📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Voor de miljoenste keer: het plan staat haaks op het principe van individuele privacy. Het is ONMOGELIJK om een veilige achterpoort in een E2EE-systeem in te bouwen. Experts zeggen dit al 50 jaar (it's the maths, stupid), maar politici willen gewoon niet luisteren.
