Contact your MEP. Online petitions do nothing.

They've failed two times before. Let's make them fail again.

I'm not from the EU, but the thing is, once governments get a taste of the power over it's citizens that these policies allow, they don't relinquish it.

Pre 9/11, the US was already egregiously encroaching on the privacy of it's citizens, see Snowden's book, blog, et al. Post 9/11 America was reeling from the audacity of some faction with the nerve to attack us on our soil. I mean, we're usually the ones to do that, funding both sides of an altercation to serve our on interests. $800 billion dollar pentagon budget just to bomb brown people. Call it what it is. Anyways, the people cried out to their government 'Please save us from those evil terrorists.' Our government said 'Sure.....it's going to cost you tho.' 'What's it going to cost us. Taxes are already sky high.' 'Well, it's going to cost you your privacy.' 'SHit, I'm not doing anything wrong...what do I have to hide.' <record scratch - narrator> 'Everything you dumbass.'

This word 'hide' has been embedded into people's minds and is a testament to the power of propaganda, of which, the American propaganda machine has no equals. When you talk about privacy, security, and anonymity, I can almost guarantee you, the person you are talking to replaces 'private' with 'hide' in their mind. This notion is what governments prey on.

Why is this petition hosted on the USA government site Change.org for USA citizens instead of ECI where there are legal requirements for the EU to take action on petitions?

A "political blackmail" – the EU Parliament is pressing for an agreement on the chat scanning bill

Fast and Automated and way to contact your domestic and EU representative!

Is signing the partition helpful if I'm not an eu citizen?

Not a citizen nor resident of the member states of EU but in Europe and my country is intimately connected, seems our neighbours are about to support this bill as well, which is very disappointing.

This petition is full of inaccurate claims.

The end-to-end encryption will be abolished and the EU is proposing using pre-installed backdoors to electronic devices, giving the authorities access to all data. Confidential medical files, legal documents, contracts and other agreements, including private letters.
