Wow the "Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions", with 100 delegations, just happened with religious leaders sitting and TALKING together about humanity.

Why isn't this widely known and covered ??? As an atheist I somehow feel its newsworthy in these times. Politicians could learn something.

I know there's a general "cause fatigue" with the current state of the world, and I feel it too.

But in my years working in privacy,
I don't think I've seen anything as terrifying as this European Chat Control proposal. And I'm not even European.

Everyone needs to pay
much more attention and be much more worried and outraged about this.

This proposal is the most dystopian glimpse into a horrible authoritarian future I have seen so far in the West.

It looks dismal, but we can still stop it
if we all work TOGETHER NOW ✊

There isn't much time left though,
so don't put it to next week.

Democracy dies in silence.

• Everyone: Learn more here
• Everyone: Spread the word on social media
• Europeans 🇪🇺 Contact your local media NOW
• Europeans 🇪🇺 Contact your MEPs NOW

The final vote is on October 14th,
but media and representatives need to receive your messages NOW, so they have enough time to act on it.

As someone who has worked in European #PublicAffairs on both sides, I can say without a doubt that threatening the #EU doesn't work.

Notwithstanding the ethical implications of this, it's just a bad public affairs strategy. You're in a staring competition against 27 countries and you're betting they'll all blink together before you do. That's a losing bet

Apple, accustomed to a captured #US legislation by #technofascism, also want's to be the one writing the laws of the #EU.

No, no, no, for God's sake, not for monopolistic profit, but because they care about locked-in "user experience". Of course.

And, #TheGuardian, it's not "allegedly", but an already decided case that got a €500m fine by the #EU for not allowing developers to sell apps outside its own app store, that is appealed.
