Itβs evident that Denmark is adamant on resurrecting the proposal so many times it gets vetoed. I suggest we start ramping up protests against countries that support it, particularly through boycotts?
I think there is more that can be done, but that is what I can think of off the top of my head.
EU folks! Contact your MEPs and denand they oppose Chat Control!

If anyone is good with infographics, I would like to ask for your help.
So far, the intent is to discourage these laws from passing, and pressure for their repealment, or replacement of the governmentβs officials by whatever means necessary. We should NOT tolerate the overreach by the state into our private lives, and must actively look to detach ourselves fromβ¦
With the rampant rise in #BigBrother laws, I say it is time we start a campaign. We start by educating the general public. I would like to find someone to help make infographics. The other thing is compiling a list of companies in countries that people do business with for the purpose of a boycott.
URGENT: To all my European followers, I bring bad news: apparently Denmark is now trying to make a last minute push to pass chat control. The vote is tomorrow, so make sure you contact your MEPs and say NO to the proposal. fightchatcontrol.eu

I just had a realization: every generation has its own form of brainrot: one such example with the Dada movement that started in the late 1910s and lived on until the 1920s-30s. It could best be summed up as your (great) grandparentsβ brainrot. It was largely surrealist in expression.

Even the slightest acts of resistance can snowball into a revolution.
Their cruelty gives us tools to use against them. Feel free to take photos, disseminate the truth in whatever way you can, be it via the web, or in person. AI may be able to fabricate disinfo, but if there is one thing that I have learned, it can never re-create the actual events perfectly.
is the paradox of repression: a phenomenon that occurs when authoritarian regimes crack down, and it ultimately increases support for the protests and overall opposition, eroding support for the ruling powers. So in a nutshell, start using their violence as a means to put them on blast.

With the rise of authoritarianism all over, and with countries like the US and UK speedrunning totalitarianism, Iβd say it is important that we look to some of our most effective tools against the regimes. The first one is nonviolent protest. Of a number of case studies done, most autocraciesβ¦

e-6695 (Consumer protection) Keywords Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography E-petition Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario Original language of petition: English Petition details Petition to the House of Commons Whereas: Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content; In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites; As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that βadult onlyβ content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processorβs policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as βadult onlyβ; As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has βdeindexedβ all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to 1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services; 2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and 3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.
The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.
This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!
