END OF PRIVACY in the EU! Proposal to Scan ALL PRIVATE MESSAGES Gains Momentum!

This is a serious threat to digital privacy! A controversial EU proposal called "Chat Control" is gaining major momentum, with 19 member states now backing the plan to scan every private message on apps like #WhatsApp and Signal. This isn't just a simple idea; it's a measure that could be mandated as early as October!

The plan works by mandating that software be embedded in users' devices to inspect content before it gets encrypted. This means your private chats, photos, and videos would be open to algorithmic scrutiny. It's essentially "mass surveillance by means of fully automated real time surveillance of messaging," according to former European Parliament member Patrick Breyer.

The justification is to prevent child abuse material, but critics argue that criminals will simply move to other channels, while the privacy of ordinary users is destroyed. This is a critical moment for digital freedom, and it highlights the importance of decentralized, open source technologies that can protect our privacy from overreach! #Europe #EU #Privacy #Decentralization
