@9to5Mac now this would be a reason to change to GrapheneOS. Even if on-device, Apple has no right to scan and censor anything, unless activated - AI is never just on-device and we've had this subject before.
Another reason not to upgrade to iPhone 17 too, as Apple cultivates unpredictable policies - one might just end up with a piece of scrap-metal in your hands overnight.

The video of the session is already available and can be downloaded (full or specific sections) in any language. Let's remind everyone of this when the European Commission wrongly claims that #ChatControl would not be a disproportionate attack on our civil rights, threaten everyone's security and undermine encryption with Client-Side-Scanning!
What is your favourite clip?

#ChatControl proposal failed in the Council of the EU again today!
Hungary tried to use its presidency to shame critical governments into agreeing to the proposed mass surveillance by forcing ministers to explain themselves during live-streamed public session. This plan backfired:
several countries took the floor to confirm on the record that this would undermine #cybersecurity, attack #encryption with #ClientSideScanning and violate fundamental rights!

This move by the Hungarian presidency shows again the disdain of the #Orban government for European democracy. Sowing discord among member states and playing dirty tricks, rather than addressing the substantiated critique of the proposed mass surveillance.
#ChatControl #StopScanningMe
Just last week media reported that the government of Hungary in the past has spied on EU officials. Orban acts like a hostile actor, undermining European democratic institutions from within.

Read this by @ella to find out the latest incredible developments on #ChatControl and help to spread the word! Don’t let Orban get away with pressuring governments into agreeing to this unprecedented mass surveillance proposal!

Congratulations to our friends in Finland. Following sustained civil society engagement by @effi and others, the Finnish Parliament has officially sided against the current #Chatcontrol proposal!

#StopScanningMe
Gute Nachricht: das finnische Parlament hat sich klar gegen die #Chatkontrolle positioniert!
https://www.eduskunta.fi/FI/vaski/Lausunto/Sivut/SuVL_10+2024.aspx
Starker Erfolg der Zivilgesellschaft dort – insbesondere @effi – welche sich lange dafür eingesetzt haben.
Teilweise Übersetzung ins Englische von @m4ra:
"..the suggested model would, in fact, lead to the mass surveillance of communication and would weaken the integrity of communication in the EU."

#ChatControl is a really bad idea, but it also remains a file tainted from its very beginning with shady lobbying connections between #Europol, #Thorn and the EC.
While the European Ombudsperson's investigation is still ongoing, another report by #BalkanInsight reinforces concerns regarding undue influence:
„Europol representatives said that an “administrative error” had resulted in his employment by Thorn being approved unconditionally.”

I am particular interested in what parties in Germany and France have to say about Chat Control.
Do the parties act the same in the national parlament as they do in the EU parlament?
In Sweden, the parties in the national goverment are pro Chat Control in the national parlament and against (at least the conservatives and liberals) in the EU parlament.
Does anybody know about Germany and France?
Maybe

EU is about to scan all your communication, violating your human rights. A new attempt of establishing mass surveillance is scheduled for October. Contact your politicians and government and go protest to protect democracy and privacy. Stop Chat Control #ChatControl #StopScanningMe https://stopscanningme.eu
The EU Commission FINALLY admits *on record* that its #CSARegulation proposal would break
encryption, as Vera Jourova's comments at @EDPS Summit. This contradicts 3 years of @YlvaJohansson 's : "#CSAR doesn't break encryption."
Alternatively, we could start by ensuring that every communication app has simple digital reporting mechanisms to authorities, to assess the potential challenges authorities would face with the sheer volume if users themselves were to report unlawful content.

Chat Control is an unprecedented attack on privacy and encryption, trying to turn your device into an automated mass surveillance tool. Automated scanning of private communications even before they are sent.
You can find a lot of information about #ChatControl on the website of @echo_pbreyer: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/
Also on the #StopScanningMe website by @edri:
https://stopscanningme.eu/en/
The number of false reports following the voluntary #ChatControl 1.0 scanning has risen massively, reports Der SPIEGEL (German): https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/chatkontrolle-zahl-der-falschmeldungen-zu-kindesmisshandlung-massiv-gestiegen-a-a746b118-82e7-4560-8ba4-45f02489768c
Still EU governments want to make mass #ChatControl scanning mandatory for ALL providers on Wednesday - #StopScanningMe!
