Call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE this nightmarish bill NOW!

NOT tomorrow! NOT next week!

There’s still a chance to beat this to the ground, so get going!

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

Canadian people, use the recent Discord leak to show how BAD of an idea this is. Age verification or any OSA putrid child needs to die before it becomes law, do not allow this and make sure to your rep that if they are for this law they will be taken out of power expeditiously.

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 4d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

this is a really good sign, but it's not over until it's over. Germany has flipped before, and we cannot risk it flipping again. Germans, continue to voice your opposition to your MEPs/MPs. likewise, everyone else in the EU should be similarly vocal!

we have 7 more days!

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 5d

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

He wants people to know the ban occurred during the dead of night after he logged off when he "was starting to talk about how their desire for 'AI' to be sentient means they basically want to create life for the sake of slave labor"

if you are German, you really need to yell and scream at your MEPs about chat control! Germany has been flip flopping on chat control constantly. Their vote carries an enormous amount of weight on this issue!

we can win this, but we need to make our voices heard! contact your representatives!

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 10d

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
 Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal.
 If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !

Screenshot of the Fight Chat Control website (https://fightchatcontrol.eu/) in German showing the Bundestag members. It is now possible to contact Bundestag members directly to express your concerns about Chat Control.
