In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years. Pressure is now mounting on EU governments to respect the MEPs’ vote and bury untargeted mass surveillance in Europe once and for all.

If you can't understand the technology behind it, please refrain from calling other people names. It makes you look ignorant.

The EU is very privacy focused, as should be apparent with the post you are literally commenting on.

Your russian propaganda holds no power here. It didn't work with chat control, and it won't work with age verification either.

If you can't understand the technology behind it

it seems it is you, that have no idea how technology works. "open source" won't solve being able to prove it does not send anything more it needs, when the implementations will be black boxes, with obfuscated verification software as is recommended by guidelines governmental projects intend to follow, as you can see in this very long thread

additionally, when the laws are accepted, what will you do if the promises turn out to be lies? protest by not using the internet anymore?

gtfo. We all know what age control is in reality. You are playing us, for the oligarchy. Admit it!
