    A website set up by an unknown Dane

    The website, called Fight Chat Control, was set up by Joachim, a 30-year-old software engineer living in Aalborg, Denmark.

    Does anyone fucking proof-read anything any more? Or does unknown just mean ‘not famous’ these days? FML.

    The site lets visitors compile a mass email warning about the bill and send it to national government officials, members of the European Parliament and others with ease

    Why are they talking about this as if it’s a strange thing to happen and disruptive? I’ve seen lots of websites about a political issue that help people send emails to their representatives, isn’t that just a normal part of democracy?

    the website is great really

    And btw it seems like you can easily use it to “contact” all Eu represanatives for other matters aswell, it generates a list of the mail addresses of whoever (national or eu) you choose, optional everyone, and then you can copy it to your mail account and write them

    It is not much but it feels good doing something, maybe one person might read it atleast

    is giving a massive headache to those trying to pass a European bill aimed at stopping child sexual abuse material from spreading online.

    Hot garbage lies

      I see two lies.

      First, obviously the bill is not about stopping CSAM.

      The second, in no way is this a massive headache to anyone. You guys know email filters are a thing right?

      The same guys relentlessly defending the child mass murders in Gaza, here cosplay as being against child sexual abuse.

      The irony is so massive that I’m surprised a black hole didn’t form at Politico’s main office in Germany.

      Politico’s framing leans pro‑legislation, subtly signaling support for the bill by foregrounding officials and advocates who stress enforcement while downplaying arguments about encryption and civil liberties. Its emphasis on the public’s “disruptive” tactics risks delegitimizing grassroots opposition by casting broad civic engagement as mere nuisance rather than substantive democratic protest.

        Politico is owned by Germany’s largest right leaning yellow press publisher Axel Springer. They love to push Anti-Green, ultra conservative agendas

          And Mathias Döpfner is himself an out of touch billionaire-class nut who applauds the tamping of freedoms (including of the press) and jumps at every chance to breathe life into lies that advance his oligarchic wet dreams. The kind of person who says horrible things, then lies about saying them, and when confronted with the receipts, pretends he was just being “edgy” or “provocative” to provoke the plebs.

          News organizations that exist to accurately report the news and properly inform the public are the exception now, I’m afraid. The rest have an agenda, and it never involves the common good.

          Axel Springer also gave an “award” to Sam Altman. Trump’s not the only “American king” demanding tributes!

    The campaign has irked some recipients. “In terms of dialog within a democracy, this is not a dialog,” said Lena Düpont, a German member of the European People’s Party group and its home affairs spokesperson, of the mass emails.

    Then open your eyes and ears and pay attention. If you did, then people wouldnt be forced to send you these emails. Germany is still “undecided” on this issue and we could basically single-handedly decide the outcome. If Germany votes against then it wont pass.

      For crying out loud… she is right. After she/they didn’t initiated the much needed dialog (for the xth. time), this was a protest note, sent by those they were talking about, but not listening to. Still a very democratic process.

          The quote says: “this is not a dialog”. I’m arguing against Düpont as they failed to initiate a dialog the several times they tried to pass the exact same regulation.
