If you're good at talking to politicians, contact your representatives, in particular in countries still undecided. Many don't understand the risks and implications and fall for the emotional arguments. I appreciate the attitude but this exposes us to hacking & mass surveillance.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...
