Fuck Me in the Hell

I usually don't get into politics because A, I'm rarely fully informed, B, doesn't affect where I live so the little info gathered gets later, and C, I don't get most of things, I'm so dumb with this type of stuff. They use fancy words that I don't understand.

There are 40 beautiful people following this empty blog (I love you guys), and even if it's not much compared to the people I follow, that's 40 informed people that will spread the word, and that'll be even more people informed.

So Europe's dying to get into your messages, what you send and talk about, and even want to associate your socials with passport and identification so they're fucking sure it was you who said something not especially harmful but that people with different opinions will drown when reading it. No matter if you're just chilling with a friend or... I dunno, criticising a government's poor choices, which honestly, who hasn't?

The worst thing is that it's not the first time they tried it, it's the second. You think Europe's so good and democratic, well this is a step closer to north Korea or China. And yes, that's a bit of an exaggeration and my paranoia talking at 2:25 am, but fuck, reading your fucking messages without you wanting to. What's next? I forgot if it was in china or North Korea, but if you texted something in a 'private' conversation that their government would not like, your message was not sent or it was deleted. Not on social media. In their own fucking version of WhatsApp.

They also want to put cameras in your cars. What's next? In my house? In my bathroom? Do I have to shove a mic up my ass so you can hear me complaining how much I hate what I'm realising?

And they did it on summer vacation, between the football, who is gonna pay attention to have your discord, WhatsApp, Telegram and other socials you can talk through completely watched and controlled when today was Spain versus Belgium?

I'm not saying they're the only people with powers that announce things like this when there's a big distraction. They told you, it was YOUR problem you didn't know, that you didn't go to the streets and stand up for the basic privilege of privacy. At least my government does that too, dunno about yours.

I don't know if this got approved, I'm not religious but if you are, pray for it to not be approved.

I got all this info from a video on YouTube (down below, when I finish rambling, most I'm saying it's basically what she said) and my friends mentioned it in my group chat but only barely.

And I'm pissed because I'm European, this affects me, and for me, it's not the first time.

A few months ago, in my country, telegram informed that minors under 16 would lose the right to be in social media AND YES SOCIAL MEDIA IS WHATSAPP, YOUTUBE, PINTEREST, THIS BEAUTIFUL APP AND ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN PUT SOMETHING AND HAVE AT LEAST ONE PEOPLE TO REACT (my friends told me cuz I don't have telegram so I didn't receive it). Few months later, my government wanted to implement a thingy that detected 'hate speeches' and reported them or something. But how can you train an AI to stop hate when the person who is making it runs more a circus and a reality show than a fucking government? When you also impulse hate speeches towards your rivals? It's only natural they bite back. What can my government consider a hate speech? Saying 'oohh I hate how bad the government is handling my country' or some shit is considered a hate speech? It's only when it's from the rival? Because they seem to think so. But if it's the people talking, then what are you doing? Silencing them?

I also don't know if any of the two in my country got approved. Or if they are not the only ones.

Anyway sorry for the ramble, I'm just so pissed at how people with more money and power than us think they can control us while we just stand fucking helpless.

I put colours because that's a lot of text and I don't want to tire your sight with the same colour.

Please stay informed and save.

Love you guys, take care 😘

“Today, the European Parliament allowed the suspicionless mass scanning of private communications (“Chat Control 1.0”) to pass, a measure it had rejected twice in March.

Although a majority of voting Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) actually opposed the regulation (314 against, 276 in favor, 17 abstentions), the motion to reject it failed to secure the required absolute majority of 361 votes.

As a result, mass scanning is now permitted again until 2028.”

“A symbolic exemption was adopted for encrypted communications—though in practice, service providers do not scan these anyway.

Furthermore, while a majority of voting MEPs wanted to restrict the scanning of private communications strictly to suspects identified by the judiciary (322 to 255 votes), this amendment likewise fell short of the required absolute majority.”

