As a German citizen, I am deeply concerned about the proposed EU regulation on “chat control” and client-side scanning! This discussion has been ongoing for 3 years! Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Romania, and Hungary have already given in. If Germany folds, it would essentially allow private messages to be scanned on users devices. WITHOUT any concrete suspicion. Signal has already announced that it would leave Germany if chat control is implemented. Germany’s position is considered pivotal. And I truly hope that Germany make the right decision on October 14th! Implementing client-side scanning would not only endanger citizens privacy and undermine trust in digital communications. BUT ALSO pose a major threat to our democracy.
