La UE continua amb la idea del “Chat Control” per obligar a les plataformes a escanejar els continguts abans de xifrar-los.
Aquest assumpte es tractarà a la propera reunió ministerial del 13 i 14 d’octubre.
A FightChatControl hi ha informació al dia sobre la posició dels diferents governs europeus. Malauradament el govern espanyol està a favor de la proposta que implica la vulneració de la privacitat dels ciutadans europeus amb el feble argument de protegir els menors.
Carta signada per acadèmics on es presenten arguments per rebutjar la proposta.
Si la voleu signar (cal tenir un doctorat), aquest és l’enllaç.
També podeu actuar posant-vos en contacte amb el eurodiputats.

Més informació extreta d’un missatge de correu de EDRi (European Digital Rights):
“Possible Council position – 14 Oct
As you may have heard, in the next few weeks there will be another significant vote by the EU member states. On 14 October, national justice/home affairs ministers will publicly vote on whether to finally adopt an official position of the Council. There is also a non-public pre-vote on 8 October, where countries will share their voting intention.
In terms of what exactly they will be voting on, there is a Council text from July (it’s bad), but we hear rumours of a new text in circulation, which may reduce the scope of material scanned for to just “known” (hashed) material. Even if true, however, this does not solve our concerns about mass surveillance or undermining encryption.
If successful on 8 and 14 October, the draft law can move forward and final negotiations with the EU Parliament can begin. This puts digital rights in a very precarious position, because even though the Parliament has a good position, we know that several of the lead Members of Parliament (especially MEPs Zarzalejos and Vautmans) still want chat control measures and plan to use negotiations to achieve this.”
“Target countries & actions
The only single countries that are big enough to stop this – and which have at some point expressed doubt about the law – are Germany, France and Italy. So pressure in those countries is extremely needed right now. However, every bit of opposition counts, because if there is broader concern about the law, even from small countries, then Germany might be less likely to give in. Whilst the ideal situation is to have a significant number of countries fully opposing the draft law (i.e. voting ‘no’ on 14 Oct), they can still help stop it by voting ‘abstain’. As long as they are vocal that they abstain, it counts like a ‘no’ vote.
So please, if you can: get in touch (directly or via your supporters) with national justice, home affairs, digital and economy ministers to urge them not to support the Danish proposal at the Council vote on 14 October. Rally national MPs and Parliaments to ask questions of the ministers, hold debates etc. Get the press to report critically on what’s going on and why it matters.
We need to stop the Council from agreeing to any text until it guarantees to protect encryption (including ruling out client side scanning) and ensure that scanning is targeted. We’d also love to see mandatory mass age verification removed.
