Just before a decisive meeting in Brussels, digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament Dr. Patrick Breyer is sounding the alarm.

    Has it ever been leaked who it is that’s pushing for chat control so hard? It’s almost comical at this point

      Leaked? It’s public knowledge. Danish civilians are just too cowardly to show these authoritarians who are the actual bosses.

        That scrotum is just the current driver, but they’re probably referring to some unnamed lobbying group that’s been pushing for this for years. I’m not sure the identity of that group was ever revealed.

          … comrade, everything in the EU is public. Capitalists in parliament are capitalists, their lobby is public:
          You are their slave, they are your Masters.
          You do not deserve privacy, they do.

            No, I was referring to the HLG that helped draft this legislation. We know who in the EU sent out the invitations, but requests to find out who was in the grouo were denied.

            https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/networks/high-level-group-hlg-access-data-effective-law-enforcement_en

            This is still (afaik) not public information.

                You’re citing from a document criticizing the HLG. These are sources for that criticism.

                These are not members of the HLG itself.

        Why is it allowed that a rinky dink country with a population of 6 million dictates the privacy laws of an entire continent of 750 million inhabitants?

          I am anarchist, I know the answer capitalists keep protecting.

          Answer:

          Because the system is working as capitalists/bourgeoisie intended.

          They hold all chips, you don’t.
          You are a slave in their eyes.
          A means to exploit.

        This is the most recent attempt. iIRC, some previous attempts have been spearheaded by Spanish right wings (crushing Catalan independence movements)

    There needs to be a broad law that grants a right to privacy. To stop them spaming these proposals.

      It is really ‘fun’ to not only watch the politicians do nothing in our interested bud repeatedly act against it. I wish people were already fed up enough for general strikes.
