#ChatControl proposal failed in the Council of the EU again today! 🎉

Hungary tried to use its presidency to shame critical governments into agreeing to the proposed mass surveillance by forcing ministers to explain themselves during live-streamed public session. This plan backfired:
several countries took the floor to confirm on the record that this would undermine #cybersecurity, attack #encryption with #ClientSideScanning and violate fundamental rights!

The video of the session is already available and can be downloaded (full or specific sections) in any language. Let's remind everyone of this when the European Commission wrongly claims that #ChatControl would not be a disproportionate attack on our civil rights, threaten everyone's security and undermine encryption with Client-Side-Scanning!

This move by the Hungarian presidency shows again the disdain of the #Orban government for European democracy. Sowing discord among member states and playing dirty tricks, rather than addressing the substantiated critique of the proposed mass surveillance.
#ChatControl #StopScanningMe
Just last week media reported that the government of Hungary in the past has spied on EU officials. Orban acts like a hostile actor, undermining European democratic institutions from within.

Gute Nachricht: das finnische Parlament hat sich klar gegen die #Chatkontrolle positioniert!

Starker Erfolg der Zivilgesellschaft dort – insbesondere @effi – welche sich lange dafür eingesetzt haben.

Teilweise Übersetzung ins Englische von @m4ra:
"..the suggested model would, in fact, lead to the mass surveillance of communication and would weaken the integrity of communication in the EU."

#ChatControl is a really bad idea, but it also remains a file tainted from its very beginning with shady lobbying connections between #Europol, #Thorn and the EC.
While the European Ombudsperson's investigation is still ongoing, another report by #BalkanInsight reinforces concerns regarding undue influence:

„Europol representatives said that an “administrative error” had resulted in his employment by Thorn being approved unconditionally.”

I am particular interested in what parties in Germany and France have to say about Chat Control.

Do the parties act the same in the national parlament as they do in the EU parlament?

In Sweden, the parties in the national goverment are pro Chat Control in the national parlament and against (at least the conservatives and liberals) in the EU parlament.

Does anybody know about Germany and France?

Maybe

@MasterShredder Aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben. Besser wäre es gewesen, wenn heute abgestimmt worden und das Vorhaben damit beerdigt worden wäre. So wird es wieder und wieder kommen, bis der letzte Widerstand gebrochen ist.