Dr. Patrick Breyer, civil rights activist and former Member of the European Parliament (MEP), warns of the consequences: “The fact that Chat Control is moving forward against the will of the majority of voting MEPs is a farce and damages democracy. Our children are the real losers in this undemocratic process.

The passage of a genuine, permanent child protection regulation is now in serious jeopardy. The Council will never agree to a desperately needed paradigm shift as long as they can simply stick to the old approach of suspicionless scanning at the whim of the tech industry.”

Despite the legislative defeat, Breyer remains defiant regarding the upcoming negotiations: “Today’s vote on the interim regulation was a setback, but the political battle over the permanent ‘Chat Control 2.0’ is just getting started.

The resistance we saw in Parliament today was so strong that finding a majority for permanent, suspicionless mass scanning in future negotiations is a complete pipe dream.”

what’s next?

“The interim regulation passed today will remain in effect until 2028, or until an agreement on a permanent regulation is reached. Negotiations for the permanent law will resume in September.

The core dispute between the EU Parliament, member state governments, and the EU Commission remains the scanning of private chats: should it be indiscriminate, or targeted at criminal suspects?”

“Talk of averting a “protection gap” is therefore highly misleading.

The most effective law enforcement tools—court-ordered wiretaps, user reports, and the scanning of public platforms and cloud storage—were never at risk and remain fully intact.

The only practice that was temporarily banned since April was the indiscriminate, warrantless searching of private, unencrypted messages of innocent people on a handful of US platforms.”

talks over permanent

“In parallel, negotiations are ongoing for a permanent regulation to protect children from sexualized online violence (the “CSAM Regulation” or “Chat Control 2.0”)

In these talks, the EU Parliament is pushing for a paradigm shift in how we approach online child safety, demanding:

Mandatory, targeted detection orders against actual criminal suspects, rather than blanket mass scanning left to the tech industry’s discretion.

An EU Child Protection Centre tasked with the systematic removal of known abuse material from the public internet.

Strict security standards for messaging apps (“Security by Design”) to prevent cyber grooming.”

This permanent legislation has stalled because EU member states insist on maintaining the outdated approach of voluntary, suspicionless scanning of private communications.

Critics warn that repeatedly extending the interim rules removes the political pressure needed to reach a viable, permanent agreement.

Ultimately, clinging to the status quo threatens to derail real progress on child protection.

Patrick Breyer sums up the problem: “As long as EU governments can use procedural loopholes to continually extend their comfortable status quo of voluntary, indiscriminate mass scanning, they have zero incentive to engage with the Parliament’s targeted, legally sound, and far more effective child protection strategy.

“The Voices of Survivors: “We need privacy to bring abusers to justice”

Survivors of sexual violence explicitly emphasize that untargeted Chat Control did not help victims:

July 9th, 2026

Dr. Serkan Toto, CEO of Japanese game industry consultancy firm Kantan Games (totally not someone who is pro Sony and someone who benefits from this, but we'll get to that) has said that Sony will try not to reverse their decision

"I sympathize with physical media fans, but Sony will not reverse this decision," Toto (ignore his doomer attitude) told IGN.

"They of course knew what the online reaction would look like, and they now wait for this storm to pass.

"Sony has over 120 million active PlayStation users," he continued. "Around 50 million people subscribe to PlayStation Plus. As a thought experiment, let's say 500,000 cancel in protest, that would be just 1% of that business gone — of course not enough to Sony to start rethinking. Digital is just too lucrative."

Toto says Sony wants to save money on manufacturing games, distribution and not having to give retailers a cut

"I do think Sony will respond in some capacity given the backlash (and tbh they shouldn't have announced this until they were ready to disclose how discs would work on PS6)," said Daniel Ahmad, Director of Research & Insights at Niko Partners, via a post on X/Twitter. "But I'd be surprised if they do a full reversal at this point."

"Their current profit margin has been too weak for years now, so they feel like they must act," Toto concluded. "From an economic perspective, digital sales just make too much sense especially for platform holders."

guess what? this "expert" is actually pro sony!

