#ChatControl is some serious crazy stuff where #EU citizens can only scratch their head and think "How could they come up with this?"
Not only that, but this #surveillance nightmare is brought on the table over and over again. It is against #European values and rights to #Privacy. It erodes #trust with people that #EuropeanCommission is working in the collective best interest.
What's next? Camera's in our home, so we can all feel safe knowing big brother is watching over us?
This could of course be our 'trusty' smartphone, where some simple software backdoors the whole thing, if that wasn't already half-way done by #BigTech themself in their #surveillancecapitalism quest.
After all it saves some energy if the stuff is already in an Amazon, Google or Facebook datacenter. And #sustainability is important. We all know that.

#Fediverse, for some non-rant background information, please refer to @echo_pbreyer who is tirelessly keeping us informed about the status of these, what you might call, just some Massively Expletive Policies (just some MEP's)

(And apologies for my rants.. it is just that in a world where so much is going on, we can do without this additional bizarre stuff)
@humanetech @EU_Commission I like the idea, let's create a startup and ask EU funds to finance it. Who is in?
After all, we need to keep the children safe.

@EU_Commission
Or should we wear an always-on microphone at all times that broadcasts our private conversations to some cloud so it can be analysed. And with the device conveniently bleeping when our discussion enters 'dangerous ground' according to the rules of the day?
