I know americans are busy with fighting KOSA but I urge you to please help us by spreading the word about this, I can't say this enough, if chat control passes, citizen's private messages will be scanned via artifical intelligence,and they must comply,otherwise theyre not allwoed to send pictures,videos,or links anymore. We have a discord server made to organize against it,with emails scripts you can use when contacting your meps : https://discord.com/invite/e7FYdYnMkS

Find your meps and tell them to vote no on this :

So if you are in the European Union please contact your MEPS (members of the European Parliament via this):

The EU wants to implement an even worse legislation called Chat Control, in which a trained AI will scan every single one of your messages and photos before they're even sent. They want to destroy end-to-end encryption and scan every single one of your messages in the name of "child protection" from predators.

They want to end privacy with the excuse of protecting children, giving them the possibility to utilize this legislation for far worse. From political expression to free speech, this legislation could put an end to all of it. Everybody in the EU will be affected. You, your family, your friends, your personal feelings and ideas. They will see everything.

If you want to fight it, please, i ask you to visit this website and contact your representatives with a written email, show them the population is against this.

Remember one thing: THEY'RE voting. NOT us. This is not what our democracy says. We've got 2 weeks to do the biggest push against this law. You have to act NOW.

The European Union is going against online privacy by trying to pass a bill in october where AI will monitor all your texts before sending them! Even encrypted ones! If you don’t have the time to read it fully at least read the basic explanation and the what to do part. Our privacy depends on it!

So, with KOSA apparently being reintroduced all over again, I once again urge my USAmerican followers - call your representatives and make sure that shit doesn't get voted in.

(EDIT: There is now an even worse act that got introduced in the form of the SCREEN act, S. 737 (not to be confused with the other SCREEN act, which is... Apparently for something else entirely.) - in a nutshell, it's UK's Online Safety Act on steroids, and if it passes, will be enforced by the FTC, who can and will go even after non-profits like AO3. Call your reps and tell them to vote no on it!

EDIT4: I already added the badinternetbills link, but screw it, I'll mention another bill to call your reps about - the IODA bill, AKA Interstate Obscenity Definition Act, which is basically pure queerphobia in legislation form. So, likewise - call your reps and tell them to vote no on it!)

UK followers - continue signing that one petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, contact your MPs, etc.

Canadian - apparently there is another bill they're trying to push through, S.209, so you know, take action against that as well.

EU Citizens - Apparently Denmark is trying to push through a similar bill of their own, known as the CSAM scanning bill, so you know, do something about that as well?

Reminder - All of these laws are NOT about safety, but about control.

Okay, so here’s how things look right now. We need to pressure back those who were against it. Just be polite when contacting your representatives. We need to pressure back Germany the most as they are a key player in all this.

Here you can read more about what occurred today. Keep fighting! Keep up the pressure on your representatives! Make them go back to being opposed again! The reason most gave in is because mandatory scanning was dropped and replaced with "voluntary" scanning, which still isn’t good at all, and still rises concerns.

We say No to Chat Control! No to Mass Surveillance! No to Age Verification and Digital ID!
