"Right now, the EU Commission is intensely working on a legislative proposal that would monitor and audit the communication of all European Union citizens. The regulation is called Chat Control, and it really does include all types of communication. This means that all of your phone calls, video calls, text messages, every single line that you write in all kinds of messaging apps (including encrypted services), your e-mails — yes, all of this — can be filtered out in real time and flagged for a more in-depth review. This also applies to images and videos saved in cloud services. Basically, everything you do with your smartphone. In other words, your personal life will be fully exposed to government scrutiny. So, why is it that almost no one is talking about this?"

I am in Spain. There is literally no resistance in Europe any more. People will be adopting the new set of commie rules. The rest will emigrate. It's really a mess

There will be pushback in some countries. Some countries simply won't be able to afford to do it, or have entrenched corruption that will weaken it so much it's ineffective. I know for sure Bulgaria will give lip service to it and pocket the money, that's the culture there. And they have way more bandwidth per capita than the rest of europe, and much of it crosses the black sea and into Turkey. It's in their best interests to not be cooperative but to give lip service, since half the internet cables cross their land.
There may be crackdowns in the more fascist places, like yours, and this is sad, but the more liberal and privacy oriented the culture, in general, the less impact it will have.
They are just driving nails into the almost completely sealed coffin of the EU, and guaranteeing a substantial exodus from the already more totalitarian governments jurisdictions.
The fundamental error in their thinking comes from the fact that the most innovative people tend to also be the most unconventional, and those people are already on the alert. The brains will migrate to where their capabilities are valued and the ones that stay behind will do nothing to improve the already failing economies of europe.

Good view. Meanwhile we are forming a new type of monetary, peaceful and intellectual superior resistance that will attract more and more people at the upcoming turning point. Greets from the fu..ing cold costa del sol (15 degrees and sunshine which saves me today)

Why are you scared shit? Ohhh you are just a child crying?
When you will be an adult and stand your ground as a sovereign man?
IS SO FUCKING SIMPLE, instead of crying like a baby
You came here crying about "what we are going to do, EU is gonna shut down my shit chat"... but then you go and vote, pay the taxes, get a gov subsidy and use their damn govID.
Is damn simple: say the one word: NO.

This is why I'm building Indranet. And the USA already did this, and calls hits on people based purely on signal metadata, the cost of imposing backdoors is not only prohibitive but unneccessary to impose their power.
