A community for Lemmy users interested in privacy
Rules:
Chat control mandates a piece of software on your device that spies on what you do and sends that to the government and their partners.
Chat control does not protect children.
Chat control is a way for governments to stay in front of any dissent and organizing efforts from it's citizens. This makes it safer and easier to take away rights and ultimately gives a path away from democracy.
Honestly so many nations are in the same page with this, I think it's preparation for wartime.
You need to not only he able to track down foreign agents, but also yeah strangle dissent and control the narrative.
Not saying it's good one way or the other, but everyone trying to do a similar (hated) thing at the same time is way too coincidental.
I've heard that war is good for business.
Lots of huge corporation owners are suffering from making a long series of head-up-their-own-ass stupid choices, right now.
Now they must choose between hiring experienced advisors to guide a slow chain of reasonable pro-social long term profitable choices - or starting a bloody war.
I know which choice I'm expecting.
If all parents checked their children device just a bit... I'm struggling to block some yt channels now for example either via DNS or family link, but there's no way. Help parents do these kind of things instead of letting govs go the privacy breach way to make us dumb citizens.
This has nothing to do with children. It's a proposal by technologically inept people who argue that encryption needs to be removed but encryption is so basic that it isn't really feasible to do so. You can make the access harder but that is only an issue for your average joe. Individuals with criminal energy who this is supposed to be about will continue to encrypt their communication while regular users will give up their privacy.

I really hate modern media. What's wrong with criticise, condemn, or even denounce?
Back to IRC then I guess?
Signal, Matrix...
If Matrix was here, he’d laugh too.
So back to IRC?
