Chat Control being voted on in EU.
Young people’s primary communication is digital.
So let me explain this so also the older generation can understand.
This is the digital equivalent of installing mandatory microphones everywhere in everyone’s house, bedrooms, car, gardens and in the forest.
There is nowhere you can go which doesn’t have a microphone recording what you say.
The government monitors all these microphones, always.
First it’s against one set of crimes.
Then it’s expanded to:
- Terrorism
- National Security
- Public Safety
Who is against that!??
(Remember when Covid era criticism became “efforts to delegitimise the state”?)
But wait there’s more!
Everything that can be hacked will be hacked.
You think LastPass and Ledger can get hacked, but some EU government function cannot?
So now you must assume that everything you say “in private” will eventually end up public on the internet, forever.
Do you want this society?
That’s the vote.
