If that doesn’t illustrate the illegitimate nature of democracy, then what does? The EU bureaucrats must be driven out before they end up making decisions just like the unelected political commissars in the Politburo. It is the Epstein cult that speaks from its own experience of the abuse of children and young people, and this is what they have been trying to foist on the public for years. If there is reasonable suspicion, I am immediately in favour of holding the perpetrators to account, and if this suspicion is confirmed by the courts, I am also in favour of chemical castration. But placing the whole of society under suspicion and pre-emptively labelling them as potential criminals is merely a defensive manoeuvre by those in power who know full well that they have long since gone too far and who fear the public’s reaction. I will today put some tool together how you can protect yourself against this state snooping.

Thank you! Keep us posted on what you can come up with.

Of course "Protect The Children"is a pretext.

Of course eu methods are cynical. They work. The bureaucrats got the powers they wanted.

A very bad week for European democracy and trust! I had just posted a similar post also based on my own experience working on Chat Control in the European Parliament

Over the next two years, the way to defeat this is what corporates do when faced with inconvenient regulations: “malicious compliance”.

Someone needs to produce another extension that will draw from the 80% lawful content and spew it out randomly into a text box that people can copy paste into their messages. Or a variant, one of an infinite number of techniques.

That will have the effect of drowning our pseudo authorities in false positives; and turn them into what all autocrats fear most of all. Objects of ridicule.
