Connor Leahy at the Nexus Conference 2025.
He has definitely a point here.

We are watched and recorded everywhere.
It has such a huge chilling effect:
We are not dancing anymore.
We are not singing anymore.
Devastating.

Rzeczywiście, pełna decentralizacja wymaga tu ustępstw, ale moje podejście to świadomy wybór:

DeepSeek – używam tylko do zaawansowanych zadań (obliczenia, kodowanie), bez danych prywatnych, z wyłączonym treningiem modelu i bez skanowania dokumentów
Facebook/Messenger – Facebook stopniowo zamieniam na Mastodona, ale znajomi jeszcze tam są, więc Messenger niestety pozostaje
Przeglądarki – zarówno Quiche jak i Brave to WebKit pod spodem, ale przynajmniej Quiche jest transparentny

Dodatkowa warstwa ochrony: Wszystkie aplikacje mają wyłączone śledzenie, dostęp do lokalizacji i Siri. Dodatkowo używam NextDNS do filtrowania na poziomie DNS.

To nie jest idealne, ale każdy krok w kierunku privacy ma znaczenie. Kompromisy są nieuniknione na iOS, ale świadomy wybór i wiele warstw ochrony to rzeczywiście robi różnicę.

Diese Gesetze machen uns alle zu Verdächtigen. Dein Gesicht wird zur Nummer. Kameras sehen dich überall. Software vergleicht dich mit Millionen Daten. Ohne Anlass. Ohne Kontrolle. Das zerstört Freiheit. Wer sich versammelt, wird erfasst. Wer protestiert, wird gespeichert. Das ist kein Schutz. Das ist Überwachung.

It is paid, which is a huge advantage for privacy. Security: Servers are in Switzerland, a country with very strict privacy laws. Although the code is partly proprietary (not fully Open Source), it has undergone external security audits that verified its reliability. The compromise: Costs €5 once.

ELEMENT X / MATRIX 🇬🇧

The strength: Federation and Control.
Element is the most popular app for using the Matrix protocol.
How it works: It is "federated," a bit like email. You can use the server provided by Element, or create your own or use a European one managed by your company/community. This gives you total sovereignty over your data. Security: Encryption is strong. However, a distinction must be made regarding complexity: the security of "bridges" (the bridges that allow you to chat with others on WhatsApp, Discord, etc.) is the weak point..

Discord soll Auskunftsanordnungen bekommen haben, um Anti-ICE-Accounts zu identifizieren. Communities werden so zu Aktenordnern, Chats zu Beweismitteln, Protest zu Risiko. Wer Europas Demokratie ernst nimmt, macht diese US-Plattformen irrelevant. Kein Server, kein Join, keine Präsenz. Komplett raus.

On January 30, the EU Council voted to endorse a two-year extension of "Chat Control 1.0". This is a significant setback. If passed, it legalizes the mass scanning of private messages and photos by US tech giants using error-prone AI, without any suspicion of crime. It also paves the way for mandatory ID verification (ending anonymity) and effectively bans anyone under 17 from using messaging apps. potentially preventing them from even chatting with their own parents.

However, the fight is not over.

The Council's vote is not the final word. Under EU legislative procedures, the European Parliament must also agree to the extension. Right now, the power to stop this lies with the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE).

They are deliberating this week to set the Parliament's position before the current regulation expires in April. If the LIBE Committee stands firm and rejects the extension, this mass surveillance regime can still be stopped.

We must act now to influence their decision.

Please do not stay silent. Contact the LIBE Committee members. Tell them to reject the extension of the Regulation and to defend our fundamental right to privacy.

We need targeted, judicial solutions, not a permanent state of mass surveillance.

Quad9 flags a crucial alert for EU lawmakers: don’t turn DNS security resolvers into content cops. 🛡️💻 Weakening DNS protections could expose citizens & businesses to more scams and malware. Read Quad9’s open letter: https://quad9.net/news/blog/urgent-letter-to-the-eu/ #DNS #CyberSecurity #StopSurveillance #StopCensorship #EU #NEWZ #Privacy #wtf

@Tutanota Why do I get the feeling that lately, in so many countries, new regulations are popping up with only one purpose - to erode privacy 🔓? It feels like a bad joke. I can't keep up anymore.

