If you are wondering why Chat Control
is being brought back so relentlessly,
despite a clear and strong opposition from citizens, human rights advocates, and child protection organizations alike,

Ben Franklin quote:

Thomas Jefferson: "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"

Unsurprisingly, most of the feedback is opposed to the regulation (~87%, see image).
Some opponents pointed out issues I hadn't even considered, some suggested useful alternatives to this #MassSurveillance regulation.
