chatcontrol
¡No hay mayoría de nuevo para aprobar #ChatControl!
El bloqueo se mantiene y la votación del 14 se anula para evitar una humillación aún mayor de los enemigos del cifrado y la privacidad.
Es una victoria inmensa para la ciudadanía europea y debemos celebrarlo y seguir alerta.
The Polish Council Presidency proposed removing mandatory #ChatControl detection orders from the controversial #CSAR proposal. We analyse the new approach and what could happen if Member States approve it 🔮

We are impressed with the new https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ website, and the way it provides all the info needed to engage in distributed diverse action to prevent the EU from preparing the ground for, or sliding into, authoritarianism by breaking end-to-end encryption for everyone. Germany and France are particularly important to engage with and we'll see what we can do from our circles. We don't know the people behind @chatcontrol but big kudos!

The war on crypto never ends. The war on privacy, civil rights, security and freedom of speech never ends.
This time we are dangerously close to lose. The "Child Sexual Abuse" (CSA) EU regulation proposal, more aptly nicknamed "ChatControl", will be voted AGAIN this October, and many countries who opposed it last year are now undecided. The proposal at its roots aims at allowing authorities to break end-to-end encryption for the usual reason: "because of the children". As a father of two, I am disgusted by this recurring, cheap rhetoric.

What if a state tries to mandate us as #deltachat app devs/distributors to shut down a chat profile?
Nothing. It can't be done.
We have no list of chat identities, have no handle or data about them, and don't mediate the message transfer.
However, EU #Chatcontrol politicians and Russian authorities would want us to insert backdoors into our FOSS code. But that is nothing than can happen overnight, and we are fine with friendly forks already. Resilient private internet communication ftw :)
mailbox takes a clear stance against chat control
On 14 October, the EU Council will vote on the CSA Regulation – legislation that would require email and messaging services to automatically scan private messages. Without cause, without suspicion.
Together with other European tech companies, we've signed an open letter.

Seems like #Chatcontrol has been voted out
\o/
I can't stop grinning today. Thank you for showing up!
I keep picturing MEPs' inboxes and timelines flooding with messages from people who decided to act instead of just scrolling, and they couldn't ignore it. I'd like to think that pressure changed votes this week, and if it did, you did this.
This is a hard-won pause, not a full stop. Chat Control is blocked for now, so celebrate tonight and rest a little, but don't mistake relief for the end of the fight. My guess is they'll come back (they always do), though for now we won.
I'm proud and exhausted and oddly hopeful. Sleep a little better tonight, then we get back to work. ✊

« Chat control », c’est le nom usuel du projet européen, qu’on peut qualifier de « surveillance généralisée », avec comme objectif la lutte contre la pédocriminalité.
Techniquement, version simple : un mouchard obligatoire dans chaque smartphone. Tu veux envoyer une image à un correspondant par Signal ? avant son envoi (et donc son chiffrement) elle est analysée (algo, IA) et si elle est louche, elle est envoyée à Big Brother.
Le projet est vieux de plusieurs années, avec une accélération l’été dernier. Un vote était prévu le 14 octobre, il a été reporté, et ça devrait revenir en décembre.
