Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level." Source: www.bmjv.de/SharedDocs/Z...
This is an important milestone only made possible by all of you actively raising your voices to your MEPs and MPs. THANK YOU! We need to remain vigilant: the Justice and Home Affairs Council is still meeting the 13-14th October. We need to actively monitor the coming days! bsky.app/profile/ecks...
Jens Spahn hat sich gerade zur #Chatkontrolle geäußert: "Wir als CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion sind gegen die anlasslose Kontrolle von Chats. Das wäre so, als würde man vorsorglich mal alle Briefe öffnen und schauen, ob da etwas Verbotenes drin ist. Das geht nicht, das wird es mit uns nicht geben." 1/x
Take action! fightchatcontrol.eu to contact your ministers, permanent representation, MEPs, and, if you are German or Italian, your national MPs!
📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
If you are 🇩🇪 German, you can now call many of your Bundestag members directly via fightchatcontrol.eu by clicking the "Call" button!
🇮🇹 Italy remains UNDECIDED, but is leaning towards SUPPORTING Chat Control despite clear conflicts with constitutional guarantees on privacy and the secrecy of correspondence. If you are Italian, consider contacting your national parliament members via fightchatcontrol.eu !
Peter Hummelgaard, Danish Minister of Justice, remains defiant: "I indisputably believe that surveillance creates an increased sense of security ... and given that the prerequisite for freedom is security, yes, I believe that more surveillance equates to more freedom" Disagree? fightchatcontrol.eu
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal. If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !
Please note that fightchatcontrol.de is a permanent redirection to fightchatcontrol.eu in German with the Bundestag pre-selected for easier sharing. You can still access the Bundestag members via the primary .eu website.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 🇧🇪 Belgium now SUPPORTS the compromise proposal IN PRINCIPLE, despite contradicting promises to citizens: reverts to UNDECIDED. 🇮🇹 Italy is UNDECIDED, expressing doubts on including new CSAM in scope. 🇱🇻 Latvia is UNDECIDED but assesses the text positively, pending national support.
Opposition to Chat Control within Denmark is growing. Fast. If you are a Danish citizen, please consider signing the Chat Control petition: www.borgerforslag.dk/se-og-stoet-... At 50 000 signatures, it is automatically submitted to the parliament.
