synopsis: for a while now, weverse has allowed fans to ‘dm’ their favourite idols. it’s controlled, it’s monitored, it’s all very pc… until you come along one drunken night and break the rules. what is supposed to be a harmless act of communication quickly spirals into much, much more and begs the question, how far should communication between a fan and an idol really go?

They told you it was about protecting children.

They told you it was about safety.

But what the European Union is voting on right now is not safety—it’s the legal death of privacy.

Here’s what “Chat Control” means:

Every message you send. Every photo. Every video. Every file. All scanned automatically before it even reaches the recipient. Without your consent. Without suspicion. By law.

That is not child protection. That is mass surveillance imposed on 450 million citizens. It destroys encryption. It destroys privacy. It destroys the very principle of free communication.

And it won’t stop in Europe. This is a virus.

The UK has its Online Safety Act. The US has the “Kids Online Safety Act” and the shiny new SCREEN Act. Different names, same poison: backdoors into your private messages, permanent surveillance disguised as morality.

Don’t be fooled. Once the infrastructure is in place, it won’t just scan for child abuse material. It will expand to “hate speech.” Then “misinformation.” Then “extremism.” Then whatever the state deems unacceptable. A permanent surveillance internet, where anonymity is illegal, where everything is tracked, monetised, and weaponised.

WhatsApp has already said it would rather leave Europe than comply.

Think about that. One of the world’s largest messaging platforms is saying this law is incompatible with free communication. If Big Tech doesn’t fight, the people will be left defenseless.

And don’t count on VPNs to save you. Already in the UK, YouTube is blocking VPN access for millions. Governments know VPNs are the last line of defense, so they’ll ban them too. Piece by piece, the walls close in.

This is not about keeping kids safe. If it were, governments would fund real investigations, real prosecutions, real protection. Instead, they’ve chosen the easier path: treating everyone like a suspect.

This is control. Always has been. Always will be. And unless people resist, unless citizens push back, we will lose the last shreds of privacy forever.

i was born in the age of mass surveillance.

"god is always watching."

there have always been hidden, invisible pairs of eyes on me.

"of course i found out. you can't hide anything from me."

there is always, somewhere, a camera documenting my every move.

"be careful how you present yourself online."

has my presence ever really been offline?

i have been positioned, photographed, costumed and and filmed since i was a noticable lump within my mother's womb. i have been documented, edited, stitched, captioned, uploaded, watched, commented on, shared, sold, exploited, degraded, praised, liked, and debated for every moment of my life. and it began before i could even develop enough brain matter density to understand it.

so much of my entire life exists, scattered among the infinite sea of human data.
