TutaWe did it: 🇩🇪Germany will OPPOSE Chat Control! 🥳
Thanks everyone for writing to the ministers. 🫶
#ChatControl will not get a majority in the EU Council - at least for now.
Null03@Tutanota By Alexandra Geese, German MEP: "This success shows that public pressure and a strong civil society work!
But: Our chats will only be safe once the federal government has clearly taken a position and the vote in the Council has been officially scheduled for next week. And one thing is also clear: There will be a next proposal.

"That's why it's worth writing emails and calling members of parliament again to make sure that random chat monitoring really won't happen, now or in the future. The federal government must take a clear and fundamental stance against client-side scanning."

@Tutanota KEEP THE EMAILS AND THE CALLS!
"There are also indications that the vote in the Council on this will be postponed indefinitely.
For a long time, it looked as if Germany, at the urging of the CDU/CSU, would shift to the camp of chat control advocates. But thousands upon thousands of emails from citizens and associations, petitions and phone calls, webinars (like ours last week ), and events have been successful . Thanks to everyone who got involved!"
