Do you actually like using this forum, whether it is LARPing, debating, memeing, or just DM’ing friends? Then pay attention. Under the EU’s proposed Chat Control law, platforms like this, along with Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and almost any forum or messaging service with private chats, could be forced into constant surveillance.
This is not a conspiracy. It is exactly what is being proposed. The EU wants to force providers to scan all messages, images, and files, including private DMs. They plan client-side scanning, which means the content is scanned before encryption. Your device becomes a surveillance tool. Sites that refuse could face fines, court orders, domain seizures, or shutdown, meaning your favorite communities could vanish.
And this is only the beginning. If Chat Control passes, it sets a precedent for governments to demand more intrusive monitoring. Surveillance could expand to facial recognition in public spaces, behavior tracking, eye and hand movement in apps, and predictive behavior analysis. Today it is “stop CSAM” scanning. Tomorrow it could be profiling everyone based on actions, interactions, and even physical behavior.
Non-EU users, pay attention. Once the EU succeeds, other governments will likely copy the model, forcing global platforms to comply. Even services outside the EU could be pressured, restricted, or blocked. Your private communications may not stay private.
If you value private communication, online freedom, and diverse communities, act now:
