Signal strongly opposes the newest #ChatControl proposal in Europe.

Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees.

This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice.

It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

With Commissioner Johanssons recent statement I kinda feel the need to tap the sign again.

Also not here for her trying to insinuate that we are all unhinged, shadily funded sexists.

This law won't protect the children. What it will do is break encryption to directly surveill EU citizens.

It will mean your private messages will be available to the "bad guys".

The #CSAM clusterfuck just became even more shitty:

Dutch researcher Danny Mekić has looked at #advertising data from #Twitter & says that the @EU_Commission's #DGHome has used #SurveillanceAds based on prohibited data categories to target people with #disinformation about the #ChatControl proposal.

#YlvaJohansson's department specifically targeted people in member states that had been critical of her proposal but excluded people who are likely to value #privacy.

Who would have thought the #chatcontrol proposal is being pushed for by the AI industry? Great investigative piece into the lobbying effort to break encryption and to roll out unprecedented surveillance of private communications in the name of protecting children. https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the-eus-fight-over-scanning-for-child-sex-content/

⚡️ BREAKING ⚡️ Today's vote on #chatcontrol has been postponed a second time!

EU countries can't find a compromise for chat control - and the EU Parliament is not even involved, yet.

This is a great sign that #chatcontrol - one of the most criticized EU laws ever - will fail.

Turns out that the whole "protect children online" alliance is basically an AI startup, Europol and a funder-investor in a trench coat. Thanks for trying to destroy the internet, you raccoons.

This afternoon, Members of the European Parliament in the 'civil liberties' committee will have a chance to scrutinise EU Home Affairs Commissioner Johansson about alleged conflicts of interest and illegal advertising in relation to the #CSAR aka #ChatControl bill.

This is incredibly important not just for the CSA Reg, but also broader questions about EU democracy, rule of law, and whether or not lawmakers will accept attempts to influence and even undermine the legislative process... 🧵

EU citizens, your vote for the European Parliament election matters much more than you might think.

From #ChatControl and #EUGoingDark all the way down to #ClimateCrisis: Some important decisions are due.

We noticed populist right-wing forces co-opting "open-source" by "supporting its adoption".

However, they stand for isolationism (hidden behind "tech sovereignty"), and against international collaboration, openness and transparency; which are what makes #FreeSoftware awesome.

Choose wisely!

1/3 New "solution" from the @eu2024be on #ChatControl fails #HumanRights on all counts!

We're looking at:
🔸Forced consent
🔸Mass scanning of private messages
🔸Undermining encryption
🔸Punishing privacy-enhancing services & rewarding those that violate people’s privacy

This is wild: The #Chatcontrol #CSAM proposal, "the most criticised EU law touching on tech in the last decade, is the product of the #lobby of private corporations and law enforcement."

Commissioner #YlvaJohansson "ignored academia and civil society" while "she shook hands with #BigTech to (...) legalise mass #surveillance and break #encryption," said @edri's @DiegoNaranjo.
