Chat control is back on the agenda again and the works is kept in secret.
I live in Europe, but not in a EU country. Is there anything I can contribute with?
Say the thing to the most people and the dangers associated
80s and 90s = peak humanity.
Depends on where you were in the 80s and 90s. If you were in America, the future EU, or Eastern Asia, for example, those were great times. If you were in Rwanda, Bosnia, or Afghanistan (The Soviet-Afgan war) I doubt many people call that peak humanity.
Everybody needs to switch to Simplex/Briar/Threema/Molly ASAP. I'd like to see them try and ban F-droid LMAO
Aren't all (most?) those centralized services? What good is having the app if the service is unavailable? Tox, Jamie and Veilidchat are fully decentralized, not just federated, fully decentralized. They come with their own downsides though...
Apologies, yes Threema and Molly are centralized since they depend on proprietary servers. SimpleX and Briar are FOSS and P2P over TOR
Correction. Briar is true p2p, while Simplex relies on servers - but said servers can be hosted by anyone and interoperate.

I don't think this is a political issue. There is support for this kind on legislation across political lines.
The only way to stop this is to call out the leadership who is wanting this. That means breaking down political barriers so that a leader or representative can be called out my all. When things become political you end up seeing politically leaning organizations ignoring representatives who are of the same political party. It becomes more of political slander than actual concerns.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
