Danish EU Council presidency drops chat control: It's dead for now 🎉

The Danish government will no longer push for chat control!

Here's a machine translation of what the Danish newspaper Berlingske has to say about it.

Fair warning: The journalists in Berlingske don't seem to have the slightest idea what they are talking about, and are enthusiastically gobbling up the Kool-Aid served to them by Danish Minister of Justice Peter Hummelgaard, a man who is on the record claiming that privacy is not a human right (it is). Don't expect to gain any worthwhile neural connections in your brain by reading the below.


Danish proposal on digital child protection dropped after German criticism


Danish EU presidency could not create support for proposals to scan messages for abuse material.

The government will no longer force tech giants to scan citizens' messages for imagery of sexual abuse of children.

The Danish EU Presidency is thus withdrawing its proposal after Germany and later the ruling Moderates have opposed it. This is stated in a written comment.

"This will mean that the injunction will not be part of the EU Presidency's new compromise proposal and that it should continue to be voluntary for tech giants to track down material with child sexual abuse," Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard said.

He sits at the table end in the work to get the CSA regulation adopted under the Danish EU Presidency, which lasts until the New Year.

The regulation was originally proposed by the European Commission in 2022. It will be able to force tech companies to scan the contents of private citizens’ images and videos on encrypted services.

But both Germany and since the Moderates withdrew their support for the proposal because it was too intrusive.

Hummelgaard, however, believes that Denmark's proposal was less intrusive than the EU Commission's original proposal. And he highlights that Save the Children, Unicef, Children's Terms and Digital Responsibility gave their clear backing.

However, the risk of losing an important tool is highly weighted.

"Right now, we are in a situation where we risk completely losing a central tool in the fight against sexual assault against children, because the current scheme that allows for voluntary scanning expires in April 2026," he said.

That's why we have to act no matter what. We owe it to all the children who are subjected to monstrous abuses, says Peter Hummelgaard.

The government's original proposal will break with fundamental freedoms and will potentially result in mass surveillance of citizens in the EU, the critics said. Among other things, they count hundreds of scientists and experts, the Dataetian Council and the tech giants themselves.

Germany has directly called it "mass surveillance" in the past.

"The mass surveillance of private messages must be taboo in a rule of law," the German Ministry of Justice wrote at X.

Save the Children calls the previous volunteer tracing via scanning a "huge success" and is frustrated that there was no backing for a compromise.

"We are deeply concerned and frustrated that there has been no European support for a compromise where tech companies may be required to track down and remove photos and videos with sexual assaults on children," senior adviser at digital child protection Tashi Andersen said in a written commentary.

The image shows a person standing indoors, likely in a convenience store or deli. The person is wearing a light blue button-down shirt and a navy blue tie. They are holding a hot dog in their hand, with the bun held in their left hand and the hot dog itself in their right. Behind them, there is a counter with various items, and a sign that reads "nowocześnie.pl" in the upper right corner. The setting appears casual and the lighting is bright and clear. The image focuses on the person and the hot dog they are holding, with the background providing context of a deli or convenience store setting.

This headline is insane, not only on the "imagine he wasn't white" scale: read the BBC story for the "racist chat". It's horrific.

Oh, and he hasn't been charged with terrorism.

"Police also found radioactive materials and white phosphorus, a substance which can spontaneously ignite in air and is so dangerous that it had to be destroyed by controlled explosion by the military, the court was told."

The UK doesn’t lack homes; it lacks affordable ones. Developers won’t build what people can’t buy, and the Treasury won’t fund social housing. Poverty, rent stress, and political anger rise together. The answer is public investment, not market faith.

Very very interesting. This is happening a lot faster than I'd thought. If Europe can make a whole alternative software ecosystem, then the rest of the world will have something to switch to, and a model for doing it. Let's just hope it stays truly open.

