The European Commission has launched a public consultation to gather your views about the impact of data retention rules in view of adoption of legislative and non-legislative measures at EU level. Here's EDRi's guide on how to answer the tricky consultation.

Every EU representative who is in favor of chat control should be seen as a traitor to the people they are supposed to represent, a traitor of european values and a high risk criminal.
After all, they won't be surveilled at all under that law.
As europeans we have a history of mass surveillance by oppressive governments, and it is our responsibility to never let that happen again!

I know there's a general "cause fatigue" with the current state of the world, and I feel it too.
But in my years working in privacy,
I don't think I've seen anything as terrifying as this European Chat Control proposal. And I'm not even European.
Everyone needs to pay
much more attention and be much more worried and outraged about this.
This proposal is the most dystopian glimpse into a horrible authoritarian future I have seen so far in the West.
It looks dismal, but we can still stop it
if we all work TOGETHER NOW β
There isn't much time left though,
so don't put it to next week.
Democracy dies in silence.

Everyone: Spread the word on social media

The final vote is on October 14th,
but media and representatives need to receive your messages NOW, so they have enough time to act on it.

π¨ **Privacy Alert: The New French Surveillance Law** π¨
The proposed law not only targets drug trafficking but also poses a significant threat to the very foundation of our digital privacy. By mandating "backdoors" in encrypted messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp, this legislation compromises the security of all users. This sets a dangerous precedent that could lead to widespread surveillance and abuse.
π **Why It Matters**: Encryption is essential for safeguarding our personal communications from prying eyes, including those of malicious actors. If the government can access our messages, so can hackers.
π’ **Take Action**: Join the fight against this invasive law! If you are a French national or resident, contact your representatives and demand they prioritize our digital rights. π For more information, including how to find and contact your local representative, visit the French article: [La Quadrature du Net](https://www.laquadrature.net/narcotraficotage/).
