    It would help your cause a lot if you explained what it was about.

            A-ha! So there’s a bit of both client issues and user error. My client crops the preview image of the site. And when I clicked the link to the mastodon post, I didn’t pay attention to the image because I had already seen it in the client.

            Still, this being a general privacy group, it would be good if OP didn’t assume the reader was familiar with current EU politics. A small paragraph would be enough to contextualize the post.

          It works well for me. But let me paste it here anyway:

          Chat control is back on the agenda of EU governments. EU governments are to express their position on the latest proposal on 23 September. EU Ministers of the Interior are to adopt the proposal on 10/11 October. Latest update of 12 September…

          In June we managed to stop the unprecedented plan by an extremely narrow “blocking minority” of EU governments: Chat control proponents achieved 63.7% of the 65% of votes threshold required in the Council of the EU for a qualified majority.

          Several formerly opposed governments such as France have already given up their opposition. Several still critical governments are only asking for small modifications (e.g. searching for “known content” only or excluding end-to-end encryption) which would still result in mass searches and leaks of our private communications. Therefore there is a real threat that the required majority for mass scanning of private communications may be achieved at any time under the current Hungarian presidency (Hungary being a supporter of the proposal).

          That is why we now need to get involved and raise our voices to our governments and raise awareness in the wider population.
          → Previously supportive governments must be convinced to change their minds
          → Critical governments need to be pushed to demand comprehensive changes, as proposed by the European Parliament, and not just minor changes to the proposal.

          In the absence of such fundamental revision, the proposal should be rejected altogether.
