  1. * Signal has claimed EU ‘Chat Control’ legislation is comparable to malware
    * It is also considering leaving Europe if the bill were passed
    * Chat Control is back on the lawmakers’ table on October 14

    **Germany: the deciding factor**

    This is why Whittaker urges German citizens to “let German politicians know how harmful, counterproductive, and self-sabotaging their reversal would be.”

  3. Preventive chat control is a violation of individual freedom.

  4. Every undecided MEP isn’t saying anything till the vote in the offchance this doesn’t pass cause nobody wants to be seen as the guy who brought back the Stasi.

    But this is gonna pass and soon enough every Orban in every country is gonna have the tools to surveil anyone and blackmail with AI.

    It’s gonna be messy

  6. Calling it an EU proposal is misleading. It was proposed by one country and a few other countries like it. 

    The last I heard the chat montoring measure had already been taken out of the bill. 

  7. Just follow the money I’m sure it ends at some AI company.
