Westerners Outside of Europe:

If you've seen a few posts about

the debate around Chat Control going on in Europe and dismissed it thinking this was not happening to you too,

I urge you to reconsider.

Whenever a new authoritarian regulation to spy on populations and undermine privacy rights is implemented in a part of the Western world, it impacts all the other parts.

Our politics are intertwined and influence each others.

Do not minimize this.

Americans, Canadians, Australians should be greatly concerned about Chat Control in Europe: https://www.techradar.com/computing/cyber-security/the-eu-proposal-to-scan-all-your-whatsapp-chats-is-back-on-the-agenda

Europeans, Canadians, and Americans should be greatly concerned about Age Verification in Australia: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/nov/07/australian-government-to-legislate-social-media-age-limit-of-16-but-cant-say-how-platforms-will-enforce-it

Canadians, Europeans, and Australians should be greatly concerned about KOSA in the United States: https://www.stopkosa.com/

We are all citizens of the world now,

and we must fight together and for each others to push back against mass surveillance and any undermining of our privacy rights, collectively.

Privacy is a human right, worldwide.
