Every surveillance system in history was built for a good reason. None of them stopped there.
Today, the EU begins its final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0, and the threat to your privacy isn’t over. Mandatory scanning of encrypted messages? Off the table, but the Council is still pushing for mandatory identity verification to use messaging apps, including end-to-end encrypted ones.
Privacy is not a tool for hiding wrongdoing.
It is a necessary condition for free thought, free expression, and free relationships.
The real question isn’t only whether to monitor private communications. It’s what kind of digital society Europe wants to build.
But Europe is its citizens. This question belongs to us. We can’t keep outsourcing centuries of hard-won civilization.
One “necessary exception” at a time.
