Two questions: Are govts. shown as opposed to it necessarily opposed to it firmly and for the right reasons and does it make sense to stir up a fuss even in such countries?

@anselmschueler See chatcontrol.eu: "Some governments like Germany e.g. only object to the scanning of encrypted communications, but are fine with the indiscriminate scanning of other private and public communication, with the end of anonymous communication by requiring age verification, or with introducing a minimum age for “risky” communication apps. Also critical governments need to do more, exert their influence in the Council of the EU and agree on a joint list of necessary fundamental changes to the proposal." So yes, it does make sense!

@m4ra We can't be sure. Sudden changes of position have happened in the past. So I call on everybody to check with their government.
Tomorrow's vote is binding. If there is a majority, the Council would endorse Hughary's pro-#ChatControl proposal including mass surveillance and destroying secure encryption.

@marcoap No, you better get in touch with your government: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#WhatYouCanDo

@echo_pbreyer Done, thank you
