Under the slogan ‘Think of the children’, the European Commission tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens. When the scandal was revealed, it turned out that American tech companies and security services had been involved in the bill, generally known as ‘Chat Control’ – and that the whole thing had been directed by completely different interests. Now comes the next attempt. New battering rams have been brought out with the ‘Going Dark’ initiative. But the ambition is the same: to install state spyware on every European cell phone and computers.
Nobody in the pro-surveillance camp wants to actually catch pedophiles, that is just one of those “nobody can argue against it” excuses they have been using for ages.
Are you saying you DON’T want to protect the children??? You monster! /s
