Black campaign graphic titled “STOP CHAT CONTROL – Call your MEP now!”. In the centre a dark box labelled “Phone Script” gives an English script for calling an MEP’s office. It suggests: introduce yourself and country, say you’re calling about the planned extension of the “Chat Control” regulation (2021/1232), and ask for the MEP’s position on the mass scanning of private messages. A red highlight box contains the key request: ask the MEP, via their staff, to contact their group’s shadow rapporteur this week and urge them not to extend indiscriminate mass surveillance, because the current draft still allows mass scanning of private chats of unsuspected citizens (hash‑scanning). The script ends by saying that protecting children is important, but mass surveillance is not the solution, and thanking them. At the bottom is the website fightchatcontrol.eu.

Campaign graphic on a black background with the headline «STOP CHAT CONTROL – Call your MEP now!». Below is a very large grid of portrait tiles showing many Members of the European Parliament from different countries. Each tile includes a name, political affiliation, Brussels office phone number and a phone icon. Some tiles are bright green with a check mark, indicating MEPs who are clearly against Chat Control. Others are dark with a red question mark, meaning their position on mass scanning of private chats is unknown and they are the priority to call. At the bottom centre is the campaign website: fightchatcontrol.eu.

Extension of interim rules to combat child sexual abuse online must address shortcomings and prevent indiscriminate scanning

Age verification is not en never was about protecting children. It's about mass surveillance.

"Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years."

#ChatControl must be stopped because it:

🚨 Undermines Europe's digital sovereignty

🚨 Weakens everybody's security

Voluntary Chat Control is already in place since 2021, named Regulation (EU) 2021/1232. Similar to scanning obligations in the UK and the USA, this regulation allows Big Tech to scan all your data. But what do services scan based on this regulation, do they also scan old messages, and what does this mean for data protection and privacy? A deep dive.

Chat Control 1.0 lets Big Tech scan ALL your messages. 👀

And the EU wants this to continue. Decision is this WEDNESDAY.

@Ketakater The MEPs marked with a green checkmark or their group oppose an extension of #ChatControl 1.0 already and don't need calling.

Sharepic „Chatkontrolle stoppen – Ruf jetzt deinen Abgeordneten an!“ mit ausführlichem Telefonskript. Schwarze Box mit Formulierungshilfe: Man stellt sich mit Namen vor, sagt, dass man wegen der geplanten Verlängerung der Verordnung 2021/1232 („Chatkontrolle“) anruft, fragt nach der Haltung des/der Abgeordneten im LIBE‑Ausschuss, ob er/sie sich gegen massenhafte, verdachtslose Durchleuchtung privater Nachrichten ausspricht und ob es schon eine Fraktionslinie gibt. In einer roten Box die zentrale Bitte: Der/die Abgeordnete soll sich beim Schattenberichterstatter der Fraktion dafür einsetzen, dass die anlasslose Massenüberwachung nicht verlängert wird, weil der aktuelle Entwurf weiterhin Hash‑Scanning privater Chats erlaubt. Danach Argumente: Kinderschutz ist wichtig, aber Fehlalarme und Überlastung der Behörden sprechen gegen Massenscans; auch der Europäische Datenschutzbeauftragte warnt vor allgemeinem Scannen. Am Ende soll um eine kurze Rückmeldung per E‑Mail gebeten werden.

Sharepic im Kampagnendesign „Chatkontrolle stoppen – Ruf jetzt deinen Abgeordneten an!“. Schwarzer Hintergrund, oben Titel in Weiß und Neongrün. Darunter ein Raster mit 17 deutschen EU‑Abgeordneten: Anja Arndt (AfD), Katarina Barley (SPD), Özlem Demirel (Die Linke), Lena Düpont (CDU), Daniel Freund (Grüne), Monika Hohlmeier (CSU), Mary Khan (AfD), Moritz Körner (FDP), Erik Marquardt (Grüne), Verena Mertens (CDU), Hannah Neumann (Grüne), Jan‑C. Oetjen (FDP), Oliver Schenk (CDU), Alexander Sell (AfD), Birgit Sippel (SPD), Martin Sonneborn (Die PARTEI), Axel Voss (CDU). Jede Kachel zeigt Foto, Partei, die Überschrift „Büro Brüssel“ und die Telefonnummer. Grüne Kacheln mit Häkchen markieren Abgeordnete, die klar gegen Chatkontrolle sind; dunkle Kacheln mit rotem Fragezeichen solche, deren Haltung unklar ist und deren Büros laut Aktion angerufen werden sollen. Unten die Adresse „fightchatcontrol.de“.
