In order to blackmail lawmakers into agreeing to the totalitarian #ChatControl #CSAM scanner, EU Home Affairs Commissioner @YlvaJohansson at a conference just openly lied in the face of ministers. Let’s fact-check her lies one by one: Thread (1/6)

(Jan 17, 2023)

Johansson‘s lie #1: Without adoption of #ChatControl by 2024, police have no means of prosecution.

Not true. Plus #ChatControl does not significantly contribute to protecting children from sexual abuse.

Lie #2: We don’t open new doors for detection.

Truth is: Under the proposed #ChatControl legislation for the first time all providers of messaging, e-mail and chat services could be compelled to deploy error-prone incrimination machines.

Lie #3: Only after a court order may police search our communications.

Wrong again. According to the proposal, any „independent authority“ could order indiscriminate #ChatControl searches of our private correspondence.

Lie #4: Without the #ChatControl law, law enforcement agencies lack 80% of all leads.

There are no source to back up this figure. To the contrary, there would be a massive increase in false suspicions, with severe consequences for those affected.
