40 Sekunden kurz und präzise: Mit der CDU/CSU wird es keine anlasslose Chatkontrolle geben, wie sie von einigen Staaten in der EU gefordert wird.

You are all celebrating too early, folks. Imagine thinking that the German government wants to protect your privacy. It's simply a puppet theater. A democracy simulation.

The EU’s “Chat Control” legislative proposal violates fundamental rights… Rights that are supposedly protected under the EU Charter: privacy, freedom of expression, and the protection of personal data. It’s framed as a measure to fight online child abuse. However, in practice, it mandates mass surveillance of private communications, including encrypted chats. Platforms could be forced to perform client-side scanning, meaning your messages would be inspected before they’re encrypted. As we’ve seen repeatedly, legislation passed to address one concern is routinely used for purposes beyond its original scope. The USA’s Patriot Act, for example, was passed as a national security measure but resulted in the warrantless wiretapping of millions of US and non-US citizens. If passed, Chat Control won’t just affect EU citizens either. Global platforms providing services to Europeans will have to comply, meaning surveillance mechanisms will extend far beyond Europe. And because you can’t build a backdoor that only the “good guys” can use, it represents an enormous security threat, too. Our digital liberties depend on us taking a stand against such legislative overreach. Together, we can build platforms and tools that enable communication without central chokepoints that efforts like Chat Control target. We’re working with @FundingCommons and @torproject to encourage the development of tools that uphold our fundamental right to express ourselves, free from surveillance and censorship – core values underlying the development of the Logos technology stack.
