and stay defiant in your cause.

Feel free to look around in my profile for more infos and to take action against cc.

@belladonnalily @chatcontrol We should do the same for italian actually, because i have lot of people including myself that struggles to know what to say for every question

@tutupp @chatcontrol

If I get the chance and find something for other countries I will post it here too, keep in mind that my main concern is Germany since I live in here.

The main arguments against chatcontrol boil down to invasion of privacy, AI can be easily abused, no sufficient child protection and so forth. I don’t know about the questions tbh but maybe there are others who had experience with calling politicians via phone so they can give you better informations as to what to expect.

@belladonnalily @chatcontrol Thank you so much, I will be trying to follow some of what you said and compile a list that someone can follow in general.
Maybe the website can update here a draft to help more for the next people calling and visiting fight chat control

@tutupp @chatcontrol

You're welcome :)
I wrote another email today to appeall to the German ministries to not implement chatcontrol (mainly from the CDU and SPD faction). I can't guarantee if they'll answer me or not but it's still better than nothing.

@belladonnalily @chatcontrol
Definetely hahaha
But at least we are fighting for something, I will spend some time too emailing fratelli d'italia and lega for chat control. With uni is a little messy finding time but we are doing our best :)
Oh and I asked a graphic designer to do some flyers with a qr code for chat control

@tutupp @chatcontrol

That sounds cool and do what you can to help fight against this shit proposal. I will take a break for today and we'll see how it develops in general, I do hope that it's going to work in our favour.

@belladonnalily @chatcontrol

Moin, guter Mail Text! Hast du ihn auch als plaintext irgendwo? Und: die Zeit ist knapp, hast du ein Gefühl wo der Hebel am besten anzusetzen wäre, also wen man zuvorderst anschreiben sollte?

@Dusty_Marc @chatcontrol

Hallo Marc,

wenn du den Mailtext meinst, das ist die Standardvorgabe aus fightchatcontrol.eu wenn du Bundestagsmitglieder anschreiben willst. Wenn du mehr wissen willst kannst du gerne Fragen stellen und mein Profil hat auch Infos bezüglich der Chatkontrolle. Ich empfehle dir bei der CDU und SPD viel druck zu machen weil sie im Endeffekt über die Chatkontrolle entscheiden wollen (Entscheidungsgewalt haben die Minister und der dänische Vorstand am 14. Oktober).

@Dusty_Marc @chatcontrol

Hallo nochmal,

unter dem Banner MdEP gibt es auch die Regierungsanstalten, es schadet nicht wenn du die auch unter Druck setzt. Ansonsten, am wichtigsten ist es aufjedenfall alle (Bundestag-)Mitglieder (Abgeordnete sowie Minister) der SPD und CDU unter Druck setzt egal ob per Brief, Telefon oder Email und sie überredest Chatkontrolle abzulehnen.

@belladonnalily @chatcontrol danke für die details. Dann versuche ich es wie üblich bei den MdBs die ich über Bande kenne.
@chatcontrol AfD and Rocco Kever are against chat control. And yes.. It's the.. fascist party but.. eh.. we can agree in some things, at least this one... I guess..

@Null03 @chatcontrol

I also received the mails, the only ones missing are digitalminister Wildberger aswell as the other ministries since they're essential for this proposal to happen or not.

@chatcontrol This is so important. How people would react if we tell them that from now on all the discussions they have, even the most private ones, will be broadcasted openly to whoever would like to listen? #privacy #FightChatControl
@chatcontrol This website is great, are you planning to open-source it?

@chatcontrol Don't forget to mention that Google actually WANTs chatcontrol. They already have the (flawed) blackbox-AI technology, making it mandatory will make it very hard for new services to get started with a competing service. Or they would have to include the Google-blackbox.

@Null03 @chatcontrol If it passes I might even say goodbye to new technologies and open up to old ones
@Kurosetii @chatcontrol I might give up even on the definition of human rights. If this passes, there is no human rights. There's no viability for any of them.
@Null03 @chatcontrol I already got some privacy based apps free to use
@chatcontrol the left, Die Linke is against chat control 🇩🇪. PRESSURE THE CDU!

Here a good video explanation of the Max Plank Institute on how the technology of Chat Control works and what this would mean for digital communication within Europe.

Chatkontrolle stoppen!

Die EU-Kommission will Messenger-Dienste wie WhatsApp und Signal zwingen, alle privaten Nachrichten und Fotos in Echtzeit zu scannen. Angeblich zum Kinderschutz. In Wahrheit bedeutet die Chatkontrolle das Ende von verschlüsselter Kommunikation. Über 700 Wissenschaftler*innen aus der ganzen Welt warnen vor dem Vorschlag [1]. Wir alle verlieren an Sicherheit. Mit der Chatkontrolle gibt es keine vertrauliche Kommunikation mehr. Jede private Nachricht an Freund*innen, jedes Familienfoto, jedes...

Virginijus Sinkevičius. Chat control – kilnūs norai ne visada virsta gerais sprendimais

Žinau, kad šiuo metu gyvename milžiniškame informaciniame pertekliuje – nuo Gazos iki Ukrainos, iki mūsų saugumo, Kinijos ir JAV santykių, mūsų pačių ministrų, negebančių atsakyti kieno Krymas, kas pagrįstai mūsų dėmesį nuolatos traukia į šiuos didžiuosius klausimus. Dėl to mažiau rezonansiniams, bet ypatingai svarbiems klausimams iškyla didelis pavojus likti jūsų dėmesio šešėlyje. Ir manau, kad būtent taip ir yra su vienu ES įstatymu, viešojoje erdvėje geriau žinomu kaip #chatcontrol.
