The government should not have access to all the messages or photos you send. Period.
Scanning all messages, photos and files, without consent or even suspicion is a major breach of our right to privacy and a huge security threat. Nevertheless, the European lawmakers are still pushing through with the so-called Chat Control legislation. Under the pretence that it would protect kids from online abuse, all checks and balances for the protection of our privacy are dismantled. And scientists already concluded that Chat Control will not work.
It is time to come together and stop Chat Control. In a time where autocratic regimes all over the world threaten our freedom to communicate we need to increase our privacy protection, not lower our guards.