Good Morning #Canada
Kudos to all Canadians and tourists from other countries for spending your vacation dollars in Canada. The numbers for our tourism industry are trickling in, and regions are reporting a boom in revenue for the past few months. Canada’s tourism sector generated a record-breaking amount of revenue between May and August, reaching $59 billion, revenue from international travelers was up 10%, and hotel bookings across Canada were the highest since 2014.
Meanwhile, stats on Canadians traveling to the U.S. show the 6th consecutive month of decline with a 34% drop year-over-year in August. The coming winter months will test Canadian Snowbirds resolve to avoid warm destinations in the USA and determine if our travel protest is waning or just getting started.

(1/2) Is this the end of #ChatControl ?

Well, not quite, but big news nevertheless!

The Danish govt has told reporters that they plan to drop the Commission's proposed "Detection Orders" (mandates requiring chat and email providers to scan people's private communications, even if it breaks end-to-end encryption), due to a lack of political support.

Having previously been fierce proponents of encryption-breaking mass scanning, this is a big change from Denmark.

However, it DOESN'T mean....

in reply to Ella Jakubowska

(2/2) ....it DOESN'T mean that #ChatControl is automatically gone. The Danes still need the other 26 EU Member States to agree on what to replace it with. There are still threats to encryption and digital rights, and we must remain alert.

But it's a strong sign that EU governments increasingly realise they cannot force through the end of private digital communications!

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the government shutdown, and the House of Representatives is still on break as House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) continues to try to force the Senate to pass the House measure to fund the government without negotiating over the Democrats’ demand for the extension of the premium tax credit without which healthcare premiums will skyrocket."

"It's also a blatant lie. Until its quiet removal on October 1, the website included information on nearly $6 billion in SNAP contingency funds which exist

'to ensure that the state can also continue operations during a Federal Government shutdown.' But the Trump regime is hiding the truth to avoid releasing the funding."

Anuncio Importante – WhatsApp blinda los backups con la huella


WhatsApp ha implementado una nueva capa de seguridad para sus copias de seguridad cifradas de extremo a extremo, adoptando la tecnología de claves de acceso (Passkeys). Esta medida permite a los usuarios proteger sus respaldos de chat utilizando su huella dactilar, reconocimiento facial o el código de bloqueo del dispositivo. La actualización busca eliminar la necesidad de recordar complejas contraseñas o las engorrosas claves de cifrado de 64 dígitos (Fuente Meta).

La plataforma de mensajería, propiedad de Meta, ha resuelto uno de los mayores puntos débiles en la experiencia de usuario de su sistema de cifrado de extremo a extremo para copias de seguridad: la gestión de credenciales. Anteriormente, al activar el cifrado de extremo a extremo para los respaldos almacenados en la nube (como iCloud o Google Drive), el usuario debía crear y memorizar una contraseña o una clave de cifrado de 64 dígitos. Olvidar esta clave resultaba en la pérdida irrecuperable de la copia de seguridad, ya que WhatsApp no tiene forma de restablecerla ni acceder a ella.

Con la integración de las Passkeys, WhatsApp simplifica drásticamente este proceso, alineándose con las tendencias de autenticación sin contraseña (passwordless). La seguridad del respaldo queda ahora ligada a los sistemas biométricos o al código de bloqueo de pantalla del dispositivo. Esta tecnología, basada en estándares como FIDO2/WebAuthn, almacena la clave criptográfica de forma segura en el dispositivo, garantizando que el proceso de restauración sea tan simple como un toque o un vistazo, manteniendo el mismo nivel robusto de protección de extremo a extremo.

IMPORTANTE – Esta función se implementará de forma gradual en las próximas semanas y meses. Para comenzar, ve a Ajustes > Chats > Copia de seguridad > Copia de seguridad cifrada de extremo a extremo.


La función está siendo implementada de forma gradual para todos los usuarios de iOS y Android. Para activarla, los usuarios deben navegar en la aplicación a la sección Ajustes > Chats > Copia de seguridad > Copia de seguridad cifrada de extremo a extremo y seguir los pasos para asociar una Passkey, eliminando la dependencia de las contraseñas tradicionales.

These insecure white guys on dating apps complaining about "why does it matter who I voted for?"

Because it's a very quick shortcut into figuring out if you're worth their time.

And this is why these men are becoming radicalized. They're disliked for good reason, but they don't think it's fair.