I wish I could fight them all at once, put pressure everywhere 🌍, no matter where I live. But I don't have the time. I'm already drowning in an endless to-do list.

Why couldn't the government set a different deadline? Why are they so determined to push this through? My mind can't wrap around it :blobcatweary: I just hope they come to their senses and never implement it 🙏

#Privacy #HumanRights #Switzerland #SwissPrivacy #EU #ChatControl #FightChatControl #UK #OnlineSafetyAct #AgeVerification #Surveillance #StopSurveillance

@chatcontrol 😱 No! This isn't really happening! Where did this sudden change come from?! Why do I feel like with each day the pressure increases, it only seems to get better, when in reality, it's getting worse?!

There was a moment when I was certain that when Denmark withdrew the idea, that was the end of these stupid ideas for this term. It never occurred to me that it was really just a cover to try to push it through in some less obvious way. I didn't think they'd stoop to such tactics.

But I'll say what I always say in such cases: We have to fight! We have to protest! ✊ We can't let this get through! Because if it does, there will be no point in protecting privacy. It scans everything. All of you.

It will destroy all the great communication solutions that I value not only for privacy but also for functionality 💔 It will destroy all of us.

Go to https://fightchatcontrol.eu! Write anything that expresses your disagreement. You don't have to put in the effort; just send the default message; it's always better than nothing.

I hope that this time we will not win the battle but the whole war! 🙏

🔥 We've come this far. Now we finish it.

Tomorrow they vote. Today is the final countdown! ⌛

We're in a strong position :blobcatstrong: Support for ChatControl is fading. Countries are shifting. The pressure worked. But it's not over - not yet :blobcatsad:

This is the last day to act 👊 And even if our voices don't change minds now, they still matter. Because this fight isn't just about stopping one proposal - it's about leaving a trace. A warning. A record that we were here, and we didn't stay silent :rebel:

So when the next version of this idea shows up - and it will - we'll already have the words 📜 The toots. The proof. We'll boost. We'll remind. We'll fight again! ✊

Right now, it's about numbers. Not persuasion. Even the default message from https://fightchatcontrol.eu is enough :mail_smirk:
But if you can - boost the toots that hit hardest 🔁
Like the ones that speak truth ⭐
Show them we're still watching :eyes_happy:

⚖️ Because these are our rights. And rights must be defended - always!

This is symbolic. But symbols matter. Especially when they're loud 🌪️

And to prove I'm not just asking - here are screenshots of the message I sent to every MEP in every country

Let's finish this. Together! :fist_paw:

@Natanox @alex Thanks for expanding the topic - it's important that we're talking about these risks. I just want to clarify one thing: I didn't forgot about OS-level scanning or supply chain attacks. I simply didn't include them because that wasn't the point of my toot 🎯

🧐 The question was: What will you do if the EU actually introduces ChatControl? Not: What will you do if the EU becomes an authoritarian regime with full digital surveillance? That's a big difference, and I deliberately focused on what is a real threat right now :demon:

I'm not denying that OS-level scanning or supply chain manipulation are possible. On the contrary - I think they're real risks that we should keep an eye on :eyes_squint: But in my opinion, those are much harder to implement, especially in the context of the EU.

The European Union 🇪🇺 is not a country, but an economic and political organization with limited powers. Even China 🇨🇳 - despite all its control - doesn't have full surveillance at the hardware and software level. And if the EU ever tried to reach that level, it would take many years ⏳

That's why I believe the most important thing right now is to stop ChatControl in its current form - the obligation to scan messages on social platforms 📱 This is a concrete proposal that could be passed soon. And that's what needs our attention.

