    Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.

    Instead it’s a general “contact your government”,
    which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.

      from the linked website:

      Ask you government to call on the European Commission to withdraw the chat control proposal. Point them to a joint letter that was recently sent by children’s rights and digital rights groups from across Europe. Click here to find the letter and more information.

      one paragraph below that:

      When reaching out to your government, the ministries of the interior (in the lead) of justice and of digitisation/telecommunications/economy are your best bet. You can additionally contact the permanent representation of your country with the EU.

      the bold parts are clickable URLs in the original text.

    They’ll keep bringing this up again and again and again until it passes, huh.

    Next Council deliberations and vote in October-December.

      That’s the thing. People have to keep voting forever to keep this from coming into effect, but they only need it to pass a vote once for it to be enacted for basically ever.

    If only in the same breath we would make all the politicians text messages public, guess they only want other chats to be controlled but not their own.

        And then blamed for ruining the 2016 American election.

        Snowden showed the government was spying, had to flee, deemed a terrorist. Assange showed the government disobeys the laws it enforces on everyone else, deemed a terrorist. Manning showed that war crimes are constant, deemed a terrorist, subjected to inhumane torture.

        Every time a whistleblower exposes corruption and violations of laws in every country, they are punished. China, Russia, America, England, they’re all guilty of it.
