Take action to stop chat control now!


Chat control is back on the agenda of EU governments. They will discuss “progress” on 10/11 October and are to endorse it on 12/13 December.
In June we managed to stop the unprecedented plan by an extremely narrow “blocking minority” of EU governments: Chat control proponents achieved 63.7% of the 65% of votes threshold required in the Council of the EU for a qualified majority.

Several formerly opposed governments such as France have already given up their opposition. Several still critical governments are only asking for small modifications (e.g. searching for “known content” only or excluding end-to-end encryption) which would still result in mass searches and leaks of our private communications. Therefore there is a real threat that the required majority for mass scanning of private communications may be achieved at any time under the current Hungarian presidency (Hungary being a supporter of the proposal).

That is why we now need to get involved and raise our voices to our governments and raise awareness in the wider population.
→ Previously supportive governments must be convinced to change their minds
→ Critical governments need to be pushed to demand comprehensive changes, as proposed by the European Parliament, and not just minor changes to the proposal.

In the absence of such fundamental revision, the proposal should be rejected altogether.
Sharepic showing a map of Europe. "Help Stop #ChatControl! Is your government opposing yet?" Showing most of the EU coloured in red, for "in favour" of chatcontrol. "Act now! www.chatcontrol.eu" and the logo of the European Pirates and the Greens Group of the European Parliament.
This map (feel free to share online!) visualises EU governments positions on chat control in June, also summarised in the table below. It helps you understand where your government stands and can help you start your journey as a digital rights advocate against chat control in your country. You will find some helpful resources below.

Is your government in favour?
→ Ask for an explanation and for your government to revert its course.

Is your government abstaining?
→ Ask why and demand that they take a strong stance against chat control.

Is your government opposing?
→ Great, but take a closer look at the reasoning: Some governments like Germany e.g. only object to the scanning of encrypted communications, but are fine with the indiscriminate scanning of other private and public communication, with the end of anonymous communication by requiring age verification, or with introducing a minimum age for “risky” communication apps. Also critical governments need to do more, exert their influence in the Council of the EU and agree on a joint list of necessary fundamental changes to the proposal. Absent such revision they should ask the European Commission to withdraw the chat control proposal as it stands.

CroatiaSlovenia
CyprusCzech Republic

Hungary
Ireland

Latvia
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Malta
Portugal
Romania
Slovakia
Spain
Sweden

Take action now


These are ideas for what you can do in the short-term or with some
preparation. Start with:

  • Ask you government to call on the European Commission to withdraw the chat control proposal. Point them to a joint letter that was recently sent by children’s rights and digital rights groups from across Europe. Click here to find the letter and more information.
  • Check your government’s position (see above) and, if they voted in favour or abstained, ask them to explain why. Tell them that as a citizen you want them to reject the proposal, that chat control is widely criticised by experts and that none of the proposals tabled in the Council of the EU so far are acceptable. Ask them to protect the privacy of your communication and your IT security.
  • Share this call to action online.

When reaching out to your government, the ministries of the interior (in the lead) of justice and of digitisation/telecommunications/economy are your best bet. You can additionally contact the permanent representation of your country with the EU.

It can also be useful to reach out to Members of your national Parliament who can determine your country’s vote. Talk to your political representatives. Whether it is the newly elected MEPs of the European Parliament or local groups of the political parties: make sure everyone is aware of what chat control is about and that you expect politicians to defend your fundamental rights against the proposal!

When contacting politicians, writing a real letter, calling in or attending a local party event or visiting a local office to have a conversation will have a stronger impact than writing an e-mail. You can find contact details on their websites. Just remember that while you should be determined in your position, remain polite, as they will otherwise disregard what you have to say. Here is useful argumentation on chat control. And here is argumentation for why the minor modifications so far envisioned by EU governments fail to address the dangers of chat control: by us, by EDRi, by CDT.

As we continue the fight against against chat control, we need to expand the resistance:

  • Explain to your friends why this is an important topic. This short video, translated to all European languages, is a good start – feel free to use and share it. Also available on PeerTube (EN) and .
  • Taking action works better and is more motivating when you work together. So try to find allies and form alliances. Whether it is in a local hackspace or in a sports club: your local action group against chat control can start anywhere. Then you can get creative and decide which type of action suits you best.

Take action now. We are the resistance against chat control!

Heraus zum anarchistischen 1. Mai 2024!


Aufruf: dd.fau.org/2024/04/10/heraus-z…
#dd0105 #dresden #anarchismus #1mai #mayday

Wir arbeiten. Tag für Tag, Jahr für Jahr. Egal ob Zuhause, im Betrieb, in Uni oder Ausbildung. Doch dabei ist es für uns nicht nur Arbeit, sondern immer auch ein Kampf.

Wir kämpfen für bessere Lohne, kämpfen gegen patriarchale Verhältnisse in reproduktiver und Carearbeit, kämpfen für sozial gerechte und selbstbestimmte Bildung, kämpfen in einem Staat der Stück für Stück autoritärer und repressiver wird und immer mehr nach rechts rückt.

Kämpfen weil uns nichts anderes mehr bleibt! Es ist wieder soweit. Wie letztes Jahr wollen wir auch dieses Jahr mit Euch zusammen auf die Straße gehen. Verändert hat sich seitdem vieles. Und irgendwie ist es trotzdem immer noch die gleiche Scheiße.

