Pablo Majster :clippy:<p>For months now, whispers have turned into a roar :neocat_scream_angry: about a certain EU proposal. At first, it sounds like a noble cause - protecting children from harm online 👶🛡️ Who could argue with that?</p><p>But this is no ordinary mission. This is the turning point 🔄 A moment where the digital realm risks falling into a shadow :ghosty: A plan that demands all our private conversations be scanned :eyes_happy: No suspicion. No crime. No reason. Just everyone. All the time ⏰</p><p>Imagine a system powerful enough to scan every message, every image, every whisper - on every device, for every person 📱💻 It doesn't need physical access or a noisy presence. It runs silently in the background, all the time :ghosty:</p><p>It was created to protect 🛡️ But its effectiveness is uncertain, and privacy is seriously compromised 🔓 Instead of focusing on real threats, it treats everyone the same - as if risk came from simply being online 🌐</p><p>A digital weapon built before anyone can understand its consequences ⚠️ Like a Death Star - not made of kyber, but of code :empire: Created in the name of safety, but capable of something far more dangerous ☠️</p><p>Officially, this proposal is called CSAR (Child Sexual Abuse Regulation) 📜, but most of us know it as ChatControl :mail_smirk: And that's no accident - the latter name more accurately reflects what this system really is and the consequences it brings :eyes_happy:</p><p>If passed, it will mark the end of private digital communication in the EU 🚫:signal: And if it happens here, it can happen anywhere 🌍 Because what is accepted in one democracy can quickly become the norm in others. Europe often sets the standards others follow 🇪🇺 And the world is watching 👁️</p><p>This proposal changes the rules ⚖️ It weakens encryption 🔐, the very foundation of secure communication. When encryption is weakened, every message becomes vulnerable to interception :hacked:, and privacy is no longer guaranteed. When privacy disappears, democracy crumbles with it 🏛️⚠️ The consequences do not end there - surveillance will become part of daily life :signal: :eyes_happy:, and control over our digital world will only grow stronger.</p><p>I was born into a free internet 🌐 I want to die in one too 🗽</p><p>This proposal breaks fundamental rights 🚨:<br>- the right to private communication (Article 7) :signal:<br>- the right to data protection (Article 8) 🔒<br>- the presumption of innocence ⚖️<br>- the principle of proportionality ⚖️</p><p>This is not a debate over ideology 🚫🗯️ This is a matter of principle 🔥</p><p>To the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>EUCommission</span></a></span>: I know your intentions are good 🙏 But history does not judge intentions. It judges consequences :blobcatgrimacing: You want to protect people 🛡️ But you may end up building something that will be used to control them :neocat_devil:</p><p>Don't build a machine you yourselves would fear :neocat_scream_scared: You will not be remembered for good intentions - but for what you leave behind 👣 Think about how it will affect us all. Choose security, not surveillance. 🚫:eyes_happy: This is your moment ⏳ Don't waste it.</p><p>To everyone else: You don't have to be from Europe 🇪🇺 to care :neocat_heart: When harmful laws pass without resistance - the impact is felt everywhere 🌎 We are citizens of one digital world 🌐 And in that world, staying silent comes at the highest cost 🤐</p><p>Freedom does not die loudly. It disappears - quietly :ghosty: - unless we stop it :fist_paw:</p><p>Visit fightchatcontrol.eu. Learn. Message your MEP.
