IMPORTANT NOTICE TO EU-CITIZEN: MOZILLA FOUNDATION: Tell the EU: Don’t Break Encryption with “Chat Control”
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO EU-CITIZEN
MOZILLA FOUNDATION: Tell the EU: Don’t Break Encryption with “Chat Control”

https://www.mozillafoundation.org/campaigns/tell-the-eu-dont-break-encryption-with-chat-control/


The European Union is pushing a dangerous surveillance law called “Chat Control” that would force tech companies to scan everyone’s private messages — even those protected by end-to-end encryption.

This proposal would force tech companies to use “client-side scanning” — so your private messages, photos, and files could be read before you send them, opening the door for hackers, corporations, and governments to spy on your data.

If passed, Chat Control won’t just weaken privacy — it will change the way we live online. Private conversations would no longer be private. Trust, security, and freedom on the internet would vanish.


The Mozilla community is urgently calling on EU policymakers to:

  • Protect encryption: Ensure that end-to-end encrypted services are fully excluded from any broad detection requirements.

  • Defend online security: Reject all measures that weaken encryption, violate the integrity of our devices or create new vulnerabilities in digital services.

  • Rely on expertise: Consult independent experts — cryptographers, child protection specialists, and fundamental rights advocates — to design solutions that are both technically sound and proportionate.


Sign Mozilla Foundation’s petition today to tell the EU: Drop Chat Control. Defend encryption. Protect our digital future.


Which encrypted apps and products would be impacted?

If passed, Chat Control would apply to messaging and storage services operating in the EU — even those using end-to-end encryption.

Apps like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, iMessage, and Messenger, plus cloud services like iCloud, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive, could all be forced to scan your private messages, photos, and files before they’re sent or stored.

That means no matter which service you use, your conversations and data could be opened up to surveillance.


VOTING RESULTS OF EU-STATES + CONSEQUENCES

Yeah. Mozilla doesn't want the EU breaking their own market on your data that they're stealing from their users.

gladly the majority of german leaders voted for "no", so far. it is on latest global news.

so far, 9 EU-States are against it, 12 EU-States are for it:

Lesson learned from:

1. Zey are scared of citizens hefing encryption
2. It musst be difficult or impossible to break
3. Updating ze device musst be avoided to prevent ze device scenning being installed

Now it's a better time than ever to switch to a FOSS email client using PGP encryption or a decentralised instant messaging protocol and FOSS client such as XMPP/Gajim.

They can enact such a law, but they'll have a hard time trying to enforce it on decentralized and federated services.

Case in point, stop using centralised instant messaging platforms because governments can easily control them with a law like this, especially proprietary IM services where you're relying on their word of mouth that there is no backdoors when it comes to their implementation of e2e encryption.

it already begins to switch over to Signal, instead to use WhatsApp or Telegram

WhatsApp may store all your messages for 30 days since summer 2023. nearly no one is aware of this, and Telegram is made in Russia, stored in Emirates .. RCS-Chat is (re-)coming

it already begins to delete any ALPHABET and META accounts .. you do not wanna know how many hidden but accessible settings there exist to track you etc .. if, then use BlueSky or other "trustworthy" Open Source software

it already begins to customize your smartphones and NOT to use Apple or any trojan hardware from China (Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, .. ) as they literally have access to (your) devices

it already begins to take care of your PC / Laptop, to use Firefox and NOT Chrome or similar

. . . way too much stuff needs to be considered nowaways .. but i am fine .. yet

the EU Parliament wants to take control over Signal and everything else now, how paradox it is as the EU has the worlds most customer laws ..

If this EU law comes into force, it will be the end of the last shred of “freedom of expression and speech.” The chain reaction that follows will be devastating...!!

As an IT professional, I would immediately start looking for other ways to completely isolate my devices... starting with so-called “custom ROMs” for Android devices, isolated Unix and Linux systems would boom among PC users, etc.

Then this freedom of custom ROMs and Linux would be blocked and outlawed... etc. etc... demographic and technological revolution = civil war, emigration..

I have used Signal-only since 2023, and Signal would rather shut down its service completely than submit to a government. This is stated openly and publicly in their FAQ.

be aware, not individual software and apps are infiltrated, but devices, programmed and locked into an OS code itself to have insight of your whole device / machine. a full state's ROOTKIT

9 to 12 ... this is very concerning ..

politicians wont be affected "of course", so these 12 states who agreed with that new law to have full control over a users device and machine suck ..

EU? I thought they were privacy fanatic up there with GDPR and all 'at. Oh well I guess not. Under the guise name of "child protection". Bunch of propaganda — so indeed go resist Chat Control.
