🚨 Denmark is attempting to force #ChatControl 2.0 through the back door TODAY! Take action now! fightchatcontrol.eu

“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.” Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control. Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard: "The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level." Source: www.bmjv.de/SharedDocs/Z...

Anlasslose Chatkontrolle muss in einem Rechtsstaat tabu sein. Private Kommunikation darf nie unter Generalverdacht stehen.“

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control: Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

📣 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.

If you are 🇩🇪 German, you can now call many of your Bundestag members directly via fightchatcontrol.eu by clicking the "Call" button!

🇮🇹 Italy remains UNDECIDED, but is leaning towards SUPPORTING Chat Control despite clear conflicts with constitutional guarantees on privacy and the secrecy of correspondence. If you are Italian, consider contacting your national parliament members via fightchatcontrol.eu !
