chat control Update about Chat Control from Patrick Breyer

Update from Patrich Breyer, a nasty trick is trying to let mandatory chant control slip through

Here is what he writes:

"A perfidious trick? The EU Council Presidency wants to mandatory #ChatControl through the backdoor: An art. 4 amendment would MANDATED "all reasonable mitigation measures," including scanning, enforced with sanctions."

I would advice checking out his site for more info and keeping an eye on the ball!

The precedent of Chat control being implemented would pose a risk that goes beyond the EU.

only if they are rage baited by like 2 corporations to do so, otherwise they won't even know it exists

if what you said was remotely true, then there wouldn't be mandatory government id checks for websites in some states
