The children they deem to protect are trembling in fear right now.

MODERATORS
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever" (1984 - George Orwell).
I suggest all of us to send a mail to the representatives of our country as Patrick Beyer suggests.
Feel free to post a list of emails.
so we can't have secrets but they can?
"Why do you care if you have nothing to hide?"
Government: hides their plans
Even more simply:
Government: closes their curtains in the evening.
That’s what I was thinking. You have to submit a request to read the document that wants to violate your privacy, it’s almost like some things are worth keeping private, but certainly not legislation violating that privacy.
What is chat control?
From what I can glean, it's another sort of mass surveillance, wherein the provider of a chat service would be required to monitor communications for "suspicious activity"
Basically, the government is once again asking for unrestricted access to your personal life "for your own good"
I always thought the "see something, say something" tag-line was creepy as fuck and don't understand why everyone doesn't get the same vibe. It's common sense that if you see someone being harmed or in a harmful situation you speak up. But this is just a blanket "see something" which feels like a dog whistle for all the nosy and paranoid people to spy on everyone and it's for the best. I guess we'll have the same personalities in search algorithms going forward -_-

Probably referring to the fact that the following text is in English (as opposed to German).
I gonna lose my shit.. How can they force it this much
They only need it to pass once, we need it to be rejected every single time.
This right here. We need to do the right thing over and over again, because once it passes it's done.
