Well done, Joachim! 🙌

The campaign has irked some recipients. “In terms of dialog within a democracy, this is not a dialog,” said Lena Düpont, a German member of the European People’s Party group and its home affairs spokesperson, of the mass emails.

Funny comment, seeing how EU was not even planning a referendum to check whether the majority of EU citizens approve such a proposal or not. EU did not even think of a dialogue with the citizens.

And funny how the article presents the proposal as something against sexual child-abuse material. As if abusers really used normal chat apps to make such exchanges...

There is absolutely a possibility that a role model democracy like the US used to be in the 20th century develops into a dictatorship, as is currently happening under trump.

it can happen in europe as well, and chat control will absolutely, 100% be used against the people.

Precisely. The best slogan in support of fascism/authoritarianism is: "It could never happen here."

Bad, bad "unknown Dane", named "Joachim", "age 34"! How could you! Why do you hate the children so much?! Doesn't anybody here think of the children at all?
