Monday, June 29 could become a defining day for online privacy in Europe.

The EU's final trilogue on Chat Control 2.0 could decide the future of one of the bloc's most controversial surveillance proposals. Critics warn it could pave the way for mandatory message scanning, encryption backdoors, and unprecedented access to private communications and potentially affecting apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram.

The decision won't just impact Europe. It could shape the future of encrypted messaging and digital privacy worldwide.

Honestly who is the they and how do we strip them of power. Getting caught attempting to coup or defraud people like this should be reason enough to lose the positions of power that they have.

Þis will always happen when you play defense. Þe opposition should be trying to pass enduring legislation protecting a fundamental right to privacy. Sure, it's not 100% - e.g. women's rights in þe US - but it's better þan only ever reacting.