If we focus now on worst-case scenarios that, at this moment, aren't realistic in the EU, we might miss the chance to stop something simpler - but just as dangerous - from being implemented without resistance 🚫:rebel: And that could be the first step toward something worse.

Again - I'm not dismissing your concerns. These are important topics that deserve discussion - maybe even in a separate thread :mastodon: But in the context of my toot, I wanted to focus on what I would do and what we could do together if this really gets passed 🤝

Anyway, thanks for the comments - I'm glad my post sparked a response. I hope that even with different perspectives, we can still work together 💪 Because only together do we have a chance to make a difference ✊

@Natanox I won't sit and watch if ChatControl becomes real 🔐 I'm not okay with this kind of surveillance, and I'll do whatever I can to help people get access to real encrypted communication - no backdoors, no compromises.

For me personally, I don't think it would change much :ablobcatwink: I download apps directly from developers, skipping app stores whenever I can, so it's not that easy to block me. And even if they try, we still have Tor, VPNs and other ways to bypass censorship 🛡️ Plus, the tools I use have already said they won't cooperate with the EU - they'd rather leave the market than break their principles. That means we won't end up in a situation where messages get scanned on one side.

:blobcatsadpats: Of course, it won't be that easy for people I talk to. Some won't want to deal with the hassle, others will think installing @signalapp, etc. in a semi-legal way is too risky, and iPhone users will have a hard time working around the system :apple_inc: But that doesn't mean it's impossible. It just means we need to help - explain things, support each other, find workarounds 🤝

If this law really happens, I'm not backing down 💪 I'll support any initiative that fights it. And I'll try to organize with people who share my values, because I know we're stronger together. This isn't just about me - it's about everyone who doesn't want to live in a world where every message is suspicious and privacy is a luxury :pink_money:

We won't give up that easily. And we definitely won't stay silent ✊

@chatcontrol The only good thing is that some countries moved from supporting to undecided. The bad thing? It's not opposing❗Which means this is likely just a pause - a temporary shift before they slide back into support. We cannot let that happen! 🚨

And while my words might sound like nothing has changed - that this is just a formality - it's actually the opposite. This is a sign. A chance. Proof that pressure works 💥 That countries now prefer to show support in the quietest way possible 😶

But it also means they're afraid :neocat_scream_scared: They know we're watching :eyes_happy: They know we're paying attention. And that means we can influence their final decision. Because if this law passes loudly, publicly, and visibly - people won't vote for the same representatives again. And that would mean the very people who pushed this law would have to live under it themselves 🔁

So I'm asking you - use this moment! ⏰ Do something. Anything! They won't move forward if there's a real risk of falling into their own trap.

You can contact your MEPs. You can reach out to local media and ask them to cover this. And if you have the means - organize a protest. If one happens near you - go! This is likely one of the last chances to act :fist_paw:

Because if we don't, the monster won't just knock. It will come for us all :demon:

The final hours. The last chance. But not the last fight.

Today, 🇩🇪 Germany said NO to ChatControl 💥 This could be the turning point 🔄 But it is not the end.

If tomorrow we manage to block this proposal - it will be a victory 🎉 But digital freedom does not defend itself. It must be protected. Every day. In every decision. In every update. In every voice 📢

Now is the time to do everything that is still left:
- Write to your MEP :protonmail:
- Share information 🔁
- Mobilize others 🤝
- Do not stay silent 🤐

Because even if we win tomorrow - it is only the beginning. Because even if we lose - it is not the end.

Freedom does not vanish loudly. It disappears quietly :ghosty: Unless we defend it ✊

For months now, whispers have turned into a roar :neocat_scream_angry: about a certain EU proposal. At first, it sounds like a noble cause - protecting children from harm online 👶🛡️ Who could argue with that?

