The European Parliament already rejected indiscriminate scanning of private messages. Today, the European People’s Party (EPP) is attempting to force a new vote to reverse that decision on short notice.
This is the same surveillance proposal we have written about before and again. Nothing about the proposal has improved. Scanning private messages breaks end-to-end encryption, creates infrastructure that can be repurposed for broader surveillance and treats every citizen as a suspect.
The Parliament said no. Forcing repeated votes until the answer changes does not belong in a democracy.
The vote happens today. If this matters to you, visit fightchatcontrol.eu to find your MEPs and send a message before it.
At HK Softworks we build products that collect as little as we can. Scanning everyone’s messages to find a few is wrong, however many times it is put to a vote.
