CHAT CONTROL IS BACK → Today the urgent procedure for Chat Control 1.0 was passed.

NEXT UP: The EU Parliament is voting on Thursday.

If Chat Control passes: your messages, pictures, videos will all be scanned because the law will require it - this removes privacy and welcomes mass surveillance in the EU.

What's happening?

If Chat Control is passed, it will force client-side scanning - so companies will have to scan the contents of private communications, including encrypted messages and emails, before they are sent.

In March, it was voted against, but it's back and it was pushed through via urgent procedure. This changes the rules of the vote (of course to be in favour of chat control). Shockingly, blocking it now requires absolute  majority 361 out of the Parliament's 720 members, to be rejected.

This is hard to reach because:

‼️ People who do not vote are AUTOMATICALLY VOTED AS YES-VOTE in this procedure.

‼️ This was tactfully done: it's the summer break, this makes it even harder to reach 361 no-votes.

At Tuta, we have been fighting this from the start and we will not backdoor our end-to-end encryption. 🔐❤️

We believe that breaking encryption for everyone is not a solution: It is a surveillance infrastructure that puts journalists, activists, abuse survivors, and citizens at risk.

The main vote is Thursday. Please continue to contact your MEPs & reject to Chat Control: https://t.co/FUHuFlfW3m

Share this post, make some noise, and let's fight for our right to privacy. ✊🏻♥️🇪🇺

Ubisoft CEO is today having an "invitation-only" meeting with the European Commission, hosted by VGE, 2 weeks before the EC planned answer to our ECI.
SKG was not invited.

Thus, we publish an Open Letter, that we invite everyone of you to read it and share it for visibility.

[Oleksandr Chase Car @OlekChaseCar]

I did what 99% of creators think is impossible - I legally defeated YouTube.

How does YouTube react? They're pretending it never happened.

Let me tell you a story that proves the system is designed to crush creators - even when you WIN legal case and the law is on your side 👇

➡️ June 2024: My channel "Chase Car" (20k subs) gets demonetized for "reused content."
I appeal. A HUMAN reviewer checks everything - my editing timeline, voiceovers, scripts.
They email me: "This is original content, you follow all the guidelines." Monetization restored. I'm relieved. A human verified me. I'm safe now.

➡️ November 2024: I wake up to find my entire channel TERMINATED. Same content. Same videos. Different result. Reason: "Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies".

Wait... what? A human JUST cleared me months ago. Since I was verified by a YouTube employee, I knew my content was fine. I was creating EV news/car review videos that the YouTube Team had already accepted. Yet, the AI bot didn't care this time.

I appeal → INSTANT rejection from the AI bot.

Most creators give up here. But as a European Union citizen, I have the opportunity to defend myself as a creator using European Union law. I filed a formal case with ADROIT, an official European Union certified dispute body.

March 2025: Case filed.
July 23, 2025: Decision arrives (attached)

The verdict:
✅ "Complaint is UPHELD"
✅ "YouTube's termination was NOT RIGHTFUL"
✅ "YouTube failed to specify violating content" and my channel should be reinstated.

An independent legal body ruled YouTube was WRONG. The best part? YouTube defended itself during the process but could not show what I had violated. I WON.

Here's where it gets terrifying - My channel is STILL terminated.

I've been emailing YouTube's legal team for 4 MONTHS. Bot replies and complete silence.

I never gave up; I fought fairly for my rights as a creator using the tools I had, and I won fair and square. Yet, they're acting like it never happened and the decision doesn't exist.

Think about that for a moment. Even when you:
➡️ Follow every rule
➡️ Have a YouTube employee confirm that your content follows the policies
➡️ Win an official legal case
➡️ Have a documented decision that your channel should be reinstated
...YouTube's AI system just ignores you, and contacting a human is impossible.

If they can do this to me AFTER I won, what chance does any creator have?

I'm not giving up. I am filing a complaint with the Irish regulator @CNaM_ie to force YouTube to honor the decision.

But I need your help: RT this and tag @TeamYouTube .
Make them respond, so they can't pretend this isn't happening.

Because if they can ignore a legal ruling, no creator is safe.

Thanks to the dedication of developers and publishers, we are launching https://t.co/aJNdgrvsHW.

To raise awareness on censorship in gaming, 13 games are now available for free for 48h as a part of stand for creative freedom and preservation.

We believe that if a game is legal and responsibly made, players should be able to enjoy it today – and decades from now.

It’s our statement: when games are delisted today because of discomfort, reviving them tomorrow becomes exponentially harder.

The site says we have cleared 1 million signatures! I hate being like this, but there's a chance a significant number of them aren't real. That means we have to keep signing in overdrive mode to make up for them! I'll have a video on this later today.

[Accursed Farms @accursedfarms]

It's probably not many, but I've been given a couple reports that there have been claims of non-citizens spoofing signatures on the EU initiative. A reminder this is a government process and that's considered a crime and would probably get reported to Europol or Interpol.

[Accursed Farms @accursedfarms]

We have passed 500k signatures! I didn't enjoy making the last video on the initiative, but it seems like it really removed a roadblock we were having with the momentum. It's anyone's guess how long we can keep it going, but it has more of a chance now.
