⚠️ 🇪🇺 Tomorrow, something unprecedented (and IMO completely unhinged) will be happening on the EU's draft CSA Regulation (#ChatControl)
Here's my take on what's happening & what you can do as someone that cares about digital rights:
- The law has been stalled for years because the EU Council (reps of all the member states) cannot agree to a position;
- On the one hand, you have governments like Spain who have admitted that they want to put a stop to encryption;

- I'd suggest that we need to continue to show governments like Hungary, Sweden, Ireland and Spain that they are ignoring the consensus of cybersecurity and human rights experts (e.g. edri.org/our-work/most-critici…) and that Hungary's latest text still undermines end-to-end encryption;
- We also need to give our support to the countries that have listened to science and evidence, and are waiting for a proposal that is lawful and would actually work before giving their support;
Is this the most criticised draft EU law of all time? - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

I really hope the governments of Europe stay strong and listen to cryptography experts about the dangers of Chat Control.
Government officials tell people to trust experts all the time in regards to decisions on public health and the economy, but themselves are ready to ignore expert testimony to pass a law that would see the creation of an unprecedented mass surveillance system in Europe.
