As an EU citizen what can I do about it? Patrick Breyer's last call to action about Chat Control lead to almost nothing: only the Netherlands and Germany voted against, and barely at that.
- AnssiH 5y agoIf an actual proposal comes out that would introduce mandatory screening, convince your representatives to vote against it. There is no such proposal as of yet. In my opinion, the last regulation applied in July 2021 was sound (final text: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32021R1232 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A...), allowing a 3-year extension to the existing practice of voluntary screening until a proper legislation can be finalized. Some would have wanted to completely disallow voluntary screening (which would have been the case had the regulation not been adopted, due to privacy law changes in Dec 2020), too, and I can understand that position. But that is seemingly not shared by European Parliament who voted to allow voluntary screening to continue (they did shorten the time period to 3 years from the original 5, though, by an amendment).
