This isn't even funny in any funny way. I wonder at what stage someone will start fighting back, you're on a straight path to authoritarianism, and fast.

It is Wednesday morning and I need $15,000 to fall from the sky so that a group of extremely high-risk activists can continue to get anti-doxxing protection and data-deletion services.

I am not enjoying this week. Zero stars on WeekAdvisor.

#Privatsphäre ist kein Luxus, sondern ein Schutzschild der #Freiheit. Deshalb streiten wir vor Gericht für das Recht auf Verschlüsselung, gegen Gesichtserkennung und für digitale Selbstbestimmung. Öffentlich, laut, unbeirrbar.👇

🇬🇧👍Estonia won't be approving #chatcontrol either.
👎But Germany's vote on Oct. 14th is still up in the air, risk of a dangerous coalition compromise.
💪28 days left to increase the pressure on your government and defend digital privacy and security: https://chatcontrol.eu
A map of Europe titled "Help Stop #ChatControl!" shows countries color-coded by their government's stance on Chat Control in 2025. The legend indicates: green for "Not in favour," blue for "Undecided/Unclear," and red for "In favour."

Countries in favour (red) are: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.

Countries not in favour (green) are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia.

Countries undecided or unclear (blue) are: Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Romania.

The map includes the text "Is your government opposing it yet?" and a call to action at the bottom: "Act now! www.chatcontrol.eu".

"It's just smoke and mirrors." Over 500 cryptography scientists warn that the EU’s #ChatControl proposal still breaks encryption, enables mass surveillance, and won’t work as promised. EU Council decides on Sept 12.

Small tweaks, big risks. The Danish #ChatControl proposal still mandates on-device scanning, weakens anonymity, and opens the door to censorship & mass surveillance. Encryption without privacy is meaningless.
