#BigSister Ylva Johansson 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.

The paper reads much like the arguments the Commission presented in Court before the #DataDetention directive it had proposed and the #SafeHarbour/#PrivacyShield schemes it had negotiated failed spectacularly.

The Commission's arguments were already dismissed by the independent legal assessments presented by EPRS and Council Legal Service that clearly find bulk searches of our private communications content are indiscriminate and violate the essence of fundamental rights.

Thus fact remains that #ChatControl will fail to protect children already for the reason that the courts would strike it down.

Let's give children the protection they deserve: effective, rights-respecting and compliant!
