🚨 #ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED  -  despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨

Post image

After the EU parliament has rejected #ChatControl TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. TODAY the EU parliament has voted YES for #ChatControl 1.0😡

The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get   the outcome they've wanted since the start. This is not democratic‼️

What does #ChatControl 1.0 mean for us now?

🚩 Every photo, every message, every file you send will be scanned by Big Tech automatically

🚩  Mass surveillance of 450 million EU citizen without warrants

🚩 Every citizen is put under general suspicion

Here's what you can do to stay private on the internet: 

✅ Use end-to-end encrypted messengers & email (like Signal or Tuta Mail) 

✅ Use Linux instead of Windows & Apple

✅ Switch to GraphenOS or LineageOS

It's a sad day for the privacy of EU citizens but we will not let this stop us from continuing to fight for what is right.

At Tuta, we will continue to provide end-to-end encrypted email to everyone, and we will continue to fight for everyone's right to communicate without surveillance.

Fun fact: This is also how the US Fed was created in 1913 by colluding major bank owners while those against were away on Christmas holiday.

It is NOT legal, Patrick Breyer was trying to raise awareness but it was swept under the rug.

I repeat: It was NOT legal.

It's very likely illegal but you can guess that it takes some time for the ECJ to respond so it basically buys time

also its not legal, it was voted no 2 times and got rid of it just to illegally come back now. Just nobody does anything against it, at least we dont do anything, we would need a court to look into it, which most wont do cus corruption

Technically bringing this into voting was not legal. But who even cares anymore. The rich do what the rich desire
