@Tutanota 🤦‍♂️ not sure who EVP are, as there is no grouping that uses that short form, you mean EPP? Or PfE? Or ECR? Or ESN?
@aho @Tutanota the EPP, the EVP is the abbreviation on german
@Digol @aho Thanks, our mistake, it's corrected!

@Tutanota The message comes quite late ...

edit: I read 'Tuesday' ... my mistake! So we still have time.

@NatureMC @Tutanota why? The vote is this Thursday
@Digol Sorry, my mistake, I read Tuesday. @Tutanota
@Tutanota Message sent, and this notice boosted.
@Tutanota Conservatives not knowing what "no" means is entirely on brand.
@Tutanota Please, these clownish politicians need to stop messing around—if they’ve already said no, it’s a resounding NO. These damn politicians and bureaucrats have a knack for pissing people off.
@Tutanota I'm pretty sure there's a group of US lobbyists behind this chat control. How interesting that even after voting a stern NO, they still demand another vote. What a clown show.

Mass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.

@paniash @Tutanota Generally speaking, if it's invasive and trying to destroy privacy, you can count on it coming from a US lobbyist, which can in turn be traced back to Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, or any of the other tech megacorps.
@Tutanota Man, those AI and data collection companies really wanna keep doing this. Keep up the fight, EU. You don't want what's happening here in the States!
@Tutanota This is unbelievable. They literally cannot take no for an answer 🙄
@Em0nM4stodon @Tutanota What’s this, conservatives having trouble understanding consent, you say?
@aral @Tutanota Indeed. No surprise, only infinite continuous disappointment 🫠
