Chat Control 1 is dead. Let’s end Chat Control 2.

Members of The European Parliament: stand firm in your position – no mass surveillance whatsoever!

And then?

And then, in 2026 the final negotiations began, between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU. At the same time, the European Commission is working on a Plan B, through the initiative Going Dark/ProtectEU, where they once again try to force total surveillance (this time organized crime is the excuse) on the citizens of the EU.

Today, the final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0 begin.

We hope the European Parliament stands firm against any wording that paves the way for mass surveillance and censorship. Cyprus, currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU, aims to conclude the negotiations by June.

Chat Control & Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU.

After Snowden’s whistleblowing in 2013, large parts of the internet became encrypted, enabling private and secure communication. Not everyone has welcomed this change. Most notably, the FBI and other U.S. government agencies have fought what is often called the “crypto wars”, the war on encryption. In recent years, they have been joined by the European Commission. Under the slogan “what about the children,” they try to introduce total mass surveillance of all EU citizens — first through the proposed Chat Control legislation, and later via the Going Dark and ProtectEU initiatives. The goal is to legally mandate spy tools on every European smartphone and computer. The forces behind these efforts have turned out to be American tech companies and intelligence agencies.

The United Kingdom is escalating its censorship and mass surveillance. When Mullvad tried to criticise this with the TV ad “And Then?”, it was banned on British television.

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.

A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

Late last year X41 D‑Sec GmbH performed a white‑box source‑code audit of the Mullvad payment and account API and its supporting backend services.

Have a great 2026, dear Endeavournauts!

Our best wishes and yearly retrospect are a bit later than you’re used to. To be honest, my inspiration to write this piece was in a land far, far away. But somehow, on the last day of 2025, my brain suddenly opened the creative tap wide open. So, here it is. Me having lack of inspiration and suddenly getting ignited at the last moment kind of sums up this year for the entire project. 2025 wasn’t our most shining year in terms of releases, server outages and major upstream issues. Of course...
