I've send a letter to the German Representative in the European Union regarding the chat control proposal with reasons why the chat control is a bad thing and that they should vote against it instead of abstaining
Main reasons:
- The chat control breaks encryption and without encryption devices are open to vulnerabilities. Beneath that, sensitive health, financial and other private data could be accessible to bad actors
- The chat control is prone to false positives which can lead to the identification of legal content as illegal which puts citizens in risk of becoming involved in investigations
