For months now, whispers have turned into a roar
about a certain EU proposal. At first, it sounds like a noble cause - protecting children from harm online 
Who could argue with that?
But this is no ordinary mission. This is the turning point
A moment where the digital realm risks falling into a shadow
A plan that demands all our private conversations be scanned
No suspicion. No crime. No reason. Just everyone. All the time 
Imagine a system powerful enough to scan every message, every image, every whisper - on every device, for every person 
It doesn't need physical access or a noisy presence. It runs silently in the background, all the time 
It was created to protect
But its effectiveness is uncertain, and privacy is seriously compromised
Instead of focusing on real threats, it treats everyone the same - as if risk came from simply being online 
A digital weapon built before anyone can understand its consequences
Like a Death Star - not made of kyber, but of code
Created in the name of safety, but capable of something far more dangerous 
Officially, this proposal is called CSAR (Child Sexual Abuse Regulation)
, but most of us know it as ChatControl
And that's no accident - the latter name more accurately reflects what this system really is and the consequences it brings 
If passed, it will mark the end of private digital communication in the EU 
And if it happens here, it can happen anywhere
Because what is accepted in one democracy can quickly become the norm in others. Europe often sets the standards others follow
And the world is watching 
This proposal changes the rules
It weakens encryption
, the very foundation of secure communication. When encryption is weakened, every message becomes vulnerable to interception
, and privacy is no longer guaranteed. When privacy disappears, democracy crumbles with it 
The consequences do not end there - surveillance will become part of daily life
, and control over our digital world will only grow stronger.
I was born into a free internet
I want to die in one too 
This proposal breaks fundamental rights
:
- the right to private communication (Article 7) 
- the right to data protection (Article 8) 
- the presumption of innocence 
- the principle of proportionality 
This is not a debate over ideology 
This is a matter of principle 
To the @EUCommission: I know your intentions are good
But history does not judge intentions. It judges consequences
You want to protect people
But you may end up building something that will be used to control them 
Don't build a machine you yourselves would fear
You will not be remembered for good intentions - but for what you leave behind
Think about how it will affect us all. Choose security, not surveillance. 
This is your moment
Don't waste it.
To everyone else: You don't have to be from Europe
to care
When harmful laws pass without resistance - the impact is felt everywhere
We are citizens of one digital world
And in that world, staying silent comes at the highest cost 
Freedom does not die loudly. It disappears - quietly
- unless we stop it
