Wie beim Klimawandel geht es auch bei der Chatkontrolle nicht um wissenschaftliche Fakten. Die freiwillige Chatkontrolle könnte nach der Faktenlage noch viel unwirksamer sein und würde dennoch weiter vorangetrieben werden - ebenso eine verpflichtende Chatkontrolle (die nur vertagt wurde).

Es geht darum, rücksichtlos die Interessen der herrschenden Klasse durchzusetzen um die Arbeiterklasse, die zunehmend Widerstand gegen Ausbeutung und Faschismus leistet, unterdrücken zu können. Deshalb wird die Chatkontrolle vorangetrieben. Ohne den Sturz des Kapitalismus mit einer internationalen sozialistischen Perspektive wird keine Chatkontrolle und kein anderes Instrument der Massenüberwachung verhindert werden.

4/5 That's not all! 🧐

⚠️ The Ombudsperson's findings on the Commission's maladministration also included those the #deregulation agenda: The Commission also did not follow proper rules for the Omnibus proposal on corporate sustainability and due diligence and on the Common Agricultural Policy.

This assessment shows serious procedural shortcuts from the EU's executive body that has clearly resulted in rushed and harmful lawmaking. The #DigitalOmnibus launched last week is a result of the same.

5/5 ✊🏾 Lawmakers should not get to overlook fair, transparent and democratic processes for making laws, because the consequences are way too harmful for those at the receiving end.

Hey, its hard too read graphics on a mobile. Any chance that there's a version of the marked up document that's text based? I thought maybe the alt text might have had it, but that's not helpful

@EUCommission

I hope people understand that your own phone is more or less owned by the government and that your own phone will betray you: where you are, what you are doing, who you are talking to, how much money is going where, and whether you are doing something the state does not like.

You might say it won't be that bad, but suppose that in a few months' time, someone like Trump suddenly comes to power in your country. Would you still be so sure about Chat Control?
