1/6📍#ChatControl: Yesterday, EU lawmakers entered the final stage of negotiations ('trilogues') on the controversial hashtag#CSARegulation, aka Chat Control. 📣 EDRi has been advocating for years to make sure that this law tackles the severe crime of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online without resorting to #MassSurveillance, breaking #encryption or compelling people to undergo intrusive age checks, all of which would have harmful consequences for people and communities.

On Friday, the @European Commission hit X with a €120M fine for deceptive practices for violating the #DSA. Even if the fine comes late, Musk's reaction on social media and the US government's irresponsible threats against the EU show that we're on the right path. X's decision to terminate the EU Commission's account on the platform also highlights how critics are processed by the platform & how risky our dependency on Big Tech has become.
