Chat Control: Why We Must Stop It

The European Union is trying to push a law called "Chat Control". If passed, it would force every messaging app to scan your private messages, even if they're encrypted. It also includes age verification rules that could kill online anonymity.

This is mass surveillance. It breaks end-to-end encryption, it puts everyone under suspicion, and it sets a dangerous precedent. Once you normalize scanning, it won't stop at child protection, it can and will expand to other areas.

Why This Is Dangerous

Privacy is a right, not a privilege. Nobody should have their private conversations read by machines or governments.

Encryption keeps us safe. Backdoors and client-side scanning weaken security for everyone, and criminals will exploit those weaknesses too.

False positives ruin lives. Automated detection isn't perfect. Innocent people will be flagged, investigated, and harmed.

Free speech at risk. Without anonymity, journalists, activists, and everyday citizens lose the ability to speak safely.

What We Can Do

Spread the word. Share resources like fightchatcontrol.eu.

Contact your representatives and tell them to vote NO.

Support tools and services that keep encryption intact.

Educate friends and family: privacy matters to everyone, not just "tech people".

How I'm Contributing

With my project Private Chat, I'll keep building and promoting tools that protect communication, not weaken it. I'll also keep publishing content -blogs, tutorials, and videos- to make sure more people understand what's at stake.

I've also uploaded a short video on YouTube where I explain Chat Control in plain language. Please watch and share it, awareness is our strongest defense. For now, in Spanish language.

Final Word

This is not just about Europe. If Chat Control passes, it will inspire copycats around the world. We can't let mass surveillance become the norm.

Privacy is freedom. And freedom is worth fighting for.
