End of Chat Control *for now*. This will come back in a few years for sure.

At least the European Parliament is actually representing the people that elected it.
But we need to reform the system – seats proportionally assigned to the population (the current EP is more skewed than the Electoral College) and the MEPs finally getting the right of legislative initiative.
It’s a Parliament, it should act like one.
>“This would require users to provide ID documents or submit to facial scans, effectively making anonymous communication impossible and severely endangering vulnerable groups such as whistleblowers and persecuted individuals.”
Wtf, didn’t EU push for privacy preserving protocol that simply gives signed “yes/no” answer? They even have a public specification. So why are we suddenly back to face scanning?
Protecting children from seeing things is the job of their parents. As long as tech has basic parental controls, that should be enough.
On an EU level, this is good, but it’ll probably always come back to bite…and national parliaments may attempt something like it. Not out of the woods yet.
There are also MEPs+parties that still were for it. There’s a [website](https://howtheyvote.eu) that conveniently keeps track of that.
“Paving the way for genuine child protection’. How? By not scanning for CSAM?
Yay, at least something positive
Fuck Chat Control. Privacy, Digital Rights, and Freedom of Speech won! 🇪🇺
If I was into the very immoral sexual stuff I would be joining the EU parlement. Why? Because they are exempt from it.
The fucking hypocrisy.
German chancellor already said he want to implement it nationally,which is obviously a way to bypass the eu law and hope the various nation will enable it one by one
Great, now what can we do to prevent it from coming back ? How do we expose the ones that voted for it ? And how do we make the general public aware of the threat ?
HOORAY! Hopefully it doesn’t come back
See you in few days, weeks?
inb4 rebranding
Is this including CC 2?
Chat Control officially dead after Parliament thriller vote. Genuine child protection measures now the focus, not end-to-end encryption backdoors. Full breakdown of the vote? Relief or temporary win?
this thing has ended every week for the. past few months
yet it never even existed

See you next month.
It’s absurd this thing can come back again and again and again, and once it does, it can never go away.
I want faces and names, whose are pushing this again and again.
Call me old fashioned but when I read about how satanic cults online pressure children from as low as 8yrs into self harm, sexually abusing themselves and suicide and they spread the pictures on pøaces like Telegram then I wish there was a system in place that caught this immediately. 764 is what I’m referring to.
Who wanted to vote, Russian puppet governments?
Thank fucking God. Or better said, our representatives. I’m sure it’ll rear it’s ugly head again soon, but at least temporarily, we remain free citizens.
How should we help protect kids?
>actively investing epstine files, bring in sex education that is mandatory and gives key info in reporting abuse so kids know what is right and wrong and what to do, better investigate abuse cases, outlaw child marriage and outlaws tools used to press kids under belief defence?
No no to hard just scan everyones phones using a unreliable system that is also open to abuse to blackmail people by insiders by stealing private information
Am I happy this didn’t pass? Yes.
Will it come back again in a different name/way? Yes, we’ve seen how desperate they are to push it through.
Does this mean nothing bad will happen? Probably not: Many EU countries are already mandating under 16s can’t use social media which, regardless how you feel about social media means age verification to prove users are over 16 and Italy followed the UK’s NSFW age verification if I remember correctly.
I would suggest mass surveillance fine. But to keep a level playing field, only if all data collected is made available to everyone, all the time and for free. A requirement like this will severely limit any organizations appetite for data.
The end. Until the next time. Probably during a holiday.
