We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. https://signal.org/blog/pdfs/germany-chat-control.pdf
@signalapp "We urge Germany to be wise and to stand firm in its principles. We cannot let history repeat itself, this time with bigger databases and much much more sensitive data." This is vital since the actual damages and bodily harm caused by invasive surveillance have yet to be fully understood. CBTA supports Signal in its endeavors to uphold private communications accessible. #privacy #surveillance #Germany #biometrics
