    EU interior ministers want to exempt themselves from chat control bulk scanning of private messages.

    It’s clear and simple mass surveilance. You might not have something to hide now, but maybe you will one day if your country plunges into fascism or other authoritarianism or they will make something that is now legal illegal retroactively like has happened with abortion in the US. Protect your rights while you can.

    Sign https://www.change.org/stopchatcontrol and contact your MEPs directly https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home.

    even if end-to-end encryption is in place

    More than one person has called it on the assumption that E2E encryption is next on the chopping block.