Der Autoritarismus ist auch 2024 weiter auf dem Vormarsch. In Russland, Argentinien, selbst im Dresdner Stadtrat. Alles wird immer schlimmer und ist doch irgendwie schon Normalität. Gleichzeitig erleben wir endlich wirksame Streiks und medial sichtbaren Arbeitskampf.

Und dass, obwohl mit größter Mühe versucht wird diesen Arbeitskampf vor der Bevölkerung zu delegitimieren. Die Reaktion auf die Streiks der GDL sind ein Beispiel für den Versuch eine solidarische Organisierung im Arbeitsalltag zu unterbinden.

Ein anderes Beispiel, wo wir die Ignoranz gegenüber menschlichen Arbeitsbedingungen sehen, ist in unmittelbarer Nähe das Teslawerk in Brandenburg. Neben katastrophalen Arbeitsbedingungen wurde hier unter anderem erfolglos versucht, die Wahl eines Betriebsrates zu unterbinden. Was hier zum Glück nicht gelungen ist, gelingt leider viel zu oft besonders international, in Ländern wo viele in unmenschlichen Arbeitsbedingungen arbeiten müssen.

Die Mehrfach-Ausbeutung von vielen Frauen, Trans*, inter und nicht-binären Menschen, durch eine gesellschaftliche Zuschreibung zur Reproduktions- sowie Carearbeit sowie die Machtverhältnisse im Patriarchat dürfen wir dabei nicht vergessen.

Jene eigentlich größten und wichtigsten Arbeiten sind in dieser Gesellschaft scheiße oder gar nicht bezahlt. Man kann zwar sehen, dass sich mehr Menschen zu einem Feminismus bekennen, doch Handlungen wachsen daraus nicht.

Wir brauchen aber Handlungen! Wir brauchen einen revolutionären und keinen bürgerlichen Feminismus! Schön war es zu sehen wie viele wir beim Feministischen Kampftag am 8.März waren, der Schulstreik, die Kundgebung und die abschließende Demonstration geben Kraft.

Diese müssen wir nutzen denn zeitgleich erstarken Antifeministische und trans*feindliche Bewegungen welche Teil des rechten Kulturkampfes sind und weit in bürgerliche Kreise reichen. Dabei ist das Zuhause einer der zentralen Austragungsorte.

Lasst uns diesen Bewegungen, aber auch den gesellschaftlichen Machtverhältnissen in diesem System, geschlossen den Kampf ansagen! Lasst uns unser Zusammeleben selbstbestimmt und gerecht gestalten und den Kapitalismus und das Patriarchat überwinden!

Wir brauchen gesellschaftliche Gegenmacht! Um diese aufzubauen, müssen wir uns organisieren. Kommt deshalb am 1. Mai mit uns auf die Straße zum Austausch, zur Vernetzung und um deinem Kampf Ausdruck und Sichtbarkeit zu verleihen.

Auch dieses Jahr wird es eine Demonstration mit Abschlusskundgebung geben, wo wir in aller Ruhe zwischen Reden, Lektüre und Leckereien ins Gespräch kommen können. Heraus zum 1. Mai: Wer wenn nicht wir? Wann wenn nicht jetzt?

Thank you Wojmir for the 10 Euros donation! Let us remind you that we desperately need help to fund our backups for all of our projects. We need to raise 300 Euros in less than 2 weeks. tromsite.com/trom-backup/

To keep on doing trade-free things in a trade-based world is a fight that requires a lot of struggles, almost like swimming against a tsunami. But what is the alternative? Give up and not do anything? That's by far the easiest solution since the water current will push you into the "normal" direction. But for now we are still trying with TROM. We have reached many thousands of minds and with very little funding required. Thus, if you think TROM is still relevant, consider to support it since I (Tio) cannot push it all by myself.

Big thanks to the few people who are still supporting TROM, financially or not.

[RASSEMBLEMENT] Contre les usines polluantes


Une mobilisation aura lieu demain à 19h45 sur le parking de la mairie (Epuisay 41360) contre la construction d'une usine à enrobé à chaud. Toujours plus de bitume, encore moins de lieu sain où vivre.

Immer wieder sprechen Politiker*innen von "illegaler" Migration oder der "illegalen" Einreise. Damit versuchen sie zu suggerieren, es gäbe legale Fluchtwege für Schutz suchende Menschen und die "illegal" eingereisten Geflüchteten hätten kein Recht darauf, hier bei uns Schutz zu suchen.

Dabei ist das Gegenteil der Fall. Niemand wagt die tödliche Reise über das Mittelmeer, wenn er auch in ein Flugzeug steigen könnte.

Die Genfer #Flüchtlingskonvention regelt unmissverständlich, dass jeder Mensch das Recht hat, in einem anderen Staat Schutz zu ersuchen und dafür Staatsgrenzen übertreten darf. #Deutschland und 148 andere Staaten haben sich verpflichtet, einen #Grenzübertritt dabei nicht unter Strafe zu stellen.

⛔️🇮🇹 #Lampedusa ist eine Krise *verursacht durch #Italien *.

2015 gab es 150.000 Anlandungen, aber nur 9.000 kamen auf Lampedusa an.

Heute sind es 160.000, aber 100.000 landen auf Lampedusa.

Warum? Es wurde aufgehört, aktiv zu retten. Das ist alles.

Zur Verdeutlichung:
#GeoBarents🚢🇳🇴 von #MSF rettete gestern 471 Menschen, weitere 700 sind an Bord der #Diciotti🚢 der #GuardiaCostiera⚓️🇮🇹. Hätte es diese Rettungsaktionen nicht gegeben, wäre Lampedusa heute noch überlasteter.
