It's upsetting to read that the new Finnish pick for the European Commission has stated that she is for #ChatControl and would want to see it go through.
This is despite the Finnish Parliament, and many other governments, outright calling the proposal "mass surveillance".
Interesting times indeed.

[#]ChatControl did not go through today! It will be up for discussion though next week during a Minsters of Justice and Interior meeting.
Sounds like the same old story over and over again, but that’s by design. This is a battle of attrition; this proposal will be pushed forward at regular intervals until the public just gets sick of it. Once that happens, the hope is that it will just slip through.
When that happens, believe me, everyone is going to feel it.

Today the COREPER vote for whether #ChatControl will go forward is being held. It looks like Finland will be against it, but it'll be a close call, as always.
I'm just refreshing my feed and hoping for the best!

I've seen it mentioned elsewhere, but the very first thing I thought of when I read the headlines about what happened in Manhattan the other day was the anthology "Radicalized" by @pluralistic .
It's creepy seeing a story I read on the metro play out in meatspace like this.

Here it is: the Finnish Parliament has sided against #ChatControl !
I am overjoyed that in their statement, they have outlined exactly what this proposal would entail: mass surveillance in Europe.
From their statement (translation by me):
"..the suggested model would, in fact, lead to the mass surveillance of communication and would weaken the integrity of communication in the EU."

Looks like the final nail in the coffin for Chat Control in Finland !
The Constitutional committee has sided against the proposal. Looks like Finland is going to defend the future of privacy in Europe!

The Administration Committee of the Finnish Parliament (suom. hallintovaliokunta) has sided again ChatControl !
Despite claims that the compromise proposal would not weaken E2EE , the committee decided that the measures suggested could lead to circumventing encryption.
Mass surveillance has no place in Europe! We are being heard!

The reason I'm going gaga over this is due to a current, international push to undermine #encryption in the Western world. The key to this push is public fatigue: legislators will keep on trying to cram these laws through until the public is so numb to the issue that they finally do. Once encryption is compromised, it's compromised for good.

It might seem like all I think about is personal privacy since I'm posting about #ChatControl all the time. In reality, I'm usually thinking about what I'm going to eat next.

Finally a story in mainstream Finnish media that outlines why #ChatControl is a #privacy nightmare.
The article mentions multiple instances where government backdoors in various systems have lead to massive data breaches that had real-world consequences.
If you're having a conversation with anyone in #finland and you get told to "think of the children" when you express concern over ChatControl, send them a link to this article:

Our concerns are valid and we are being heard.
We went from a situation only 6 months ago where this issue was barely discussed in mainstream media in Finland to now where people are aware and angry that this kind of legislation is even being considered. This won't be swept under the carpet and forgotten ever again.
Any detailed review of #ChatControl exposes what this legislation entails: the mass survaillance of every citizen of the European Union.

The tide is turning in regards to Finland's support of #ChatControl !
After the decision on Finland's stance on Chat Control was deferred earlier this month, it was sent back to different committees for review.
Now the Transportation and Communications committee has sided against the proposal, stating that Chat Control would constitute widespread mass surveillance. ("...laajamittaista viestinnän massavalvontaa" in Finnish).

The decision on the stance of #Finland regarding #ChatControl is on hold.
The council responsible for this decision wants more time to go over the revised draft of the propsal and to make sure personal privacy is secure under the new law.
This is good news. The people responsible for this decision are beginning to understand what is at stake and what this would mean for the future of #privacy in #Europe.
We are being heard!

So the decision on Finland's stance in regards to #ChatControl is now on hold as there is a need to review the amended legislation.
I see this is good news as it means that the people involved in this decision want to dig into it. We are being heard!
