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."

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).

Switzerland issues a preliminary report on the compatibility of the European Child Sexual Abuse regulation and Swiss law.
The report expresses concerns that client-side content scanning obligations are likely violating Swiss law.
Additional measures will need to be put in place to protect Swiss Internet users if such regulation is passed by the EU

@ibestuur @bert_hubert Fijn, die aandacht in iBestuur en een helder artikel. Voor wie het niet weet: om nog wat dieper op alle aspecten in te gaan, praat ik er uitgebreid over tijdens #Wiccon. Technische details en problemen, bredere impact (het gaat b.v. ook over controle van laptop en zakelijke chats). Ik maak me zorgen over 10 oktober.

MEPs on the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs will meet with outgoing EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson this afternoon.
Write your country’s members on LIBE committee to urge the withdrawal of the proposed chat control legislation.

Send them a link to my article (in thread earlier) imagining the first year of cascading consequences if chat control becomes law.
What happens if the proposed EU chat control regulation passes?
This series of news reports and press releases imagines the first year of cascading consequences.
It illustrates how the well-intentioned-but-flawed proposal will make detecting child abuse imagery more difficult while harming innocent people, national security, and the EU’s digital sovereignty.
Please share. The EU resumes discussions of the proposal today.

@ton @ianb Personally, I trust #Apple far more than any other provider in terms of technology – and even more than the #EU, which just narrowly avoided #chatcontrol. (And tomorrow, it will probably be back on the agenda.) The EU should rather ban #statetrojans; that would truly make sense.

A bit more info on chat control: Ireland will vote for the proposal, Czechia will abstain, spokespersons confirmed to me.

After reading this detailed article about who will gain from the #EU and other governments introducing mandatory "client-side scanning" tech, it all starts to make sense:
This tech will target everyone, won't protect anyone, and is trivial for real criminals to bypass.
We need to give people and children safer spaces online. But #ChatControl does the opposite. Randomly sending personal chats to third parties for "review" is not a step forward for our society.
Het verbreken van end-to-end encryptie is een rampzalig voorstel. Het voorstel van de EU ondermijnt de vertrouwelijkheid van communicatie, ook al claimen sommigen dat encryptie beschermd blijft.

Encore une lettre ouverte contre la dernière proposition au Conseil sur le #ChatControl - cette fois par des associations de l'industrie, qui soulignent les dangers du #ClientSideScanning et d'un 'consentement' non-conforme à la législation européenne...
Auch die Industrie protestiert gegen den neuesten #ChatControl-Vorstoß und ist der Meinung, dass eine „Upload-Moderation“ auf ein gefährliches #ClientSideScanning hinausläuft und eine erzwungene „Einwilligung“ illegal ist.

@ton Just to remind you what this discussion started with:
#Signal has made it clear again that they want to leave the #EU market if #chatcontrol is enforced against them. We would then lose one of the few #GDPR-compliant messengers.
And in view of such absurdities, do you consider excessive haste and uncertainty on far more important issues to be the most sensible approach?
#Chatcontrol has to be stopped.
For most people their phones are now extensions of themselves. Allowing the government into your phone just to make sure you're not doing anything they don't like is profoundly invasive.
Ask yourself if technology starts to allow reading human thoughts directly from their brain would you want precedent that doing so is OK on the chance of stopping child abuse?
@ton @technews In the worst case, we will have a very conservative to far-right #commission in the future. I hope #Europeans will vote wiser on Sunday, but the forecasts don't look good. And #vonderLeyen, aka #Zensursula, will certainly be very eager to further tighten #chatcontrol with even more willing coalition partners. It's creepy.
