I cant even think of any legit reason to do this. To protect children? The government does not care about children. Its why so many suffer in poverty. Watching tits online is the least of their problems.
The only reasons i can think of is control. Forcing people to give up more information about themselves. Because knowledge is power.
If a government says they’re doing something “for the children” or “to fight terrorism”, it’s neither of those things - it’s for control. Those are just the go-to reasons they use to push them through because they can push the narrative that anyone against it supports terrorism/child abuse.
Is there any way to fight chat control in the EU?
Email your MEPs, push back on the narrative that it protects children. IF it even did protect children it would be at the cost of any semblamce of privacy. Politicians are also exempt despite a pedo politician leading a major world power right now.
I got an immediate response explaining their stance is based almost entirely around the disemination of csam.
It is a noble goal but akin to ending traffic deaths by mandating getting and checking the coast is clear every 10 meters.
If you go to chatcontrol.eu you will find more info about chat control and how to fight against it.
