There's a major state sponsored misinformation and smear campaign towards GrapheneOS in the Netherlands and Germany. The misinformation campaign includes unsubstantiated security claims not holding up to scrutiny to scare people away from it. They're also heavily misrepresenting who uses it overall.
These smear campaigns conflate GrapheneOS with forks and modifications of it sold by shady companies. Those usually include a device management app to remotely manage the devices of their customers as if they're employees. These are largely not GrapheneOS devices or have preinstalled malware apps.
A common tactic being used in these smear campaigns is to make unsubstantiated and outright false claims about the capabilities of forensic data extraction tools. They misrepresent how they get into devices. They want to scare people into using far less secure devices which are easier to exploit.
France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands are becoming increasingly authoritarian surveillance states with an ongoing crackdown against privacy. It's happening throughout the whole EU and it's likely both secure devices and end-to-end encryption without backdoors are going to end up outlawed.
There are a bunch of companies based in the EU selling phones with drastically worse privacy and security than an iPhone including Jolla, Volla, Murena and iodé. These products are effectively backdoored by not providing standard privacy and security patches/protections while misleading users.
France and other EU countries are actively cracking down on legitimate privacy and security projects while supporting unsafe products within their control. These products make it far easier to remotely exploit devices and also to bypass encryption to extract data. They're phony privacy products.
Each of the companies we've listed have participated in the misinformation and smear campaigns against GrapheneOS. Jolla spent years working closely with Putin's regime. Volla, Murena and iodé are building an EU Play Integrity API. None provides the crucial standard privacy patches/protections.
Murena is directly assisting with state anti-privacy campaigns smearing highly private and secure devices as mainly benefiting criminals. They've repeatedly falsely claimed GrapheneOS is mainly used by criminals. Here are 2 of many examples:
xitter.cf/GrapheneOS/status/2040…
clubic.com/actualite-604786-…
GrapheneOS, end-to-end encrypted messaging apps, Monero and other projects are being targeted with state and corporate propaganda and anti-privacy laws. Meanwhile, the same governments heavily fund and support phony privacy projects clearly downgrading privacy and security compared to an iPhone.
GrapheneOS is only an initial target for these state actors and their sycophants in corporate news organizations. Apple heavily works on protecting users against exploits too. It would be much harder to convince the public that an iPhone is for criminals so they're starting with open source.
Gaël Duval is the founder and president of the /e/ foundation along with the CEO of Murena. Duval and his organizations have consistently taken a stance against protecting users from exploits. In this video, he once again claims protecting against exploits is for only useful pedophiles and spies.
Translation to English:
> There's the attack surface, on that front we're not security specialists here, so I couldn't answer you precisely, but from the discussions I've had, it seems that everything we do reduces attack surface. However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice. So there aren't difficult things to check if the memory is corrupted, really hardened security stuff that could clearly be useful for executives, in the secret service, or whatever. That's not our goal, our goal is to start from an observation: today our personal data is constantly being plundered and that wouldn't be legal in real life with the mail or the telephone, we want to change that. So we are making you a product that changes that by default for anyone.
Transcription in French:
> Il y a la surface d'attaque, là pour le coup on est pas des spécialistes de la sécurité, donc je ne pourrais pas te répondre avec précision, mais des discussions que j'ai eu, il semblerait que tout ce qu'on fait, ça réduit la surface d'attaque. Donc oui, probablement ça aide. Par contre, on a pas une approche "sécurité durcie", on développe pas un téléphone pour les pédo(bip) pour qu'ils puissent échapper à la justice. Donc il y a pas des trucs pas possibles pour voir si la mémoire est pas corrompue, des trucs de sécu vraiment durcis qui pourraient être utiles clairement pour des dirigeants, dans les services secrets ou que sais-je. C'est pas notre but, notre but c'est de partir d'un constat, aujourd'hui nos données personnelles sont pillées en permanence et ça serait pas légal dans la vraie vie avec le courrier ou le téléphone, on veut changer ça. Donc on vous fait un produit qui change ça par défaut pour n'importe quelle personne.

