Chat Control: EU lawmakers finally agree on the voluntary scanning of your private chats
The agreement follows more than three years of disagreements
 You can't just "slightly weaken" true end-to-end encryption without breaking it entirely. If a system is built to scan your messages before they're encrypted (like some proposed laws want), that capability can always be abused, broadened, or hacked by others later. Stick to messaging apps that offer real end-to-end encryption, where the code is fully open source and independently verifiable. And stay alertβ€”bills and regulations like these are often attempts to sneak in backdoors that let governments (or anyone who compromises them) read your private conversations.

@π•žπ•ͺ𝕑𝕒π•₯𝕙π•₯π• π•—π•šπ•£π•– Cellebrite being used by the TSA is SHITraeli military tech and can already break through Signal and Discord encryption in their latest update. A majority of countries across the world, certainly most EU countries use SHITraeli surveillance and cyber security tech. Pegasus and Palantir can be argued to be using the same backend Master system. Go figure.

It was all over the news. Whether or not it's FUD is questionable considering none of SHITraeli software used legal means or abides by privacy laws (of any jurisdiction whatsoever). That's why it's called 'data harvesting'. It would be a tall claim to make if it's fake, but since they have the M0ssad network to harvest from, I wouldn't put them above it just yet.. It also says something about us as a community if we still expect them to play by any rules. Terrorists don't do that.

What does this mean? Does it mean that some people will create messaging apps without encryption intentionally and then advertise themselves as EU safe or something? I guess that's one way of going about it. Social and societal manipulation, getting people to police themselves. Good job EU.
