Third European Parliament vote on #MassSurveillance in 4 months? Why is the Council pushing MEPs to approve mass scanning of users’ private messages? 🚨

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, Check out her husband, there are reports he is involved in a surveillance business

Metsola pushed a new ethics code that demanded EU Parliament’s senior members declare conflicts of interest

Under those new rules, one person was left out: the president herself

1/4 🚨 Third European Parliament vote on #MassSurveillance in 4 months? Why is the Council pushing MEPs to approve mass scanning of users’ private messages? 🚨

😮 This week, due to an unprecedented move by European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, being described as her backstabbing her own institution, MEPs will be forced to vote once again on the interim ePrivacy derogation – sometimes known as “#ChatControl 1.0”.


Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.

I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.

This is not a drill.

If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.

They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊

: US citizens only worry that THEIR communication is intercepted. They care SHIT about foreigners such as Europeans who keep believing that the USA a trustworthy ally.

From techcrunch.com/2026/04/17/with…:

In sweeping up much of the world’s communications, the agencies also collect unfathomable amounts of information, including phone logs and emails, on Americans who interact with people subject to surveillance overseas. This data is collected despite constitutional protections that should shield Americans and people in the United States from government surveillance.

Non-US citizens have ZERO rights anyway.

When you read about Bans of Social Media for Teens and Age Verification, you must remember what it truly means:

• Official identification of every adult using social media.

• Deanonymization of every account, endangering groups that often rely on pseudonymity for safety, such as victims of domestic violence, victims of stalkers, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people.

• Putting every adult at great danger of exploitation, fraud, and identity theft by forcing them to share their official ID with a for-profit third-party company with no incentive to protect it. Breaches have already happened.

• Constructing a system of mass surveillance to attach every comment on social media to a legal identity. Effectively allowing authoritarian governments to silence their critics and opposition.

• Potential for dystopian censorship and cutting off means of organization for groups of resistance to oppressive regime and organizations.

• Endangering children online by putting a clear identification beacon over every child or family with children online.

• Endangering the data of children who will inevitably try to pass as adults, and have their information collected by the third-party for-profit company.

• Diminishing the value of official identification due to the inevitable data breaches, eventually pushing the system to require even more intrusive identification techniques, such as iris scans and fingerprints.

• Installing a system of mass surveillance capable of attaching even more information to everyone's legal identity. With a potential to built list of people in certain groups, and scale-up state censorship and discrimination in unprecedented ways.

• The list goes on and on.

This isn't about protecting the children.
It never was.

Do not be duped by this excuse used to convince you to let go of your human rights. They are only trying to manipulate people lacking information.

Stay informed on the issues related to Age Verification, and push back for your rights to privacy and democracy.

The future depends on us.

If you want to be part of The Resistance,
it will cost you your smart speaker, your Ring doorbell, your smart glasses, and your AI assistants.

Mass surveillance is incompatible with revolution. Get rid of it.
