Today the EU Parliament votes on Chat Control. Whatever the outcome, don’t look away now. Chat Control 1.0 is NOT mandatory scanning. It’s the expired ePrivacy derogation, the legal basis for platforms that choose to scan private messages. Voluntary.
Bad? A lot. Rejected in March. Expired in April. Resurrected in July via urgent procedure, on the last day before summer recess, when blocking it takes 361 votes and every absent MEP counts as a yes.
They didn’t win the argument. They changed the rules.
But why now? Because the Council needs it to buy time and leverage for the real fight: Chat Control 2.0 (CSAR).
CSAR detection orders would let authorities force every platform to scan your private communications. Still stuck in negotiations. Still not law. Still stoppable.
That’s exactly why this is not the moment to tune out. This is the moment they’re counting on you to tune out.
So please, stay loud. The real battle is still ahead.
@pli_cachete you can turn it off in settings → account → sharing → disable "attach account info to shared links." they made it opt-out and buried it 3 menus deep for a reason. that reason is not privacy.

@andriaverse People are surprised by the price but over here they're like 80-99 cents when on sale (if you keep track of a handful of shops you should on average find energy drinks on sale every other week
@cardboard321@DerpyErika@AntMess97@KinaMagica I am so so very sorry sir, I lack the talent, skill and training to handle this conversation.
I know you've been trained in the arts of circustry and have mastered the most powerful mental gymnastics, jumping through hoops and making the largest of leaps.
I will no longer comment
