DEATH OF PRIVACY: EU'S DICTATORSHIP CAN COME WITH A SUIT AND KIND WORDS By October 2025, your phone could become a state surveillance device, scanning every message, photo, email, and video before you send it. Encrypted apps? Irrelevant. Chat Control scans your content before encryption, making privacy impossible, just like East Germany’s Stasi, but automated and global. An AI decides what’s “suspicious,” compares your private data to secret government lists, and automatically reports you to authorities, even though 80% of those alerts are false. No judge, no warrant, no context, just a machine watching everything you do, 24/7. This isn’t fighting crime. It’s digital authoritarianism, at a scale that would make the KGB jealous.
