Watch the insurance payouts drop dramatically if these go through. Access to all of your medical history… Insane. Still nothing compared to the proposed EU Chat Control.

EU Chat control is ridiculous. Anyone with a bit of knowledge can easily set up a snikket instance and get e2ee. Or just do it over regular email with email clients like k9 and openpgp

One of the main points about chat control is that it forces software developers to break their own encryption or face whatever the penalties will be. It is ridiculous and will hopefully be stopped in it’s tracks, unfortunately not enough people know about it, and even of the ones that do, not enough of them understand what it is and how dangerous it is. Basically, the governments have seen how lucrative it has been for the big techs, and how advantageous it can be to control our data. They have seen what the Israeli’s have been able to do with that information and tech. They want in. It has nothing to do with child protection. If it passes, all politicians better be squeakier and cleaner than squeaky clean. With their data not being scanned, we will likely have to watch them ourselves.
