#Chatcontrol is OFF the table for now. ๐ช
But it will be back.
Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard:

We have to keep fighting for #encryption and our right to #privacy ๐

@Tutanota what the f**k is wrong with politicians. Why mostly the stupid ones are in power in the world
@Tutanota
hyggelig ist das leider nicht.
@Tutanota
hyggelig ist das leider nicht: "Wir mรผssen die vรถllig falsche Vorstellung durchbrechen, dass es jedermanns zivile Freiheit ist, รผber verschlรผsselte MessagingโDienste zu kommunizieren."
Definiere "wir"!
@Tutanota This is a TTS rendering of your post that contains "characters" from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, to simulate "bold" text.Roughly what people using screenreaders get to hear.
@katzenberger Oh, didn't know, sorry about that!
@Tutanota This quote freezes my blood, the more it goes the more it's the elites against the people.
@Tutanota Entenjagd ... Hasenjagd ... Enten...

@Tutanota The minister has clearly not learned the lesson, so this fight definitely continuesโฆ
@Tutanota
Never everโฆ
@Tutanota @thegibson itโs everyoneโs civil liberty to communicate privately, the encryption is just the best solution we have for that. Anti-privacy advocates always try to deflect attention from that core point.
@Tutanota Iโd like for him to elaborate on the word โerroneousโ.
@Tutanota it should have stayed on the table...
...so it could have been voted down for good.
#sad
@egeltje Sorry, the wording was not clear enough: OFF as it did not get a majority yet; ON as the vote is still on in October...
@Tutanota Hummelgaard is the embodyment of a facepalm. His political opinions are almost always brute force and/or unsofisticated.
He has the position he has, because he is willing to push the governments unpopular policies forward. His collegues in government can hide behind him, almost like a meat-shield. He does not understand what he is legislating, as this quote clearly shows.
Complete moron.

@Tutanota We instead must break with the totally erroneous perception of politicians that it is their god-given right to know everything that's happening in innocent citizens' lives.
@Tutanota en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hu
What an absolutely terrifying individual. Like, truly Orwellian mindset - in an absolutely literal sense with no exaggeration or dramatisation. Just straight-up believing that your citizens shouldn't have privacy.
@Tutanota We must finally put an end to being ruled by such lunatics, who give the bourgeoisie the tools to gain total control over the people.
@Tutanota It is not states liberty to read my private messages, we are not in soviet russia
@Tutanota it's top of the hypocrisy from him. He will be as politician not impacted by chat control. Total bullshitman. Shame on him.
@Tutanota
His comments don't particularly surprise me given the overall tendency to limit civil rights as much as possible.
However, they do disgust me.
@Tutanota I somehow like that this time it is not "Woohoo, we won!" It is more like "Stay alert, they'll come back." Next time they do, we will be aware and we will have tools to fight this and hopefully kill it once and for all
@Tutanota We must break through the mistaken assumption that any government, authority or state has the right to invade the privacy of its citizens and monitor their communications, in whatever form.
Be prepared for their next attemptโฆ
