EU now one step away from reviving private message scanning rules
Cyber Insider ^ | 8 July 26 | Alex Lekandet

The European Parliament has approved an urgent procedure to fast-track legislation that would revive the EU's expired “Chat Control 1.0” rules.

This development sets up a decisive vote on July 9 over whether online platforms may once again be allowed to voluntarily scan private user communications for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

MEPs voted 331 in favor and 304 against using the urgency procedure, allowing Parliament to bypass the usual committee stage. The procedural vote does not itself reinstate the law but accelerates consideration of a proposal that would effectively restore the temporary legal framework that expired in April.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Word is this morning the EU passed the private messaging surveillance. Brussels will be able to massively scan private messages and legalize the monitoring of citizens’ communications.

It is becoming clearer the EU is now the biggest threat. They are also on track to going to a cashless digital money system, by end of 2026, early 2027.

The money thing is kind of funny because every time I visit they always want to use cash.

Scanning PMs would be a poor way to catch a pedo. Typically they do sting operations which, by definition, capture the offending traffic already.

The motive here is something much different than catching pedos. In fact, why would political organizations that are of, by and for pedos have any interest in capturing them?

The Europeans really don’t get the hang of this freedom thing, do they?

The old USSR put strict controls on typewriters. Can’t have anyone typing anything subversive!
🚫

Looks like the EU is heading in that same direction, this time with internet devices.
🤐

It’s for the children!
And to stop anti-immigrant comments.
And stuff.

A bunch of child rapists installing more draconian surveillance “for the good of the kids”

The irony is never lost on me.

Better that they collapse rather than turn into an Islamic super state with the controls already in place.

“Women run the EU and women are creating a dictatorship that’s destroying it”
——————————-

This comes to mind:

Isaiah 3:4-7
“”As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.”

They are just using children as an excuse to revive the Stasi
tactics.

They learned nothing from the wars. Instead, I guess you could say, they are reviving evil behaviors from past enemies.

The grooming gangs in UK don’t seem to get any rise out of any of them.
