And then The Council of the EU (law proposals must go through both the Parliament and the Council), after three years of negotiation, finally reached a common position on Chat Control. The requirement for mandatory scanning (including end-to-end encrypted messaging services) was removed, which is a major victory, but several problematic elements remain in the Council's position. For instance, the Council wants to demand ID Control to use messaging services (including end-to-end encrypted).
And then?
And then, in 2026 the final negotiations began, between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU. At the same time, the European Commission is working on a Plan B, through the initiative Going Dark/ProtectEU, where they once again try to force total surveillance (this time organized crime is the excuse) on the citizens of the EU.

@mullvadnet Thank you for the exhaustive explanation. š It's sad that you had to waste your precious time on that.

Mass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.
Tack sƄ mycket!

@cavallo_pazzo @mullvadnet
Nothing was wasted today. Fortunately I've actually learned something today. Thank you. -

@mullvadnet (feeling like a pop-trivia idiot - even though I started at the top witg mention of Ashton Kutcher, the āand then?ā you kept saying didnāt <click> until this last note. 10 out of 10.)
Grim, being supportive and respectful of Kutcherās effort against human trafficking, but āoh, hell noā at the intrusion and implausibility of this proposal.

@mullvadnet I did not saw that coming

And then it was revealed that Thorn, the organization founded by Ashton Kutcher and which had been lobbying for Chat Control from the beginning, was selling the kind of scanning technology that could be used for Chat Control ā despite being registered as a charity organization in the EUās lobbying registry.
And then?

@mullvadnet Ashton Kutcher wrote character reference letters in support of his former co-star Danny Masterson, who was convicted of rape.
That is the measure of the man running Thorn.

No to Chat Control and all of its forms!
That's the kind of laws you get - and you constantly fight against - when you don't have real accountability as is the case in the Europan Commission (and most top EU institutions)
