The European Parliament voted AGAINST Chat Control. 314 to 276.
And it passed anyway.
Let me tell you how: they needed 361 votes to say no. On the last day before vacation. Every empty seat counted as a yes.
They lost the vote. They won the law.
That’s not democracy. That’s a trick. #ChatControl
mass surveillance is coming
> first 5 votes fail
> have another vote
> invoke technicality to require majority to vote AGAINST rather than requiring majority to vote FOR
> do it when everyone's on vacation so not enough numbers to vote against
demonic creatures
EU friends, read closely and retweet aggressively.
Chat Control will mean scanning of private messages and a complete destruction of your privacy as a citizen.
You don't need to be a tech expert to protect yourself. Here's a setup and instructions that will that help a lot in retaining your privacy:
Step 1: Buy a phone from outside the EU.
This is absolutely non-negotiable and the foundation of your entire privacy stack. Buy a US or Japanese model Google Pixel phone if possible. It's easier to set up privately
Step2: Use Signal for messaging.
Step 3: Download all your apps from third party sources; Discord, Whatsapp, TikTok — all of it.
Stop downloading them from Google Play and Apple's App Store. This is called "sideloading". Most of the apps you use today can be downloaded as sideloadables, including Twitter/X itself.
Step 4: Get a VPN
Consider Mullvad or Proton VPN since they don't keep logs. This is a powerful way to hide your location even if the EU attempts to ban virtual private networks.
For Android:
Consider GrapheneOS. It's a free privacy-focused system. It removes a lot of tracking.
This combo makes it much harder for unwanted scanning or tracking. It's not perfect, but way better than default settings.
Look it up on GrapheneOS dot org or PrivacyGuides dot org.
Start small and tell your MEPs you want real privacy, not mass surveillance.
Our tireless fight against Brussels' hegemonic steamrolling of our sovereignty continues. Never stop.
Stay secret! Stay safe!

The "Stalin's generous land swap" argument is deeply misleading because it strips away all of the strategic and political context.
Yes, the Soviet Union offered Finland a larger area of East Karelia in exchange for territory on the Karelian Isthmus, but the land Stalin demanded contained Finland's principal defensive fortifications, protected Viipuri, and directly affected the security of the country's heartland.
The territory offered in return was larger on a map but sparsely populated, economically underdeveloped, and of far less strategic value. More importantly, by 1939 the Soviet Union had already demonstrated a pattern of coercion and territorial expansion against its neighbors.
Within days of invading Finland, Moscow established the Kuusinen puppet government, making it clear that its ambitions likely extended beyond a simple border adjustment. Presenting the negotiations as "Finland stupidly rejected a better deal" ignores why the Finnish government had every reason to distrust Stalin's assurances.
In hindsight, given the Soviet Union's subsequent conduct toward the Baltic states and Eastern Europe, that skepticism was well founded.
