With the help of our Large Language Models we will support you In order to put pressure on the policy makers to stop the chat control proposal that contradicts our fundamental rights.
1️⃣ Completely normal photos, such as holiday pictures 🏞️ are considered suspicious.
2️⃣ So our private family photos or the chats and pictures from your sexting yesterday 🍑🍆 also end up on an official table. So we can throw privacy in the bin 🚮
Chances are high that most of your European friends have never heard of chat control. So let them know about the danger and what you think about the chat control proposal.
“The European Commission launched an attack on our civil rights with chat control. I contacted my local MEP to tell him that I oppose the proposal. You can do so too! This Website I found will help you write an e-mail to an MEP using A.I.”
Look man, its like this: these surveillance pushes will not stop. Governments want to control everything. You can lobby to stop this this time, then in a year or two you'll be posting this kind of stuff again. One day they'll succeed.
The only real solution is noncompliance. Don't comply, don't use services that comply. Use XMPP. Use a third party matrix server. Use briar. Use simplex. Use session. Use things incapable of complying with anything in the first place.
This sort of legislation really only effects people that give a fuck. It effects people using Facebook and WhatsApp and gmail. It doesn't effect you if you don't want it to. We are a Monero community, we don't comply.
This is the way, the state has become a parasite and politics are fully controlled. Criminals are in charge and it is no use pleading with the slave-master for your freedom. If you want it back, take it back.
Obviously there are a lot of corruptions, yeah… But I’d like to believe that we may be able to change things a bit. We may be able to fight back, rectify things…
Fundamentally you guys are absolutely right. If they want to monitor us, we make it technically hard for them, e.g. by encrypting things locally (with only yourself having the secret key), instead of using a Big Tech platform and letting them encrypt things.
Maybe they’re trying to desensitize us, by proposing bad laws again and again, until eventually people give up. That’s slimy. If normal users don’t even know what’s happening, we better spread info. Not just passively disobeying, but actively telling them “No!” Maybe some politicians just really don’t understand the implications.
Also, at least in the US, we kind of won twice in the past: 1) Cryptography-related export control is generally unconstitutional. 2) PGP is legal & a user is not forced to escrow their key.
We’re becoming weaker if we just keep thinking to ourselves, “Let’s just give up; they won’t change.”
