The EU Vote on Chat Controls have returned lads, it's time for us to strike this down once and for all. The below is a list of our EU reps in Brussels, please take the time to write to them.
I have dropped a template below you can use, just be polite and make it clear why you think we should reconsider as a country.
Here are the addresses separated by semicolons so you can send one bulk email;

The message template is as follows:
Dear Representatives,
My name is XYZ.
Just say that this goes against our rights to privacy, and may even be unconstitutional, and ask them to please vote against this law.
• I agree with the need to prevent and combat child sexual abuse.
• I am concerned that the proposed rules imply constant surveillance of personal communications, such as messages and emails, using Artificial Intelligence directly on the device.
• I believe that this mass monitoring constitutes a violation of the right to privacy, which is guaranteed by the Constitution.
• The mandatory identification through ID cards may increase users' vulnerability to cyberattacks and data breaches.
• The use of Al to monitor communications could result in false positives, unjustly exposing private conversations of innocent people.
• I fear that real criminals will find ways to circumvent the surveillance, making these measures ineffective against those who should truly be caught. Meanwhile, innocent people, who do not try to evade these measures, may be unjustly exposed due to false positives.
• I urge the need to find a balance between protecting children and preserving citizens' fundamental rights.
Remember… politicians will be exempt from this legislation. This cannot be allowed to go through.
