They are moving fast these days, very fast. One has to assume that, just as at the end of 2019 when Covid was introduced to inflate the currency, we are again facing a massive liquidity crisis in the financial markets, so quickly and at breathtaking speed, these socialists and elitists will now have to set up a surveillance state.
The European Union is inching closer to a controversial regulation that could end the privacy of digital communications as we know it. In a move framed as a safeguard against child sexual exploitation material (CSEM), the EU Commission is pushing a proposal that would mandate automatic scanning of all private chats, messages, and emails for suspicious content.
If passed, this legislation would transform the digital landscape into one of mass surveillance, where every conversation is subject to scrutiny. This goes beyond the current voluntary measures, which already allow providers to scan communications to combat CSEM. The proposed regulation would make such scanning mandatory, leaving little room for personal privacy.
As of now, 19 EU member states support the proposal, 5 have abstained, and only Germany and Poland stand in opposition. The matter is slated for discussion in October, with a final decision expected in December.

Dang. That's insane.
What are the steps that people are taking now, to ensure they have some private means of communication now that this is being seriously proposed?
What apps, protocols, are people experimenting with?

As it looks to me: they are frozen. 99% really have no idea what's going on.

i'm surprised Germany is against this, they are usually first in line with a cum funnel strapped to their mouths ready to suck up every last drop of repressive poison and green mania nonsense.
more people need to get on nostr or go more hardcore if they want any kind of privacy left

EU is losing its mind around these topics. Europe used to be the continent of ideas, liberalism and openness. Hundred years ago brilliant poets, writers, artists, journalists and scientists were freely sharing ideas and art with each other. Even if belonging to hostile countries. Even during WW1 and WW2.
And people used to have more privacy, citizens used to seek privacy. Now it seems people are only happy to be able to share their nudes freely with the world as if it was the sublime manifestation of freedom.
Ayr Rand wrote in For The New Intellectual that
civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
We're headed to the reinvention of Tribes

I was wondering about the practicalities of this. If I'm outside of the EU, and I email, message or post something directly to my contact in the EU, what would be the implication? Same treatment of scanning as EU - EU?
Happy to see that Both Germany and Austria are opposing this disgusting and pointless proposal. Disappointed that so many other members are ready to fall into authoritarianism.

It's getting complicated. They want to control everything. Here the saying "the just pay for the sinners" applies.
We have the right to privacy. The justification is child pornography, which I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH. It's an abuse.
The point is that all citizens can be investigated and their communications scanned. It's a big problem. The question is whether they are really interested in fighting against Child Sexual Exploitation? Or is it just a justification to violate citizen privacy.
