Make your voice heard. Tell your government that chatcontrol is not something that we will agree on!

Organized child porn rings don’t use e-mail or messenger services, but rather secret self-operated forums. With its plans for chat control, the EU Commission is putting the general security of our private communications and public networks, business secrets and state secrets at risk out of short-term surveillance desires. What we need is removals instead of snooping!”

This is so true, I don't get how anyone can find the governments actions justifiable. Which pedophile that has at least one single braincell actually use unencrypted email providers like gmail, and without any additional encryption such as PGP? This does more harm than good.

Not that I support this type of legislation, but I think you would be surprised how dumb sexual deviants often are.

Beware of reverse survivorship bias. We'd know relatively little about the smart deviants if they rarely get caught.