But this is no ordinary mission. This is the turning point 🔄 A moment where the digital realm risks falling into a shadow :ghosty: A plan that demands all our private conversations be scanned :eyes_happy: No suspicion. No crime. No reason. Just everyone. All the time ⏰

Imagine a system powerful enough to scan every message, every image, every whisper - on every device, for every person 📱💻 It doesn't need physical access or a noisy presence. It runs silently in the background, all the time :ghosty:

It was created to protect 🛡️ But its effectiveness is uncertain, and privacy is seriously compromised 🔓 Instead of focusing on real threats, it treats everyone the same - as if risk came from simply being online 🌐

A digital weapon built before anyone can understand its consequences ⚠️ Like a Death Star - not made of kyber, but of code :empire: Created in the name of safety, but capable of something far more dangerous ☠️

Officially, this proposal is called CSAR (Child Sexual Abuse Regulation) 📜, but most of us know it as ChatControl :mail_smirk: And that's no accident - the latter name more accurately reflects what this system really is and the consequences it brings :eyes_happy:

If passed, it will mark the end of private digital communication in the EU 🚫:signal: And if it happens here, it can happen anywhere 🌍 Because what is accepted in one democracy can quickly become the norm in others. Europe often sets the standards others follow 🇪🇺 And the world is watching 👁️

This proposal changes the rules ⚖️ It weakens encryption 🔐, the very foundation of secure communication. When encryption is weakened, every message becomes vulnerable to interception :hacked:, and privacy is no longer guaranteed. When privacy disappears, democracy crumbles with it 🏛️⚠️ The consequences do not end there - surveillance will become part of daily life :signal: :eyes_happy:, and control over our digital world will only grow stronger.

I was born into a free internet 🌐 I want to die in one too 🗽

This proposal breaks fundamental rights 🚨:
- the right to private communication (Article 7) :signal:
- the right to data protection (Article 8) 🔒
- the presumption of innocence ⚖️
- the principle of proportionality ⚖️

This is not a debate over ideology 🚫🗯️ This is a matter of principle 🔥

To the @EUCommission: I know your intentions are good 🙏 But history does not judge intentions. It judges consequences :blobcatgrimacing: You want to protect people 🛡️ But you may end up building something that will be used to control them :neocat_devil:

Don't build a machine you yourselves would fear :neocat_scream_scared: You will not be remembered for good intentions - but for what you leave behind 👣 Think about how it will affect us all. Choose security, not surveillance. 🚫:eyes_happy: This is your moment ⏳ Don't waste it.

To everyone else: You don't have to be from Europe 🇪🇺 to care :neocat_heart: When harmful laws pass without resistance - the impact is felt everywhere 🌎 We are citizens of one digital world 🌐 And in that world, staying silent comes at the highest cost 🤐

Freedom does not die loudly. It disappears - quietly :ghosty: - unless we stop it :fist_paw:

@aepd_es ¿Qué está haciendo la Agencia para detener estas prácticas? ¿Se puede hacer algo? ¿Es suficiente el GDPR para frenar el shadow tracking? ¿Han recibido más quejas de usuarios? @ctxt @lamarea ¿Han investigado esto?

It’s like they’d leave the bathroom door open while using the toilet and even put a camera in their living room on purpose.

This "I don’t care" attitude hurts everyone. And that "I’ve got nothing to hide" stuff is really annoying.

The Privacy Act of 1974 protects us from having our personal info misused by government agencies. But now, the IRS and DHS want to tear down those protections—sharing taxpayer info to ramp up immigration enforcement.

This is a danger for all taxpayers, regardless of immigration status.

Someone has decided that implementing a surveillance system in classrooms is a good idea. Now, I'll share my thoughts on this...

When I think about #SurveillanceCapitalism online I see it as looking for people's #vulnerabilites to exploit. Exactly the same thing cybercriminals do to break into systems. And when cybercriminals do it nobody has a doubt it is crime. But for some reasons doing the same thing with minds and emotions is perfectly legal.

Current #internet is designed like one big con, with attempts to trick people into clicking things they might not want themselves.

When I hear about programs to help elderly people with going online I have mixed feeling because od this. Because the internet is mostly made of the same things we want to protect them from. And advertisers aren't much better than scammers calling elderly people and inviting them to presentations with overpriced pots sales.