The analyst, Dr. Serkan Toto who said that people should give up and that Sony won’t give in, “ is accredited by Keio University, a digital media & Microlens R&D facility & trade partner of Sony's located 10 minutes from Sony Global HQ”

And he also benefits “monetarily by developing the microlenses that will supplant the Austrian disc factory.”

So he is a Sony guy and someone who benefits from this

so don't listen to him and keep on fighting guys!!!

Instead look into getting a VPN, using a other AT Protocol Client like deer.social or witchsky.app aswell as using this

In the end this will likely get worse so please fight back on bad internet bills and laws!

From now until the Senate vote, This period of time is our last chance to stop KOSA.

Upset at Discord and Youtube's age verification policies? If KOSA passes, your alternatives to these sites will be affected too. You would not be able to avoid it, not unless you decide to leave social media entirely, which many people cannot do. You would have to choose between privacy and access to your accounts. All is NOT lost, but our hope relies on calls, petitions, emails. I cannot stress enough how important these next few months are. Every call made in the next few months is for the future of the online world. If you have struggled to find time to make a script, or don't know what to say, use 5 Calls. They give you a script to use while calling. People have also provided other scripts. @daytimemin for example has a document with scripts.

Find your senator here: U.S. Senate: Senators

You might have seen that a bill package including the notorious Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) passed out of the House in a rushed vote last week.1 This bill and many of its counterparts would lock large swaths of the Internet behind invasive online ID checks and threaten our ability to speak out online.2 This is far from the end of the road. And calls and messages from people like you have made a huge impact. We’ve been fighting these bills for years, and I can tell you with certainty that the tide is turning. Legislators are shifting, fearmongering “kids safety” arguments are losing their grip, and we’re building a strong, diverse movement of people refusing censorship. KOSA is not yet law, and with the House and Senate disagreeing on fundamental provisions, we have a critical opportunity to build momentum against this legislation and other nonsensical Bad Internet Bills that threaten to kill the Internet as we know it. Now’s the time to dig in. Call and tell your lawmakers how you feel about the KIDS Act passing. Then, check out our brand new Bad Internet Bills tracker, where you can take targeted action against all the most dangerous bills threatening encryption, free expression, and community online.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT

If you’re not sure how your rep voted last week, you can check here.3 Together, Matt at Fight for the Future

P.S. If you believe in our anti-censorship work and can spare the cost of a coffee per month toward the fight, we’d so appreciate it.

I got this email from Fight For the Future and it is really helpful in communicating where we currently are in the fight against the KIDS Act and KOSA.

We should be using this time during the Senate's break to be calling, spreading the word, and doing everything we can to push back against these harmful bills. The return from break around July 15th, which is when Cruz said he wanted to consider the bills. So please, call while you can.

What changes with the return of Chat Control 1.0—and what stays the same: What is coming back: US tech companies are once again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion. This affects direct messages on platforms like Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype, and Xbox, as well as emails via Google’s Gmail and Apple’s iCloud. What remains unchanged: Public social media posts and files hosted in cloud storage could already be scanned without this law. Furthermore, private messages can always be reported by users, or monitored by authorities using targeted, court-ordered wiretapping. What is still NOT being scanned: End-to-end encrypted chats, such as those on WhatsApp, have always been exempt from these scans. Additionally, European providers of messaging and email services have never implemented chat control measures.

To my fellow Europeans, please keep fighting this. This is not about children's safety, we all know those who voted for Chat Control don't give a single fuck about children (quite the contrary even). It's about giving the US, and their allies from hell, access to our lives, they let them infiltrate every single tiny space of our privacy, more than we already do on our own.

With chat control 1.0 now reading everything on your phone (except end to end encrypted messages), this is only a soft launch of CC 2.0 (which is getting voted on in september) which will scan everything. Welcome to the future of mass surveilance.
