Chat Control: The EU's CSEM scanner proposal

🇫🇷 French: Traduction du dossier Chat Control 2.0 🇸🇪 Swedish: Chat Control 2.0🇳🇱 Dutch: Chatcontrole The End of the Privacy of Digital CorrespondenceChat control 2.0 on every SmartphoneThe current proposal Changes proposed by the European Parliament Positions of EU governments

We need to do something against this. The EU plans to apply a law for a chat control in the territory. The approval say that all the chats and the emails would be send to the government to do AI scanning to in fact “find the children abuses”, even when using apps with end-to-end encryption (the EU will ask the services to open their secrets keys… we know that Microsoft, Google and Facebook have already agreed to this. On the other hand Signal for example had said that they would leave the EU if this law will be applied). We need to counter this, because this restrict the privacy and the security of the citizens. Even if you’re not living in the EU, you should take a look because that could encourage others to do the same! Please take a look of the situation and make you your own idea of the case. Find out here the votes results for now, by countries and more… mepwatch.eu

Some others organizations criticized the approval, a open letter/petition was posted here : globalencryption.org

PS : I know that this was posted on the community a bit before (https://lemmy.world/post/16093632) but I think this is really important and the people should know it. That’s a really regrettable decision for the population. thx

    As nobody has mentioned this yet. Vote! On Sunday all Germans vote on their representation in the EU. Vote for the pirate party or another progressive party. Vote out the grandpa’s and grandma’s that want to “protect” their adult children.

        I was considering to vote for Volt, but I fear, that their approach to save the climate might get overrun by other liberal parties. I’m currently considering voting for die Piraten.

            That Approach is great. I also agree with most of their core values, except their approach to taxes. Its also great to have a party that is active in different country’s.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damian_Boeselager

            Handling data, data protection Boeselager wants to advocate that data collected through digital devices should not only be available to the manufacturing companies, but also to the end users. He also advocates using non-personal data as information to improve products and making it available on data marketplaces. This could be particularly useful with regard to improving wind turbines, for example. Based on this, the EU’s Data Act was drafted.

            Transparency Boeselager calls for more transparency in politics. It should be clearly visible whether and how much additional money MPs receive and what they spend public money on. He therefore also calls for EU-wide transparency of lobbying activities.

            Sound ok, but no blog about what happen inside parliament as close or detailed (has blog, but rare post and look like more broad), and his website has large cookie banner (https://damianboeselager.org/en/).

            and on german wikipedia page say got called out may 2024 for not completely transparent on meeting with lobby group.

      Wait, you guys have a pirate party over there? That’s actually really cool

      I wish our parties over here in the states were more interesting like that (also that we have more of them and need a completely different system but that’s besides the point)
