IMPORTANT UPDATE 🇧🇪 Belgium now SUPPORTS the compromise proposal IN PRINCIPLE, despite contradicting promises to citizens: reverts to UNDECIDED. 🇮🇹 Italy is UNDECIDED, expressing doubts on including new CSAM in scope. 🇱🇻 Latvia is UNDECIDED but assesses the text positively, pending national support.

Opposition to Chat Control within Denmark is growing. Fast. If you are a Danish citizen, please consider signing the Chat Control petition:

Nej til EU’s “Masseovervågning” beskyt vores privatliv, digitale sikkerhed og ytringsfrihed.

Vi beder Danmark om at stemme nej til EU’s “Chatkontrol” en lov, der pålægger masseovervågning af alle borgere ...

At 50 000 signatures, it is automatically submitted to the parliament and undergoes the standard legislative process, including potential debates, review, and vote.

Germany's position has been reverted to UNDECIDED. Despite expressing concerns about breaking end-to-end encryption, Germany refrained from taking a definitive stance on the Chat Control proposal during the September 12th LEWP meeting. A willingness to negotiate and compromise remains. This is an unfortunate development as Germany is crucial to defeating Chat Control. Please make your voices heard!
