Wow.

[Paul Walsh @Paul__Walsh]

Ursula von der Leyen has confirmed that everyone in the EU will need to use the EU's app for identity authentication before being able to access or post on social media websites.

🇪🇺 As an expert in online child safety, I am here to expose the misinformation and misdirection in von der Leyen's statements.

Today von der Leyen said:

"This is not about whether children can access social media, it is about whether social media can access our children".

💡The first part is true. This isn't about children. It's about surveillance and combating political dissent. A state that can't control its own citizens is more dangerous than a state rife with criminals. The second part is a PR soundbite that politicians are using like a campaign slogan straight out of 1984.

🇪🇺"The question is no longer if children face risks online, but what can we do to give children a safer start online".

💡No. You can't give children a "safer start" online any more than you can offline. In the offline world, the government doesn't enforce curfews or ban children from entering liquor stores, bars or restaurants. That's a parent's responsibility. The digital world should be no different.

🇪🇺"The age verification app is one of the tools to get it done".

💡This is a contradiction because she also said "It won't be foolproof".

🇪🇺"It's easy to use, it is privacy preserving and it is open source".

💡The app was compromised as soon as it was released. "Privacy-preserving" age verification is an oxymoron. You can't verify a person's age without verifying their identity. Where or how that age is shared afterwards is irrelevant.

🇪🇺"This is basically about putting back the power into the hands of parents".

💡More from 1984. The EU is doing the opposite. Parents are having their authority stripped by politicians who think they know better. Many parents are capable and unaffected by peer pressure, and they know how to use parental controls to block any app classified as 13+. Some teens are safe, their parents trust them, and the state has no business overruling that trust.

🇪🇺"We don't give our children keys to the car before they have their licence"

💡Comparing an app to a car is a false equivalence used to justify mass surveillance. Governments don't decide when a young person is ready for car keys, guardians do.

💡Forcing every adult and child into a biometric checkpoint just to use an app or website is not licensing drivers. It's the state seizing everyone's keys, locking the garage, and forcing every driver to ask a private company for permission to take a drive.

💡 This is a gross, unethical overreach that strips authority from parents while imposing state sanctioned identity verification on every adult who doesn't even have a child.

💡Additionally, people who pass a test, obtain a licence and drive a car aren't forced to use an app to constantly authenticate their suitability to drive.

🇪🇺"We do not let them buy alcohol until they are legally allowed"

💡False equivalence. We don't force every person to show ID at a shopping mall entrance just because a few people might buy alcohol with a meal at a restaurant. Some parents are okay with their 12 year-old going to the mall with friends while others aren't. Either way, it's their choice. Whatever irresponsible decisions some parents might make, every adult in the country shouldn't be forced to pay the price.

🇪🇺"It won't be foolproof"

💡This is all the proof we need to show that the EU and every government know that banning social media for teens won't protect them. When pressed by journalists about VPNs being used to circumvent a ban, politicians always state the ban isn't a silver bullet and will take time. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan went as far as to say "we know it's not the solution".

💡Either age verification works, or it doesn't. As a technical expert in this space, I can tell you there are no additional steps to take and no progress to be made. Either the approach does what it is supposed to do, or it's not fit for purpose. If they claim a bulletproof solution is coming, it can only mean one thing. They intend to ban or restrict VPNs to people who verify their identity.

🇪🇺"It will take time to invite the cultural change that is already taking shape in our society, just as it took time to outlaw drink driving, just as it took time to use seatbelts in the cars. Great change never happens overnight, but when it comes to our safety it is always worth it".

💡Comparing a social media ban and age verification to seatbelts is a completely broken analogy. Seatbelts are a safety feature that protects children while allowing them to travel in a car. A ban doesn't give kids a seatbelt. It kicks them out of the car entirely.

💡Instead of supporting parents who want to guide their own children through the digital world, this heavy-handed law strips away parental authority by banning the apps and websites that many parents are perfectly fine with and actively monitor.

💡Furthermore, enforcing these bans requires biometric age verification, which means forcing millions of adult citizens to scan their IDs, faces or credit cards just to browse the internet. That isn't a common-sense traffic law.

💡It's a digital checkpoint on every street. True safety means teaching kids how to navigate the digital world safely with real guardrails and parental guidance, not burning down digital spaces for everyone under the guise of protection.

🇪🇺☠️ The EU wants to ban teens from social media so every person is forced to verify their identity before they can read, share or post anything online. In their words, this is to protect children from dangerous content.

🇪🇺☠️ The EU wants to enforce "Chat Control" so every app has to monitor everything people say privately inside it, including apps with end-to-end encryption. In their words, this is to protect children from dangerous criminals.

💡Where this ends

🇪🇺 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever".

George Orwell, 1984.

