Privacy isn't just about protecting your own data, it's also about you protecting the data of others. We all have a responsibility to protect each other. Do not neglect this, or minimize the impact you may have. Always ask for consent before sharing the data of others. Never assume. This is a responsibility we all have towards each other: #Privacy #Safety #Security #Trust #Consent
Some days, I wake up and I'm just mad at AI. Thankfully, I have a shirt for this now. It helps. #NoAI
Good news! Your action worked! :awesome: πŸŽ‰ Germany will be OPPOSING the Chat Control proposition! This (for now) secures a blocking minority to stop this horrifying proposal for mass surveillance. But keep the pressure on! ✊πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί The final vote will be on October 14th and many things could change until then. Keep contacting your representatives to tell them to oppose (or keep opposing) Chat Control, as soon as you can. The blocking vote should be as large as possible to ensure this Orwellian nightmare never becomes reality. Let's change this blocking minority into a blocking majority! We can do it! :ablobcatnod: πŸ’š #ChatControl #HumanRights #EUpol
If you've seen my posts in the past weeks, you've seen me post about Chat Control πŸ—£οΈ If case you don't know what this is about, here's a short summary of the issue: What is Chat Control? 🫒 πŸ‘οΈβ€πŸ—¨οΈ "Chat Control" refers to a series of legislative proposals in the European Union that would make it mandatory for all service providers (text messaging, email, social media, cloud storage, hosting services, etc.) to scan all digital communications and files (including end-to-end encrypted ones), in order to supposedly detect whatever the government deems "abusive material." This would also affect people outside of Europe, in one way or another :blobcat_thisisfine: 🚨 This Friday, September 12th, EU countries will finalize their positions on the matter 🚨 Sadly, many countries currently support this proposition for unprecedented mass surveillance. You can learn more about it, and what you can do to help, in this article πŸ‘‡ #Privacy #HumanRights #MassSurveillance #Democracy #DigitalRights #ChatControl

When people stay passive and do nothing, When people think the battle is already lost, This is how authoritarianism and fascism win, Without even a fight.
