🇪🇺 EU NOW HAS FULL ACCESS TO MESSAGES AND EMAILS. The EU has passed “Chat Control 1.0”, which forces companies to scan and handover ALL messages and emails. This applies to ALL residents of the European Union, and arrests can be made for “hateful” texts. image

Apparently, the nationwide internet outage in Australia was caused by some software updates to the phone networks so corporations can spy on us more effectively. Essentially the same thing as chat control in EU, except, no vote or public discussion. View quoted note →
Why are you spreading misinformation? It’s true that Chat Control 1.0 was passed and it’s bad, but you should read up on it before writing about something you clearly don’t understand. What you are referring to is Chat Control 2.0, but that one has NOT passed (though it wouldn’t surprise me if it does at some point). Chat Control 1.0 is entirely voluntary. It allows (but does not force!) tech companies to scan for illegal material on their platforms. The EU does not have direct access to your inbox. The law does not give police or politicians some kind of master key to read emails and text messages at will.
Chat Control 2.0 is the real problem to worry about. I imagine all encrypted messaging apps will be removed from the iOS App Store and Google Play Store unless they impose some kind of client-side scanning. Luckily, sideloading is much easier on Android.