When the soundtrack and the video are in perfect sync 🤌

[DIE LIBERTÄREN @Die_Libertaeren]

In aller Stille hat der Bundestag vor zwei Tagen erweiterte Befugnisse für die Bundespolizei beschlossen. Diese beinhalten u.a. die Erlaubnis zur Verwendung von Staatstrojanern und die Erlaubnis zur Gesichtsscannung. Das Gesetz wurde ebenso wie die Chatkontrolle im EU-Parlament ohne große mediale Aufmerksamkeit kurz vor der Sommerpause beschlossen. Der Bundesrat muss dem noch zustimmen.

[PeterSweden @PeterSweden7]

IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THINK.

So the EU just approved Chat Control 1.0

Despite a MAJORITY of the elected politicians voting AGAINST it.

314 voted no.
276 voted yes.

Because this vote was forced just before summer vacation, many politicians weren't there to vote.

And without an absolute majority of 361 no votes, the chat control passed by default.

And guess what?

The EU parliament already voted NO to this in March.

Yet another vote was forced now just before summer vacation and this time it passed because not enough MEPs was there to vote no this time.

This doesn't sound democratic.

[Vincent Vandeputte @VincentVandep8]

De manier waarop Chat Control er –als een dief in de nacht– is doorgeduwd, is werkelijk schandalig en een democratie totaal onwaardig.

Ter herinnering: het Europees Parlement had dit dossier eerder al twee keer eerder tegengehouden.

Deze week werd vervolgens een procedurele kunstgreep bovengehaald: een zogenaamde spoedprocedure waarbij een gewone meerderheid van de aanwezige parlementsleden niet volstond (?) om die tegen te houden, maar een absolute meerderheid van ALLE Europarlementsleden nodig was.
Maar velen waren al op verlof vertrokken natuurlijk…

En dus stemde een meerderheid van de aanwezige Europarlementsleden opnieuw tégen.

—> Maar omdat de uitzonderlijk hoge drempel niet werd gehaald, werd de spoedprocedure toch goedgekeurd en kon Chat Control alsnog versneld worden doorgeduwd.

Als een aanwezige meerderheid tegen stemt, maar die meerderheid door een procedurele truc niet volstaat om het voorstel tegen te houden, dan is het moeilijk nog ernstig te nemen wanneer Europa zichzelf een toonbeeld van democratie noemt.

[Jon De Lorraine @jon_delorraine]

🔴🇪🇺 FLASH - Ursula Von der Leyen confirme bien qu'il y aura une application européenne pour l'authentification sur les réseaux sociaux.
L'union européenne va donc avoir accès aux cartes d'identités de tous les européens qui vont devoir les présenter pour se connecter sur les réseaux sociaux.
Von der Leyen indique que pour cette application, "c'est facile à utiliser" et que "cela protège la vie privée'.
Elle indique qu'il faut comme un permis pour les enfants pour se connecter aux réseaux sociaux.
Une loi sera proposée après les vacances d'été.

In was für ein Europa wollen wir leben? - Ohne Privatsphäre? Mit anlassloser Massenüberwachung? Staatlich kontrollierte Pseudo-Freiheit?

Mit der #Chatkontrolle stirbt die digitale Gedankenfreiheit.

Wenn 🇩🇪 dem in wenigen Tagen zu stimmt, weiß man, wo diese Regierung wohl auch hinsteuern möchte. Muss man so klar sagen.

[Steinhoefel @Steinhoefel]

Digitale Briefzensur 2.0 - anlasslose Massenüberwachung - Bürger unter Generalverdacht: Das Chat-Kontrollgesetz der EU würde jede digitale Nachricht vor der Verschlüsselung durchsuchen. Ein Eingriff in die Privatsphäre, als gäbe es eine richterliche Abhörerlaubnis. Am 13. Oktober stimmen die EU-Justizminister über diesen Albtraum ab.

[SMSPool.net @smspoolnet]

We stand with @signalapp and all who defend digital rights. Germany’s 🇩🇪 leadership on privacy has been crucial now is not the time to waver. The right to private communication isn’t negotiable.

CHAT-KONTROLLE! Nur noch 10 Tage Zeit!

Justizministerin Stefanie Hubig SCHWEIGT!
Innenminister Dobrindt SCHWEIGT!
Digitalminister Wildberger SCHWEIGT!
Wenn Deutschland im EU-RAT zustimmt, dann wird Signal und wahrscheinlich auch Andere aus der EU verschwinden. Und dann werden ALLE Nachrichten, Videos und Bilder, die wir per Messenger-Diensten senden nicht mehr sicher sein vor Staatlicher Kontrolle und Hackern etc. Warum setzt Deutschland nicht JETZT ein klares Zeichen und sagt: NEIN ZUR CHATKONTROLLE!?????

🇩🇪EU-Kommission zur #Chatkontrolle: "Wir scannen ja nur wie Spamfilter auch, verschlüsselt wird trotzdem." Trojanisches Pferd! 🐴 Das ist, als würde man eure Post lesen, bevor sie in den Briefkasten kommt!
