Fight Chat Control

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.”

Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.

Thank you all for raising your voices!

@chatcontrol If this law is this weakened, then why push it anymore?

@dasmatus they're presumably trying to make it permanent because it's currently regulated by the interim regulation that's about to expire

@chatcontrol Haven't thought of it earlier, but being a Minister of Justice now really has earned a dystopian comic book villain status, isn't it? Or maybe it always has been and real life caught up with it.

Former Dutch Minister of Justice Yesilgoz is evil and a liar and has gone full fascist. Peter Hummelgaard is no better.

@chatcontrol a small win in my book. they could give it another name and argue differently for the same endgoal.

@chatcontrol Phew, glad that they backed down. Sure, it may pop up again and big corpos can scan stuff. But I'm really glad that mandatory scanning won't be enforced.

I say that, for now, let's celebrate!

@chatcontrol I fear that is not enough.
They always take a step back before leaping forward again.
if scanning isn't mandatory it's still allowed and that alone is a terrible thing. Future proposal could help enforce it in practice.
The only true victory would be a total drop of the proposal.
