Germany and Poland may say yes to chatcontrol!
Take Action! Send email your politicians now! Links: patrick-breyer.de Permanent Representatives Committee
I will just host a matrix instance. Decentralization is the future.
Also, why don’t they realize that avoiding chat control is soo easy. Unless it isn’t actually meant to prevent crimes
Here is an interesting article on how stupid the chat control is. It’s in German, but probably easy to translate.
I would like to know how these politicians feel about being surveilled 24/7? Because they aren’t excluded.
- Step 1: Lose election
- Step 2: You are now the opposition
- Step 3: New government surveils and harasses you
#LeopardsAteMyFace
The European Ministry whants to exclude themselves and europeans intelligence agencies (europool) from the surveillance. The Ministry is the only instance that’s have talked about excluding.
Looks that way I don’t understand how they are thinking. It is pretty obvious that they dont trust thorn or other lobbyists so they know the risks.
Edited
The “liberal” German coalition is being actively hostile as usual…
Is this something like the online safety bill in the uk?
Is there a template we could use for the email?
Best I can find is here https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#AdditionalInformation
Hmm, that seems like a good start, but sadly pretty broad and incomplete. On the top of my head, I can recall an incident where Google automatically called the cops on a father, because he shared pictures of his child with a doctor. I also recall that in Germany, teachers can get in trouble currently, if they share images their pupils were sharing, with the parents to alert them. Furthermore, a scanner looking for certain triggers can be trivially circumvented by simply encrypting the images before sending them. All of those points seem to be missing from the website, which makes me question of those points I mentioned are really applicable or not.
Yes you are absolutely right. I have talked about this in Swedish with friends and online “debates” that I simple password-protected zip file is all that is needed to bypass the whole idea of chatcontrol. And then you can safely share csam. If real criminals can use this simple trick, who is chatcontrol going to watch and flag for CSAM?