Anyone should have the right to say no to any medical procedure including vaccines and not need to have any reason.
That right to decline should not be tied to civil liberty infringement because we are free beings inherently and the constitution enshrines these God given inalienable rights. You cannot have informed consent without the free ability to decline.
So really exemptions should not even be needed. JUST the word NO. This is what needs to be changed legally and culturally. For the current climate of this messed up world yes, anyone should be able to religiously exempt.
I feel strongly that collectively we need to push past fighting for the right for exemptions and command, reclaim, and demand our inherent right to say no freely and without civil liberty infringement.

••• EU-förordningen som dödar den småskaliga gränsöverskridande e-handeln kommer knappast att ändras i år, om alls. •••
Förra veckan skrev vi om hur EU:s nya förpackningsförordning (PPWR EU 2025/40) dödar den småskaliga gränsöverskridande e-handeln.
På grund av groteska och kostsamma byråkratiska krav [1] med olika rutiner och på olika språk i de 27 medlemsstaterna blir det i stort sett omöjligt för de nästan två miljoner [2] små web-butiker i EU som säljer över gränserna att fortsätta sin verksamhet.
Det handlar om specialiserade butiker, hantverkare, konstnärer, komponent- och kontrakttillverkare, författare som ger ut på eget förlag, smyckeskonstnärer, klädskapare, instrumentmakare, säljare av lokalproducerade produkter – och väldigt många andra som försörjer sig helt eller delvis på småskalig postorder och e-handel till eller inom EU.
Det går inte ens att sälja något till andra EU-länder på eBay längre utan att ange sina registreringsuppgifter (Extended Producer Responsibility Packaging Registration Number) för varje nationell marknad där produkten skall erbjudas. Detsamma gäller den som säljer via plattformar som Etsy, Amazon, Fyndiq och Zalando. Även om det bara handlar om ett paket.
Vad som började som en frihandelsunion har nu utvecklats till ett byråkratiskt monster som hindrar handel över gränserna, i namn av en överordnad grön omställning.
Så vad händer nu? EU kan ju vara blixtsnabbt och runda hörn när det gäller sådant dess makthavare vill ha, som Chat Control.
Svaret är att det knappast blir någon förändring i år, om någon alls.
Enligt Die Welt har en hög EU-tjänsteman uppmanat medlemsstaterna att tills vidare inte tillämpa de nya reglerna strikt och att avstå från sanktioner. Men något sådant uttalande ändrar inte den gällande lagstiftningen.
Vilken företagare vågar verka på en marknad under så diffusa förutsättningar? Och marknadsplatserna vi nämnde ovan har ju redan stängt den möjligheten.
Vad är det för slappt lagstiftningsarbete som till synes saknar all verklighetskontakt och konsekvensanalys? Vad är det för lagstiftare som tyckte att detta var en bra idé? Hur tänkte de då?
Redan i december 2025 insåg kommissionen att kravet på lokala auktoriserade ombud kunde bli ett problem. Därför föreslog den att just detta krav skulle skjutas upp för EU-baserade företag till den 1 januari 2035. (COM(2025) 982) Men det kräver beslut i EU:s ministerråd och i Europaparlamentet. Och alla andra krav ligger kvar.
En stor majoritet av medlemsstaterna i rådet skall enligt uppgift ha motsatt sig förslaget. Rådets behandling av frågan lades åt sidan den 24 juni i år.
Europaparlamentet fortsätter dock att behandla ett nedbantat förslag, med undantag för företag med högst 49 anställda och högst 10 miljoner euro i årsomsättning. En utskottsomröstning väntas tidigast i början av oktober.
Det är därför oklart om parlamentet kommer till skott innan årsskiftet. Om alls. Och om ministerrådet fortsätter att sätta sig på tvären kan processen dra ut på tiden hur länge som helst.
Under tiden går många små postorder- och e-handelsföretag under – och den fria rörligheten för varor inom EU hindras.
---
[1] Om du säljer förpackade varor till kunder i ett annat EU-land kan du, beroende på mottagarlandets system och hur reglerna slutligen genomförs, behöva:
• Registrera dig i varje enskilt mottagarlands producentregister.
• Ansluta dig till varje enskilt mottagarlands återvinnings- eller producentansvarssystem.
• Redovisa förpackningarnas mängder och materialslag i varje enskilt mottagarland.
• Betala miljö- eller återvinningsavgifter i varje enskilt mottagarland.
• Utse ett auktoriserat ombud för producentansvaret i varje mottagarland där du inte är etablerad.
Det finns inget gemensamt EU-register utan 27 olika nationella system med olika register, olika blanketter och språk, olika rapporteringsperioder, olika definitioner och undantag, olika återvinningsorganisationer, olika avgifter och olika krav på lokala ombud.
[2] EU har cirka 24 miljoner små och medelstora företag. 22 procent av dessa säljer sina varor via en egen webbplats eller app. En tredjedel av dessa säljer sina varor över gränserna.
Not: Elva av Sveriges 21 Europaparlamentariker röstade ja (S+V+MP+L) till den slutliga förpackningsförordningen. Fem röstade nej (C+SD+Folklistan) och fem avstod (M+KD). När frågan därefter slutligt avgjordes i ministerrådet röstade den svenska regeringen ja.

