@cyrusApparently #ChatControl was just the beginning.
Now an untransparent EU Working Group and several EU Governments want to make it possible to track locations of anyone via GPS on-demand, make hiding Messaging metadata illegal, introduce something like ChatControl where End-To-End-Encryption effectively becomes illegal, on-demand tracking of any car, and a bunch of other insane proposals.
This entire thing has been nicknamed the "EU Going Dark" proposals.
EU Government officials and alike of course would be exempt from these rules, it seems.
@soop@wetdry.world@cyrus when governments introduce this kind of bullshit they say it's to fight the bad guys but in reality it's to give themselves a tempting opportunity to easily defy democracy

A former UK Home Secretary - Suella Braverman did just that.
Parliament refused powers so she used a Statutory Instrument to give herself the powers Parliament* EXPLICITLY refused.
The Courts ruled it illegal, technically still being appealed.

*Her own party had a majority in Parliament of nearly 80 at the time - THAT is how bad her actions were.
