Why am I so fixated on Chat Control?
Because saying that “encryption remains in place” is one of the most dishonest statements I’ve ever heard.
Client-side scanning checks your content ON YOUR DEVICE, before encryption takes place. The padlock is intact. They’re simply searching your bag before you put anything inside it. E2EE ends up protecting the transmission, not the communication. Your own device becomes the informant.
And what about detection technology? The Commission’s own evaluation of voluntary scanning found false positive rates of up to 20% for AI-based image detection. One in five flagged conversations: it wasn’t CSAM. Now scale that to billions of messages.
Over 800 cybersecurity researchers have warned the European Parliament that the error rates are unacceptable and that targeted tools already exist. In tech policy, that level of scientific consensus against a proposal is almost unheard of.
Even the Council’s own Legal Service says that access to private communications without suspicion violates Article 7 of the Charter.
So what?
So they intend to approve it.

Don't use @venncanada if you care about privacy. They don't allow Proton emails and use Persona for ID verification which is a company known for surveillance.
@Ubisoft so you fuckers are actively working against consumer rights and making stupid arguments against StopKillingGames initiative. I have decided to never buy another Ubishit game and will tell others not to.
Correction: Most Authoritarian.
• C-8: Without a court order, govt can cut you off from the internet
• C-9: Criminalizes speech online
• C-22: Keep a year of metadata of everything you do online
• C-34: Requires ID checks to use social media
Seriously @Microsoft stop doing this crap. "Confirm" or "Set later". Why isn't there a no? Can't you respect my choice? Why can't you respect me as a user? I'm sick of being treated as an ad channel. I paid for your product.
Update on my previous post: I ordered a ₹3 Lakh RTX 5090 on @AmazonIN and got a 1.56kg packet of detergent. Amazon promised a refund to kill the social media buzz, but they're just stalling. Now, I've uncovered a massive internal FBA fraud ring.

@DJISupport@DJIGlobal@DJISupport Well...that sucks. You're excluding people who don't use smartphones. I was thinking of buying Osmo 360, but won't be doing that now.
