Thanks to more than 100 civil society groups joined us in speaking out against this proposal. So did thousands of individuals who signed the petition demanding that the EU “Stop Scanning Me.”

The LIBE comity has changed it's stance towards the on device scanning and message scanning.

The text is not final, but scheduled to confirm the new agreement on the 13th of November.

Parliament's position on the proposed law will now be against chat control, but the fight is not over: next we have to negotiate with member states. It's vital we keep the pressure on governments to end this madness.

We have to wait and see for eIDAS, let's hope with the changes to eIDAS dead, we'll have at least a few years of the Commission not proposing some dumb surveillance shit

I thought they were on to do something with that article 45 that has something to do with CA certificates. When did they go back and decide not to do it?

That one is a lost battle, alas. We'll have to hack our browsers to make them secure, or download them via VPNs from the US.

It still has to pass the vote beginning of next year.
