Bread and circuses keep people happy, take those away and you get situations like Nepal. Is that your ultimate goal? Corner people, dismantle and take away everything people love and find joy in, so that you can oppress them even more, strip away more of their rights, when they inevitably retaliate?

This move is empty now that you've turned against SKG, categorising all games as "services" instead of products, and are posturing to make community-run spaces illegal via the KIDS Act.

🇪🇺🚨 Next Tuesday, a dirty deal on #ChatControl 2.0 looms, allowing PERMANENT mass scanning of our private chats (so-called #SearchPlans). 😱 Speak up and email your MEPs NOW to stop this: ℹ️ chatcontrol.wtf ✍️ fightchatcontrol.eu/?level=national…
Screenshot of an info page (chatcontrol.eu) warning about “Chat Control 2.0.” A highlighted line says a potentially final and decisive trilogue takes place on Tuesday, 29 September. It warns EU governments want “search plans” to scan “parts of a service” (e.g., all group chats or all EU users), effectively mass scanning of private chats. It cites that the Council’s own Legal Service warned this could be “general and indiscriminate” and likely illegal. It also warns about keeping the “voluntary” Chat Control 1.0 as a loophole, mentioning high false positives and cases affecting minors.

This is hard to reach because: ‼️ People who do not vote are AUTOMATICALLY VOTED AS YES-VOTE in this procedure. ‼️ This was tactfully done: it's the summer break, this makes it even harder to reach 361 no-votes.

In March, it was voted against, but it's back and it was pushed through via urgent procedure. This changes the rules of the vote (of course to be in favour of chat control). Shockingly, blocking it now requires absolute majority 361 out of the Parliament's 720 members, to be rejected.

CHAT CONTROL IS BACK → Today the urgent procedure for Chat Control 1.0 was passed. Next up: EU Parliament is voting on Thursday. If Chat Control passes your messages, pictures, videos will all be scanned because the law will require it - this removes privacy & welcomes mass surveillance in the EU.
