EU Citizens have 4 days: the clock is ticking!
European countries are finalizing their positions on Chat Control this Friday. If your country supports Chat Control, it is vital you contact your representatives and voice your opposition to the EU's latest surveillance and censorship tactic. 
The latest from staff writer Em: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/09/08/chat-control-must-be-stopped/

I can guarantee that the effectiveness of Chat Control on the supposedly intended targets will be exactly zero.
Unapproved apps (such as Signal will be) run through Tor won't be easily stopped. Ask China, Russia, and Iran about that arms race. Device-based monitoring won't work on any existing device with updates blocked.
A pair of Graphene phones transmitting video over Tor of say, a cop getting his ass kicked at a pro-Palestine protest in Berlin or Paris would be entirely immune to this attack.
Even if "unapprovred" devices were blockrd from the Internet (the 20 year old "trusted computing" model), they could be tethered to "apprioved" devices such as wifi hotspots that do not decrypt tethered data and thus cannot monitor it.
Why do I focus on this? Defense in depth. No guarantees in any legislature or court, and I favor a "zero voluntary compliance" model. First they have to get past anti-Chat Control activism, which is a maybe. Even if they take that trench there is another one ready for the fight right behind it.
