Greetz from Germany, we have Chat Control now even though we've been trying to reject it for at least 3 years.

Autocracy is just everywhere these days, Noah get the boat.

No panacea here! Better in some points. In general privacy. OTOH many things are not afvancing.

In the EU, eCall is mandatory and disabling it fails most roadworthiness checks and voids most insurance policies, so it doesn't help much.

Also, while the EU does (for now) have stronger privacy protections for citizens against corporate interests, the opposite is true in most EU countries for Government surveillance.

This crap is being done because of EU rules. It's "for your protection." The vehicles are being secured from you.