My comment below on April 18, 2020 raising a question about the origin of the furin cleavage site (FCS) of the spike protein when I first read the proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 paper in @NatureMedicine
It was clear at that time to anyone with training in molecular biology that the FCS was not present in spike from related viruses that supposedly the COVID virus emerged from.
To me it appeared as if it was engineered and so I asked the question to others to help me understand where it could have come from.
The question was never answered in a way that even remotely supported a natural origin.
This includes nucleotide usage.
And the released now public evidence that has accumulated has only supported that it was engineered through gain-of-function research funded by NIAID.

Very important revelation with far reaching implications as this is no longer conspiracy theory by individuals who have raised concerns before👇
Concerns about biodistibution of COVID mRNA vaccine in lipid nanoparticles to placenta and fetus by Nobel Laureate Drew Weissman were shared with Tony Fauci on Feb 8, 2021.
Fauci responded 11 hours later in a tone suggesting that he's done enough and informed those who needed to be informed.
The other internal emails question Dr. Weissman's motives but I would venture to say that his motives were to share truths that were inconvenient to those receiving them.
Scientists, especially physician-scientists must be allowed to pursue scientific truth and publish their findings without fear of repercussions, having their reputations damaged or careers destroyed.
I know something about this topic from personal experience.
The future of scientific integrity and public trust in science is at stake.
There should be support for research even if it goes against dogma, mainstream narratives or propaganda.
Those responsible for cover-ups of truth or who have destroyed people's careers should be held accountable. Informed consent and appropriate oversight by regulatory agencies are still needed to protect the public from undisclosed or suppressed harms.
The mRNA platform should also be explored as products that are safe and effective can help patients including those with cancer.
Those injured by COVID modified-mRNA vaccines should be acknowledged and helped. The bar for FDA oversight of drugs has to be raised and enforced.
There should be investigation and reform within academia, pharma, professional societies, the media and government as to how we got here if there will be reckoning or justice.

