Fatemi capire, Sergio Mattarella dovrebbe concedere la grazia a questo invasato?

The EU just passed Chat Control today. Here's what it is, what happened, and why 2.0 is the one that actually matters.

What is Chat Control?
a regulation that lets online platforms scan private messages for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Framed as child protection. critics call it mass surveillance infrastructure because a system built to scan for one type of content can scan for anything.

the timeline:
→ March 2026: EU Parliament voted to let Chat Control expire. 307-306. one vote.
→ April 3: the law expired. legal basis for scanning gone.
→ July 2: EU Council repackaged the same proposal and brought it back
→ July 7: Parliament fast-tracked it using a rarely-used emergency procedure 331 to 304
→ July 9 (today): passed. extended to April 2028.

the procedural trick:
by using the second-reading procedure, the Council forced Parliament into an impossible position — to block it, they'd need 361 votes, an absolute majority of all MEPs, not just those present. timed for the last session before summer recess. the EU's own Legal Service had already said the proposal violates the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. didn't matter.

what it actually scans:
Instagram DMs, Discord, Snapchat, Xbox messaging, Gmail, iCloud Mail. End-to-end encrypted apps like Signal and WhatsApp are not directly affected; voluntary scanning can't work on messages platforms can't read. yet.

YET:
Chat Control 2.0, the permanent version, is still in negotiation. it would:
→ require mandatory scanning, not voluntary
→ target encrypted messages directly
→ allow detection orders without a court order or reasonable suspicion
→ include mandatory age verification across messaging platforms

if 2.0 passes in its current form, end-to-end encryption in the EU is functionally over.

the global implication:
when the EU creates legal infrastructure for scanning private messages, authoritarian governments use it as a template. and any backdoor built for Brussels is technically a backdoor for anyone who can access the same system.

My brain can’t comprehend how a monkey and a penguin get more attention than an actual human baby, starving in the middle of a genocide. People in Gaza deserve to live too. No child deserves to be starved to death or shot in the head.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is.
This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple.
April 8. Never forget.
