Fuck this is sad. 😔 Also, canary vibes. I have a bunch of parallel convos going w people weighing the complex variables of fleeing. It was damn painful for me and fam to leave everything after targeting but I'm glad I did. The emotional stress of it all becomes complex trauma. Hope y'all can heal.

Forgot to update on this

Update 22:51h: The vote originally scheduled for 14 October will not take place because there is no majority for the proposal. It is likely that the EU Commission will now propose to extend the Chat Control 1.0 regulation currently in force that permits providers to scan our messages (if they choose). An extension of this indiscriminate bulk scanning regime is not acceptable. Scanning under this regulation needs to be targeted and limited to suspects where requested by a judicial authority.
