[Members] Re: "Chat Control" EU project and impact on XMPP community ?

Dear Mickaël, many thanks for reaching out and also many thanks for this article. I second what you state and formulate in this text. There are very strong statements, especially the quotes below. If the others agree, we could reference this in our blog. I believe this is important and we should even consider to forward this to relevant persons. One of our members already stepped ahead: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1563 (Mickaël, I assume you are okay with this?) Best regards, Eddie _________ * "The concern isn't about protecting illegal content, it's about protecting democratic discourse. Private conversations could become subject to monitoring based on shifting political definitions of harmful speech. What begins as child protection infrastructure could evolve into a tool for suppressing political opposition or monitoring dissenting opinions in private communications." * "The programmed death of European alternatives. This regulation creates a structural disadvantage for European communication services trying to build alternatives to US tech giants." * "The October 14th vote represents more than a policy choice about child protection. It's a decision about whether Europe will cripple its own communication infrastructure in pursuit of surveillance capabilities that won't work as promised." On 22/09/2025 15:45, Mickaël Rémond wrote:
