If you want to keep using @signalapp in the EU, say no to #ChatControl

@aral @signalapp For a list of EU representatives that EU citizens can contact: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/full-list
@lihram @aral @signalapp It is even more important now do contact the member countries MEPs because we still need to create a blocking minority in the EU council.
One organization in Sweden, @konstellationen, sent some questions to all the parties in the parlament.
Here are the questions translated to English:
https://konstellationen.org/2024/09/12/chat-control-en/
And they also encouraged people to email the parties.
Would be nice if more organizations did that
@samuel @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen only problem is that too many meps are far right nationalists.
@FinalOverdrive @samuel @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen Are they support chat control in Europe?
@evgandr @samuel @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen Wouldn't know but I suspect so.
@FinalOverdrive @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen Well, gve it a try.
Weirdly enough the far right nationalists in Sweden have a good stance against Chat Control while the social democrats are the ones most for it.
It will make a change if people email. Especially liberals who should be against Chat Control but won't have the courage if they don't know people demand privacy
@lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen I translated the post to English:
@samuel @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen
I think we need to talk to the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Justice. The voting will happen on that level. MEPs have nothing to do in this case. It's the representatives from the countries on that level or Coreper II.
@bogo @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen That is true. But in Sweden at least, the minister needs to have the parliament support.
The issue was raised at the Justice Committee’s meeting in the Swedish parliament on 18 June. It was about whether Sweden would stand behind Belgium’s compromise proposal..
However, the goverment was very sneaky and didn't send out documents beforhand. The MEP:s got the info on the meeting. Two parties who are against missed that they should oppose.
@samuel @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen ah I understand. We in Bulgaria are fighting as well ...