SHOCKING mRNA BIODISTRIBUTION AND PREGNANCY EMAILS FOUND INAPPROPRIATELY FILED IN MIDST OF FAUCI PRIZES DOSSIER....
I have discovered a smoking gun (I don't use that kind of hyperbole usually), seemingly HIDDEN in the midst of the dossier focused on Fauci's desire to win science awards.
The entire document is awards, awards, awards....and then I just stumbled across three or four completely off topic, incredibly damning emails.
Feb 8 2021 Dr Drew Wiseman emails Fauci
"I have been working with a maternal fetal researcher and we observed that using a dose 100 fold higher than human doses and administered intravenously (both common practices in biodistribution studies)
THE LNP mRNA's GO TO THE PLACENTA AND FETUS
measured by the translation of the mRNA and CAUSE AN IMMUNE RESPONSE IN THE AMNIOTIC FLUID
In non pregnant mice the OVARIES AND UTERUS take up the mRNA and translate the mRNA."
On 8th March Weisman emails Fauci again and says:
"Here is the human dose IM (intramuscular - the way the mRNA was administered to humans).
WE STILL HAVE SOME CONCERN OVER THE DATA
Weissman is admitting that the preclinical data (which the government later cited as proof of "safety") was actually generating internal concern at the highest levels.
On March 2 2021 Karin Bok (NIH) writes to Emily Erbelding, sharing a copy of an email she had written to John Mascola (NIH).
In it she states:
*she has no concerns about the study showing systemic biodistribution of the LNP/mRNA complex calling it typical of other vaccines too in mice studies
*it makes sense that the mRNA would be found in the PLACENTA
*she was a member of the ACIP (vaccine advisory committee) that gave permissive recommendations for the Covid mRNA injectables to be used in pregnancy.
*the assumption that the mRNA injectable stays in the arm at the site of injection is VERY INCORRECT
*Subject Matter Experts (ESPECIALLY OBYGYN) involved in advisory capacities were AWARE the mRNA "might" reach the fetus.
*the only discussion (their only concern) was a discussion around the possibility of the vaccinal mRNA INTEGRATING INTO THE NUCLEAR DNA
*All vaccines administered to pregnant women historically have been found safe for mother and baby, so when we recently discussed pregnancy and the J&J vaccine, there was no concern, they recommended its use also unanimously
All this internal conversation about the knowledge that the mRNA DID NOT stay in the arm....and DID cross the PLACENTA, while the whole world was told
"the mRNA stays only in the Deltoid muscle where it is injected"

För den som endast följt med sporadiskt lär följande framstå som bombastiska överord:
Storbritannien liknar alltmer en polisstat.
Dessvärre är det sant. En av Europas mest anrika demokratier överger i snabb takt de värden som den genom århundraden varit med om att forma och håller på att etablera sig som en av västvärldens mest repressiva nationer.
Staten övervakar sedan tidigare vad medborgarna skriver online och ser till att polisen griper dem vars åsikter kan uppfattas “stötande”.
Komikern Graham Linehan greps av fem beväpnade poliser när han klev av planet på Heathrow, på grund av tre transkritiska tweets.
Krönikören Allison Pearson fick polisbesök i sitt hem i Essex efter att ha skrivit inlägg om en propalestinsk demonstration på X.
Tusentals vanliga britter grips för, i stor utsträckning konservativa, åsikter de yttrat online. Stockholm Report har tidigare intervjuat Maxie Allen och Adam Smith-Connor.
Detta räcker inte för Starmerregeringen. Den vill nu styra britternas algoritmer och bestämma vad de konsumerar.

A guy named Jonah accidentally built the most useful website on the internet.
It's called Privacy Guides.
This is the website Google would rather you not find, Meta actively lobbies against, data brokers have tried to discredit for years, and the entire advertising industry treats as a direct threat to their business model.
It has been online since 2019. It takes no affiliate money. It runs no ads. Journalists cite it. Security researchers trust it.
Here's how it works.
Privacy Guides is a curated recommendation list. The site itself sells nothing.
It just tells you which private tool actually replaces every surveillance product in your life, tested by security researchers and updated every month, organized into 40+ categories with the exact reason each pick was chosen.
→ Browsers that block trackers and ads by default
→ Email providers that cannot read your messages
→ Search engines that do not build a profile on you
→ Password managers you can self-host
→ VPNs that accept cash and Monero and log nothing
→ Messengers with end-to-end encryption Signal-tier or better
→ Photo apps that do not scan your camera roll
→ Health apps that do not sell your data to insurance companies
→ A custom Android OS called GrapheneOS that strips Google out of your phone entirely
The site is run by a non-profit called MAGIC Grants. Every recommendation goes through a public forum review, a GitHub pull request, and criteria published on the site so anyone can audit why a tool was chosen. No company can pay to be listed. No affiliate link exists on the entire domain.
Google can't shut this down. Meta can't shut this down. Amazon can't shut this down.
The entire $600 billion surveillance advertising industry is built on the assumption that you would never spend one afternoon on this website.

