The EU Commission wants to monitor all the citizens of the European union.

The law proposal is called – and now is the time to stop it

We took the debate to the streets of Sweden, during the country’s EU-presidency.

Take a look at mullvad.net/chatcontrol/campai

@mullvadnet +9001%

Any bulk mass-surveillance is inhumane and not only illegal but against the core values of the EU and human rights.

The sheer tenacity to propose such a facist instrument after the end of the Nazis and GDR is so abhorrent it makes my blood boil.

@kkarhan @mullvadnet Well, that #chatcontrol law proposal is in line with what States and the GAFAM corporations have been doing for the last 30 years: pretend that "full transparency" is inherent to democracy. The same applies to the " #CBDC 's " that are being rolled out in more and more countries.

imo, our duty is to explain that, just like the natural law of gravity doesn't give any space to freedom when we fall off a window, societies with full #transparency are hells.

@ijatz_La_Hojita @mullvadnet The problem is that said " #transparency " is usually just facist #PoliceState and not actual #accountability and #consequences.

Personally, I think a it like #WikiLeaks in that regard and demand that individuals should have enshired #privacy rights and the more power one wields, the more transparency and accountability they should face.

I think the public has a right to know what their elected representatives [on national level] do 24/7....

@mullvadnet You mean “make democratic decisions,” not “take democratic decisions.” “Ta beslut” == ”make a decision.”

@wilander

Actually both are correct. Take a decision equates to a decision you make swiftly, which suits this. We want them to make decisions quickly since they should be obvious.

In contrast, make a decision is more likely relatable to something you need to spend a long time thinking about.

Take a decision: coffee or tea?
Make a decision: move to Sweden or not?

A native English speaker reviewed the copy, so I know it is correct personally! 😉

@mullvadnet @wilander At first I understood it like “take your democratic decisions with you” 😆

@mullvadnet There's an attempt to do the same thing every year or two. The perseverance on this is ridiculous.

@mullvadnet

Buu huu.
David Hasselhoff gonna read your messages...

So many intelligence agencys have done it for years and years and AI will take over it soon.

@mullvadnet It would be a big step towards a Black Mirror dystopian future

@mullvadnet @digitalcourage Gibts schon Überlegungen sowas hier in der Art zu machen? :D

@mullvadnet

Thank you Mullvad !

In these troubles times, it's good to hear some raised voices, make you feel that you're not alone and crazy.

@mullvadnet lemme guess, politicians and rich people are exempt from this. Another veiled creeping fascism.
