I am so tired of this shit… every year they try to do this shit again. Every year we again have to convince them not too. Then a year later they try again.
They will keep trying until they win. Instead of focusing on important things, they just want to push laws for more control. Even our representatives should KNOW that people don’t want this.
I always wonder that. When we mass call and email to let them know they are wrong on something incredibly obvious. Do they go “oh wow we didn’t know you didn’t want us to know your private conversations or have a list of your favorite porn categories 😲😲😲”? They should already know this.
They do know. They just don’t care. It’s not for you. It’s to empower themselves. Even if it completely compromises/ends all private communications.

Exactly. And that is why i always feel like these “contact your representative” calls are useless. I will still do it, but it will happen. Maybe not now. Maybe not next time they try. But they will get it through.
The last time I contacted a representative they started relentlessly blowing up my phone begging for donations, so I don’t even do that anymore.
Take note that there are lobbies pushing for these. Security state, police and religious fanatics wanting morality policing, also politicians who re afraid of popular upheaval.
Maybe if politicians did what the people wanted, they wouldn’t have to be afraid of an uprising against them… and if religious cunts would just stay in their churches and mind their own business…
The biggest lobby pushing this is companies like Thorn, who promise to provide (I.e. sell) the technology required to comply with such a law. It’s literally just a business investment for them.

The linked petition says:
The European Parliament MPs must vote AGAINST Chat Control legislation during EPlenary vote in June-August 2021.
It’s not even up to date. And it only has 1.8k signatures.
Is there more actual petition?
Not a petition exactly but I found https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
There might be others, I didn’t look that long and I’m not in the EU so idk
Here’s a tool to quickly email you’re representatives about chatcontrol. It’s really easy to use and is generally great! https://fightchatcontrol.eu/#contact-tool
But it’s for EU citizens only right ?
For now
The European Union has begun to cross the border. I think they were inspired by United States and Signal and etc.
Oh so this was the real reason they wanted interconnected chat apps.
