THE DEATH OF PRIVACY: EU DICTATORSHIP MAY COME WITH A FINE SUIT AND KIND WORDS
—————
By October 2025, your phone could become a state surveillance device, scanning every message, photo, email, and video before you send it.
Encrypted apps? Irrelevant.
Chat Control scans your content before encryption, making privacy impossible, just like the East German Stasi, but automated and global.
An artificial intelligence decides what's "suspicious," compares your private data against secret government lists, and automatically reports you to the authorities, even though 80% of these alerts are fake.
No judge, no warrant, no context, just a machine watching everything you do, 24/7.
This isn't fighting crime.
It's digital authoritarianism, on a scale that would make the KGB envious.
