    I am so tired of this shit… every year they try to do this shit again. Every year we again have to convince them not too. Then a year later they try again.

    They will keep trying until they win. Instead of focusing on important things, they just want to push laws for more control. Even our representatives should KNOW that people don’t want this.

    I always wonder that. When we mass call and email to let them know they are wrong on something incredibly obvious. Do they go “oh wow we didn’t know you didn’t want us to know your private conversations or have a list of your favorite porn categories 😲😲😲”? They should already know this.

      Take note that there are lobbies pushing for these. Security state, police and religious fanatics wanting morality policing, also politicians who re afraid of popular upheaval.

        Maybe if politicians did what the people wanted, they wouldn’t have to be afraid of an uprising against them… and if religious cunts would just stay in their churches and mind their own business…

      They need control for the sake of control, there is nothing higher than absolute power.

    Educate friends and family on government surveillance, use privacy tools like Signal, VPN, Tor, etc. Help them set it up. You can do everyday actions to push back far more useful than signing a petition.

    The linked petition says:

    The European Parliament MPs must vote AGAINST Chat Control legislation during EPlenary vote in June-August 2021.

    It’s not even up to date. And it only has 1.8k signatures.

    The European Union has begun to cross the border. I think they were inspired by United States and Signal and etc.
