It is not finally decided in Germany!

"Was das für die bis morgen erwartete Einigung der Bundesregierung bedeutet, ist noch unklar. Ein Sprecher des Bundesinnenministeriums sagte gegenüber netzpolitik.org, die Abstimmung innerhalb der Bundesregierung über eine Positionierung zum aktuellen Verordnungsentwurf sei noch nicht abgeschlossen."

EU-Überwachungspläne: Unionsfraktion jetzt gegen Chatkontrolle, Innenministerium will sich nicht äußern

Überraschend kündigte am Dienstagnachmittag der Fraktionsvorsitzende der CDU/CSU an, dass es eine anlasslose Kontrolle von Chats mit der Union nicht geben würde. Das Innenministerium sagt, die Abstimmung sei noch nicht abgeschlossen.

Citizen Protest Halts Chat Control; Breyer Celebrates Major Victory for Digital Privacy

In a major breakthrough for the digital rights movement, the German government has refused to back the EU's controversial Chat Control regulation today after facing massive public pressure. This blocks the required majority in the EU Council, derailing the plan to pass the surveillance law next week

@echo_pbreyer And there we see that we as a society *do* have the power to make the difference!

@winkelmesser I'd like to get to a more concrete plan of action. For one thing, I would like to exact a toll on political actors who work to bring about this kind of legislation.

We need to end Peter Hummelgaard's political career, and it should be common knowledge that his career ended because he tried to destroy privacy.

Thorn should become politically toxic.

Threatening privacy should be political suicide.

Show threadNooneOct 7

@jozeldenrust @winkelmesser @echo_pbreyer We need to build up a european community to educate people (of every gender, age and political spectrum that opposes this) and we need to build it now. We should go and educate in universities, schools and public places about the right of privacy

History teaches that our fundemental human rights are not inviolable if we don't protect them every day

Does anyone have a good explanation for the geographical pattern? There is a green block in central Europe and a red block in the west. Or another good explanation why countries lean this way? Would be useful for next time. #ChatControl #EU

@j_j @echo_pbreyer

Off the top of my mind, the green block are countries where the tech sector is more prominent. People have higher digital literacy, so maybe they are more involved & willing to speak up (whether they're politicians or citizens pestering them!)

@echo_pbreyer We have to go on fighting. If we stop the chat control will come up again and again. From my point of view it’s still not a stable decision. We have to finally hunt down this topic. Therefore it’s necessary to make other major countries (Spain, France, Sweden) changing their voting to no.

What's interesting about this map is how closely the "yes" members correlate to a list of countries that have lost their living memory of being ruled by authoritarian regimes or already surrendered themselves to authoritarianism once again.
