Das Bild verwendet das bekannte Meme-Format „Disaster Girl“. Es zeigt: Vordergrund: Ein junges Mädchen mit einem leicht schelmischen Lächeln blickt direkt in die Kamera. Ihr Gesichtsausdruck vermittelt eine Mischung aus Unschuld und unterschwelliger Genugtuung. Hintergrund: Ein Haus steht in Flammen. Feuerwehrleute sind dabei, den Brand zu löschen. Auf dem Feuerwehrauto ist die Nummer „38“ zu sehen. Text-Overlays: Über dem brennenden Haus steht: „PRIVATSPHÄRE & SICHERHEIT“ – ein Hinweis darauf, was hier symbolisch „in Flammen steht“. Über dem Gesicht des Mädchens steht: „EU-KOMMISSION“ – sie wird hier als die vermeintliche Verursacherin des „Brandes“ dargestellt.

#chatcontrol #germany

https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ now includes national members of the Italian parliament.

🇮🇹 Italy remains UNDECIDED, but is leaning towards SUPPORTING Chat Control despite clear conflicts with constitutional guarantees on privacy and the secrecy of correspondence.

If you are Italian, consider contacting your national parliament members via fightchatcontrol.eu !

🇪🇺Germany's Interior Ministry is pushing a sham amendment to bully the 🇩🇪 coalition into approving #ChatControl on Tuesday - securing a Council majority. Total trick: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#danishproposal

Act NOW and ramp up the heat on YOUR government […]

if you are German, you really need to yell and scream at your MEPs about chat control! Germany has been flip flopping on chat control constantly. Their vote carries an enormous amount of weight on this issue!

we can win this, but we need to make our voices heard! contact your representatives!

If you're German you need to act now!
It's now or never

#SaveSpeech

we have 15 days to to get enough countries to oppose Chat Control and block it before it will be voted upon [Oct 14th].

if you are in the EU, yell at your MEPs! Even if your country already opposes, REINFORCE THAT. And if your country is undecided or supporting? YELL EXTRA HARD.

Screenshot of the Fight Chat Control website (https://fightchatcontrol.eu/) in German showing the Bundestag members. It is now possible to contact Bundestag members directly to express your concerns about Chat Control.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal.

If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !

Gonna be doing a big streem tomorrow!!
Hope to see you there!

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
You didn’t even make it.
Knock it off.

If you're Canadian, please sign this! You'll have to confirm your signature via email but for good reason--this is a petition sponsored by an actual member of parliament. These petitions can lead to actual meaningful action here. Doesn't take very long, please add your support!!

Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens. Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided You Will Be Impacted Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union. Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications. Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors. Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values. False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations. Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures. Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼

The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October.

PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy!

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content.

bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory

points that need addressing are: [cont]

Sent more letters and made my calls. The MasterCard line wouldn't even connect so I left a message with the CEO instead.

I'm going up North for a few days, good luck out there everyone!

An image of a huge jackboot crushing a comic artist and a bunch of comic pages. The boot is marked by the logos for MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction. Fight back against the unjust policies hurting artists and creators online! https://yellat.money/ https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/

Let's Keep Calling!

you know what would be really funny?

if people started calling MasterCard saying "I mentioned MasterCard in a Riot/Valorant/League of Legends stream and I got timed out/warned/banned. I don't understand why that would happen. Can you explain it to me?"

SCREEN ACT: -full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) -Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft. -id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation -draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving

KOSA: -creates "duty of care,” meaning that tech companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instances of online bullying, from impacting minors. -who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration -it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves. Ex: sex ed. -the vague nature of the bill will almost certainly be used to target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"

CONGRATS SOLDIER, we've hit 2 weeks of solid #SaveSpeech pressure! Youre doing a great job! Reward yourself!

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Hey, it would mean so much to me if y'all kept up the pressure with phone calls to payment processors to show to them how much people care and that they can't just ignore it—my livelihood depends on adult games not being censored!
