“Attempts to delegitimize civil society suggest a worrying effort to silence critical voices, in line with broader trends of shrinking civic space. When both the content and the process regarding this law are so troubling, we need to ask how the European Commission allowed it to reach this point.”—Ella Jakubowska @ella

Significa eso que haya que seguir usando Telegram?
Quien quiera puede, claro. Pero en #Europa #ChatControl (o #CSAR) lleva proponiéndose y revisándose incansablemente desde 2022. En este tiempo #PavelDurov lo que ha estado empujando es en convertir #Telegram en una red social como #Facebook en lugar de mejorar su seguridad haciendo, por ejemplo, que las claves de cifrado queden en manos de los usuarios y no de Telegram.

Considerad alternativas libres y descentralizadas:

¿Vigilancia total de chats y mensajería instantánea para una seguridad total?

La UE está preparando una nueva ley (#CSAR) para monitorear todo nuestro correo electrónico y mensajes personales en un intento de frenar la difusión de material de abuso sexual infantil en línea. Este video explica por qué esto no funcionará, por qué es peligroso e incluso perjudicará los esfuerzos para tomar medidas contundentes contra los pederastas.

2/3 With Belgian Presidency being the 4th country failing to broker a deal on #CSAR, it's clear that there is NO magical tech solution.

The mass scanning of private chats leaves people VULNERABLE to malicious security attacks.

Alternatives exist https://edri.org/our-work/joint-statement-on-the-future-of-the-csa-regulation/

The Commission must withdraw the draft CSA Regulation. It fails to properly address the complex & serious problem of child sexual abuse and could undermine private & secure communication for all. Our call on EU Parliament & Council:

#CSAR #chatcontrol

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."

@X_net hemos firmado la carta abierta de #GlobalEncryption para oponernos a la actual propuesta de @EUCouncil #CSAR que pretende permitir la vigilancia masiva a toda la ciudadanía.

Nos jugamos mucho. Si puedes, ¡difunde!

At #MaccBeerFestival with #CSAR today. Beautiful day and very busy.

Firmamos junto con 47 orgs de la sociedad civil y 26 expertos esta carta para que Estados Miembros #UE rechacen #ChatControl.

La propuesta #CSAR actual permitiría la vigilancia masiva y acabaría con las comunicaciones privadas.

1/3 48 civil society orgs & 26 individual experts call on Member States representatives to REJECT @EU2024BE's latest #CSAR compromise.

The text is flawed & harmful. It will enable #MassSurveillance & undermine #encryption.

3/3 This year, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that weakening encryption violates #FundamentalRights.

The Council's latest #CSAR texts ignore the ruling, keeps #CSS on the table & don’t stop providers from being forced to weaken #encryption.

tl;drThe Council's falling foul of the law.

2/3 The latest Council #CSAR proposal:

allows #DetectionOrders to be issued very broadly - ignoring EU Council Legal Service's concerns that this is NOT compatible with human rights law prohibiting general monitoring.

Chances are @EUCourtPress would annul #DetectionOrders.

#CSAR

The current Presidency of the Council has responded to concerns, claiming that they have put forward a ‘more proportionate’ approach, which also protects encryption. However, this is not reflected in the latest text that they have put on the table.

4/4 EDRi's blog on Belgium’s latest move on #CSAR is dedicated to our esteemed colleague Professor Ross Anderson, a bold and important voice in our collective work on the EU’s CSA Regulation and a part of EDRi since our inception in 2002. He will be deeply missed.

3/4Another red flag in the new #CSAR proposal:

Proposed reliance on the EU Commission for risk criteria decisions DESPITE
Serious allegations of non-impartiality around the Commissioner in charge of CSAR
DG HOME’s alleged undue closeness with the surveillance tech industry
