Finally a platform referencing all Free/Libre software actors in Europe! 🤩

All actors? Sadly no: the focus is on non-profit associations, social and cultural actors. Indeed, those have less financial means at their disposal, they deserve to find resources that can fit their budget.

Our concerns are valid and we are being heard.

We went from a situation only 6 months ago where this issue was barely discussed in mainstream media in Finland to now where people are aware and angry that this kind of legislation is even being considered. This won't be swept under the carpet and forgotten ever again.

Any detailed review of #ChatControl exposes what this legislation entails: the mass surveillance of every citizen of the European Union.

Although this is a decision made on the European level, the article I linked mentions that countries like #finland and the #netherlands are in key positions to prevent #ChatControl from going forward.

Mass surveillance has no place in #europe.

The tide is turning in regards to Finland's support of #ChatControl !

After the decision on Finland's stance on Chat Control was deferred earlier this month, it was sent back to different committees for review.

Now the Transportation and Communications committee has sided against the proposal, stating that Chat Control would constitute widespread mass surveillance. ("...laajamittaista viestinnän massavalvontaa" in Finnish).
