🚨 #ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨 After the EU parliament has rejected #ChatControl TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. TODAY the EU parliament has voted YES for #ChatControl 1.0😡 The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start. This is not democratic‼️ What does #ChatControl 1.0 mean for us now? 🚩 Every photo, every message, every file you send will be scanned by Big Tech automatically 🚩 Mass surveillance of 450 million EU citizen without warrants 🚩 Every citizen is put under general suspicion Here's what you can do to stay private on the internet: ✅ Use end-to-end encrypted messengers & email (like Signal or Tuta Mail) ✅ Use Linux instead of Windows & Apple ✅ Switch to GraphenOS or LineageOS It's a sad day for the privacy of EU citizens but we will not let this stop us from continuing to fight for what is right. At Tuta, we will continue to provide end-to-end encrypted email to everyone, and we will continue to fight for everyone's right to communicate without surveillance.
