#CSA #CSAR #ChatControl

📢 On 26 September, in Brussels, EDRi will welcome @signalapp's President @Mer__edith @CommissionerHR @dunja_mijatovic & @epfl's @carmelatroncoso among other top experts & policymakers to discuss encryption, surveillance & privacy.

Many don’t know what encryption is. YET most of us rely on it in our daily lives.

✋The EU may put everyone's safety at risk with a new law #CSAR that would de facto install a form of distributed spyware on every single device.

I would like to thank everyone that was in the organization of #FNF23! This was a great step in my journey in #DigitalRights and #DigitalInclusion.

We had a lot of fun and kickstarted an initiative to bring closer the #EU institutions to the Fediverse (more updates soon! @vishnee @zzepposs @erikkemp)

Also, with MEP Patrick Beyer we discussed about how #CSAR may undermine our fundamental right to privacy, as well as new developments in border control by the EU

🚨 An extremely wide range of experts including technologists, survivors' groups, the UN, independent lawyers, young people, police, prosecutors, EU institutions, MPs, companies & human rights groups have all raised concerns about the EU's proposed CSA Regulation #CSAR.

Read the summary of all official criticism levelled against the #CSAR proposal here: https://edri.org/our-work/most-criticised-eu-law-of-all-time/

"🚨An extremely wide range of experts have warned against the misguided & dangerous measures in the @EU_Commission's Child Sexual Abuse Material Regulation #CSAR. See the summary below. ↩️

Out last night between midnight on 3am on a #CSAR callout. Need to wake up! The Morrisons veggie breakfast hasn’t hit the spot so it’s Costa next!

1/5 Today, @EP_SingleMarket voted to protect encryption and reject unreliable tech in the CSA Regulation! #CSAR

✋🏽BUT the Committee does not go far enough: its opinion only partly targets detection orders.

EDRi's first take: https://edri.org/our-work/the-eus-internal-market-committee-votes-for-protecting-encryption-in-the-csa-regulation/

All ready for the second, and final, day of my Powerboating course. Tent packed away and I’m in the carpark at Menai. Today we’ll be navigating the Menai Staits which is supposedly the second most dangerous waterway in the world. No idea where the first is! #csar #boating

Been doing my RYA Powerboat Level 2 award today. Hopefully complete it tomorrow. #csar

RT @echo_pbreyer: #BigSister @YlvaJohansson touts a Commission paper in which the authors of the #ChatControl #CSAR #MassSurveillance proposal once again deny that it violates fundamental rights. This assessment is as "independent" as listening to Putin on the war against Ukraine.