Thank you David for your question.
The billions of small DNA fragments in a given dose and any intact plasmid DNA within lipid nanoparticles (LNP’s) are all delivered at the injection site where they are most concentrated.
Additional injections deliver similar cargo often nearby the location of earlier injections.
The LNP’s carry their cargo inside cells including replicating cells, damaged cells, premalignant cells, stem cells or existing cancer cells.
Dividing cells break down their nuclear envelope so intracellular material can freely mix with chromosomes and any ongoing DNA repair processes in a stoichiometry that may favor insertional mutagenesis.
There are no studies of the immediate early events after vaccination with COVID mRNA vaccines in humans.
There are no reliable long-term outcome studies in the US after multiple boosters. There is a paucity of post-mortem studies with forensic evidence.
There is uncertainty about whether certain adverse events or outcomes are captured in databases or electronic health records given lack of diagnostic codes or general awareness.
There is variability in the contaminants and heterogeneity in risk among individuals.
Such variability in risk is essential to understand better.
The level of contaminating plasmid DNA has been documented to be underestimated in certain assays with amplified regions less detectable due to RNA-DNA hybrids.
There is uncertainty about which cells that circulate actually come in contact with injected material but draining lymph nodes with immune cells, muscle cells and small blood vessels in the area are candidates.
There have been unexpected findings in
1- biodistribution with some evidence that vaccine mRNA or Spike protein may persist for up to 2 years and be found in distant organs,
2- contaminants with altered manufacturing process where a plasmid-based Process II never tested in the early clinical trials was substituted for the in vitro transcription-based Process I when the COVID mRNA vaccines were rolled out for global use,
3- immune alterations involving novel epitopes from frameshifting, inflammation from the nucleic acids and LNP’s, and IgG4 class-switching by the time 4 doses of COVID mRNA vaccines have been given,
4- tropism to certain cells/organs such as CNS, heart, placenta, ovaries, GI track among others,
5- ribosomal frameshifting that is more common with the pseudouridine-modified stable mRNA,
6- presence of Spike in tumor cells when it was rarely looked for,
7- increased PD-L1 in tumors as a primary consequence of COVID mRNA vaccines in tumors as described in a Nature article in November 2025 where it was used to support a rationale for cancer immunotherapy,
8- altered microbiome, and
9- unexpected toxicities in a myriad of illnesses with similarity to long COVID.
Six years after the pandemic started it is reasonable to ask questions about unexpected occurrences, their mechanisms and to allow experts to discuss and address issues.
It is important to be more nuanced about individual risk:benefit considerations.
There are gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed and there is lack of informed consent with the COVID mRNA vaccines.
There is need for stricter oversight of modified mRNA products in LNPs with plasmid-based manufacturing.
There is need for more transparency by manufacturers and regulators.
There should be more attention to potential harms of products before large scale use.
There should be liability for manufacturers as well as accountability that extends to regulators.
Vaccines can save lives if they are safe and effective.
Achieving that bar is relevant to what regulators approve and what individuals accept after informed consent that includes common and rare risks.

