But the fight isn't over. Chat Control proponents won't give up easily. We must keep the pressure on.

This post is dedicated to a very nice organisation, that I bet you've heard of: the Internet Archive! @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org

Want to play Sonic the Hedgehog in MAME in your browser?
Or read that website from 1998 that no longer exists?
Or download that file you really, really need or its ur ass but it vanished in 2005?
*Internet Archive saves your bacon.*
It often comes under attack, and costs a lot to run. Perhaps donate? Here:

Chatcontrol, la Germania è passata tra i paesi che si oppongono, ma c'è ancora pericolo, anche perché i voti si ottengono in tanti modi ... per esempio comprandoli. C'è ancora tempo. Scrivete con questo strumento ai nostri MEP.

🇪🇺Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level." https://www.bmjv.de/SharedDocs/Zitate/DE/2025/1008_Chatkontrolle.html

Anlasslose Chatkontrolle muss in einem Rechtsstaat tabu sein. Private Kommunikation darf nie unter Generalverdacht stehen.“
🇮🇹Un messaggio chiaro dalla Ministra della Giustizia tedesca: « Il #ChatControl indiscriminato deve essere un tabù in uno Stato di diritto. » La comunicazione privata non può essere soggetta a un sospetto generalizzato. « La Germania non approverà tali proposte a livello UE. »

🇬🇧 In a desperate attempt to save #ChatControl, proponents are now proposing an #uploadfilter for messengers: https://www.iwf.org.uk/media/21rpo2o4/iwf-preventing-the-upload-of-child-sexual-abuse-material-in-end-to-end-encrypted-e2ee-environments.pdf
Child protection objective: Failed. It would be ridiculously easy to modify a blocked image and re-send.

Since Denmark can attempt another vote in December, it is important to stay vigilant. Both Italy and Sweden remain undecided while France remains supportive despite Chat Control being in direct violation of its Résilience bill explicitly forbidding both forced backdoors and client-side scanning.
