Fight Chat Control

Source: www.dr.dk/nyheder/sene...

Since Denmark can attempt another vote in December, it is important to stay vigilant. Both Italy and Sweden remain undecided while France remains supportive despite Chat Control being in direct violation of its Résilience bill explicitly forbidding both forced backdoors and client-side scanning.

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Zitat Anlasslose Chatkontrolle muss in einem Rechtsstaat tabu sein. Private Kommunikation darf nie unter Generalverdacht stehen.“

Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level."

This is an important milestone only made possible by all of you actively raising your voices to your MEPs and MPs. THANK YOU! We need to remain vigilant: the Justice and Home Affairs Council is still meeting the 13-14th October.

We need to actively monitor the coming days!

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Peter Hummelgaard, Danish Minister of Justice, remains defiant:

"I indisputably believe that surveillance creates an increased sense of security ... and given that the prerequisite for freedom is security, yes, I believe that more surveillance equates to more freedom"

Overview of current support and opposition for the Chat Control legislation by Patrick Breyer (https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/). Countries opposing include the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Finland, and Estonia. Undecided countries are Germany, Slovenia, Romania, and Greece. All remaining member states supports Chat Control.

Germany's position has been reverted to UNDECIDED.

Despite expressing concerns about breaking end-to-end encryption, Germany refrained from taking a definitive stance on the Chat Control proposal during the September 12th LEWP meeting. A willingness to negotiate and compromise remains.

Hello! Thank you for taking action! Which language, specifically? It would be good to get this fixed. If you have time, could you please get in touch via contact@fightchatcontrol.eu ? Thanks!