The European Parliament voted AGAINST Chat Control. 314 to 276.
And it passed anyway.
Let me tell you how: they needed 361 votes to say no. On the last day before vacation. Every empty seat counted as a yes.
They lost the vote. They won the law.
That’s not democracy. That’s a trick. #ChatControl

Chat Control 1 is back. Despite the European Parliament voting down the legislation twice this year, the Council of the European Union and parts of the Parliament today managed – through an urgent procedure – to extend it for another two years. The law was originally introduced as temporary legislation, so that its effectiveness could be evaluated. At the end of 2025, the European Commission itself concluded that it was not possible to determine whether the law had any measurable effect. Even so, it has now been pushed through.
Some of today's amendments could have stopped the law. And a majority of the voting MEPs wanted to do so. By a margin of 314-276, the Parliament voted to reject the proposal through these amendments. However, since it was an urgent procedure, 361 votes were required. As a result, the majority lost today and Chat Control 1 was passed. The urgent procedure was a dirty play by the Council and parts of the Parliament – it’s a procedure not meant to be used on legislation already rejected by the Parliament.
For now, Chat Control 1 will remain in effect. This means that tech companies may continue scanning communications without a warrant or suspicion.
However, the real battle is Chat Control 2. Unlike Chat Control 1, it would require all providers to scan communications, and to do so far more extensively than Chat Control 1 ever has.

Det är officiellt: Fulspelet i Bryssel gick i lås.
En majoritet av ledamöterna i salen röstade precis för att stoppa Chat Control. Men eftersom EU-topparna tvingade fram sin "hastprocedur" krävdes det plötsligt en absolut majoritet på 361 röster från hela parlamentet för att avvisa förslaget. Tack vare att de la omröstningen mitt under semstern, när bänkarna står tomma, var det i praktiken helt omöjligt att nå den spärren.
EU-ledningen lyckades alltså med konststycket att runda en demokratisk majoritet.

Det är nästan genialt hur EU lyckas sälja in ren och skär diktaturövervakning som ”trafiksäkerhet” 😂
Från och med nu kräver EU obligatoriska kameror riktade rakt mot förarsätet i bilen, gjorda för att stirra dig i vitögat och registrera din minsta ansiktsrörelse. Om din blick svävar iväg mot sidospegeln eller om du blinkar för länge efter ett arbetspass, så går bilens automatiska övervakningssystem igång för att analysera och flagga ditt beteende. Det absolut bästa? Eftersom hälften av bilarna byggs i Kina kan partihögkvarteret i Peking analysera ditt ansikte och ditt innersta privatliv i realtid.
Man måste nästan beundra tempot i hur snabbt precis allt håller på att spåra ur just nu. Ribban för vad som anses ”normalt” flyttas framåt varje vecka, och ingen verkar ens reagera längre.
Hur lång tid tar det innan kameran kopplas till ditt digitala ID så att systemet drar böter direkt från kontot om du råkar titta snett på nästa vansinniga politiska beslut? Vad gissar ni?

While the whole world is fully focused on artificial intelligence and expanding technological infrastructure, an unbelievable act of surveillance is currently being pushed through the European Parliament, even though it has already been rejected twice.
What chat control is about:
The EU wants to allow platforms once again to scan private messages. Officially, this is “voluntary”, but in practice it is another step toward indiscriminate surveillance of private communication.
What makes this especially questionable:
Chat control has already been rejected twice in the European Parliament. Yet now it is supposed to come back, through an urgent procedure.
But there is no real urgency. The transitional regulation has already expired, and Parliament would have time for proper deliberation. Instead, the issue is supposed to be rushed through the plenary shortly before the summer break.
And the trick is obvious:
To stop chat control, a simple majority of the MEPs present is not enough. It requires an absolute majority of all MEPs. Anyone who is absent effectively helps the supporters.
In other words: a massive infringement on digital fundamental rights is supposed to be pushed through after all, by exploiting timing, procedural logic and parliamentary absence, even though Parliament has already rejected it.
This is not a clean democratic process. This is the erosion of fundamental rights through a procedural trick.
So instead of discussing the truly important issues, such as how to bring frontier intelligence to Europe, whether through excellent open-source models or deals with US frontier labs; instead of discussing how to build our own compute capacity through data centers; instead of solving the energy problem, probably the biggest bottleneck, they are acting against the interests of EU citizens, expanding surveillance, expanding regulation and doing all of this against the will of the people.
A dark day for Europe. I would appreciate it if you shared this issue. The video by Martin Sonneborn that I am sharing is worth watching. The whole world should know about this. (The speech he gave is in german, hopefully there is a translation somewhere)
Thank you for your attention.
Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen.
Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort.
Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht)
Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar."
Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen.
Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley!
Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!

Det fina med EU:s demokrati är att om man röstar ”fel”, så ändrar topparna bara reglerna och röstar igen tills det blir rätt.
EU-topparna använder just nu en "extraordinär hastprocedur" för att tvinga fram en ny omröstning om ”Chat Control”, nu på torsdag. Förslaget innebär i klartext massövervakning genom automatisk skanning av alla medborgares privata meddelanden, chattar och bilder. Att de medvetet väljer att lägga en så avgörande omröstning när bänkarna gapar tomma och folk har checkat ut för semester, är ett rent demokratiskt haveri. EU-parlamentet har redan sänkt det här förslaget flera gånger, men EU-ledningen vägrar helt enkelt att acceptera det demokratiska beslutet.
När @MartinSonneborn nu försökte påpeka i talarstolen att den här hastproceduren faktiskt bryter mot EU:s egna regler, så stängde talmannen helt sonika av hans mikrofon. Det säger allt om hur desperata de är.
Seriöst, vad har det blivit av EU egentligen? Kan de inte bara återgå till den handelsorganisation den en gång i tiden var tänkt att vara?

🚨 ChatControl is part of the EU’s Digital Prison where elites want to lock in all 450 million EU citizens by abusing “child protection” as a pretext.
This is a false argument, and everyone knows it.
There is no democracy without privacy.
We should not be ruled by Brussels bureaucrats. We pay them to work for us, not spy on us.

Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen.
Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort.
Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht)
Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar."
Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen.
Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley!
Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!

Misæren om Chat Control fortsætter.
Man vil nu haste-stemme om det, selvom det slet ikke er lovligt ifølge EUParls egne regler, at indkalde til en haste-afstemning som det er gjort her.
Der er kun TRE dage til den afstemning skal ske. Det kræver et absolut MEP-flertal IMOD, hvis den skal afvises. Det vil sige, et flertal (i råt antal) af MEPs skal møde op og stemme imod.
Man har placeret afstemningen på den sidste dag før EUParl går på ferie. Mange MEPs er på det tidspunkt allerede rejst hjem for at påbegynde deres ferie.
Der er ingen tilfældigheder. Timingen er med fuldt overlæg. Datovalget er med fuldt overlæg. Vi kender endda strategien fra herhjemme, med kort høringsfrist og bunke-afstemninger på sidste dag før ferien.
ChatControl bliver med al sandsynlighed en realitet på torsdag.
Og EU kalder sig stadig "demokratisk".

I morgon tisdag röstar Europaparlamentet om att ta upp frågan om en förlängning av Chat Control 1, igen. Blir det ett ja blir en sådan väldigt svår att stoppa – trots att parlamentet redan sagt nej två gånger.

The most basic question here seems to be:
Who, exactly, do these people answer to?
If the European Parliament rejects mass scanning of citizens’ private messages, and the institutional response is to search for a procedure that makes rejection harder than approval, then the issue is no longer only ChatControl.
It is democratic legitimacy.
If the President of Parliament represents Parliament, then her first duty is to defend its expressed will, not help other institutions outmaneuver it.

Tomorrow I will speak against Chat Control!
The European Parliament already rejected mass scanning of private messages, but now some want to bring it back through the back door. We should protect children by catching predators, giving them tough sentences and strengthening law enforcement, not by treating millions of innocent citizens like suspects.
Real child protection targets criminals, not everyone. @ESNgroup_EU
