The EU (still) wants to scan
your private messages and photos

The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private
digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This
threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU
citizens.

You Will Be Impacted

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically
scanned--without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching
criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million
citizens of the European Union.



Mass Surveillance

Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no
suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications.

[?]

Breaking Encryption

Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's
communications--including sensitive financial, medical, and private
data--to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors.

[?][?]

Fundamental Rights

Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as
guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter--rights considered
core to European democratic values.



False Positives

Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as
vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people
at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations.



Ineffective Child Protection

Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn
that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes
children less safe--by weakening security for everyone and diverting
resources from proven protective measures.



Global Precedent

Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian
governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at
home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

*EU politicians exempt themselves from this surveillance under
"professional secrecy" rules. They get privacy. You and your family
do not. Demand fairness.
