I know there's a general "cause fatigue" with the current state of the world, and I feel it too.

I know there's a general "cause fatigue" with the current state of the world, and I feel it too.
But in my years working in privacy,
I don't think I've seen anything as terrifying as this European Chat Control proposal. And I'm not even European.Everyone needs to pay
much more attention and be much more worried and outraged about this.This proposal is the most dystopian glimpse into a horrible authoritarian future I have seen so far in the West.
It looks dismal, but we can still stop it
if we all work TOGETHER NOW
There isn't much time left though,
so don't put it to next week.Democracy dies in silence.

And please stop thinking you will be able to stay protected, so it doesn't matter.
First, this isn't just about you. Millions of people would still be impacted, including people close to you.
Second, if we do nothing to stop it, you will just end up alone on your now deemed illegal self-hosted Matrix server. And there will be plenty of personal information shared about you by others using the "legal channels" under constant state surveillance.
Being alone using some magical secret tool will not save you. Legality does matter for adoption by the public, and privacy is a communal responsibility. We are in this together, whether you want it or not.
Helping others helps you too.

@Em0nM4stodon And just in case anyone needs to be reminded. The same country that is fighting so hard to push this through is the same that was caught helping the US intelligence agencies spy on European leaders and citizens. No reason not to think that this is just another time they are acting in bad faith on behalf of the US intelligence services.

FWIW there was +50.000 signatures so there HAS to be a discussion in Parliament about it
There is also quite a few politicians across the board that are becoming critical, hard work started to pay off.
We will keep the pressure on!
