The EU Chat Control Directive Threatens Private Communication

At HK Softworks we build products that respect privacy. Our privacy policy is deliberately simple because we collect nothing beyond what is necessary to answer your messages. Private communication is non-negotiable.

The EU Chat Control directive would force messaging apps to scan private conversations on your device before they are sent. It undermines end-to-end encryption and creates backdoors that hostile actors could exploit.

Privacy is a basic requirement for journalists, activists, businesses, and anyone who shares personal details. Breaking encryption makes everyone less safe and erodes trust in digital services.

Once a mandatory scanning system exists, it can be repurposed. Today it may target suspected abuse, tomorrow it could monitor dissent, political organizing, or trade secrets. Building universal surveillance into phones sets a precedent that other governments will copy.

You can help stop the directive. Visit fightchatcontrol.eu to learn more and send a pre-written letter, or email your representatives directly and ask them to reject Chat Control.
