CHAT CONTROL


THE END OF THE PRIVACY OF DIGITAL CORRESPONDENCE

The EU decided to let providers search all private chats, messages, and emails
automatically for suspicious content – generally and indiscriminately. The
stated aim: To prosecute child pornography. The result: Mass surveillance by
means of fully automated real-time messaging and chat control and the end of
secrecy of digital correspondence. A majority of the Members of the European
Parliament adopted the chatcontrol regulation on 6 July 2021.

Chatcontrol 2.0 will follow soon

But this is not the end of the story: For autumn 2021, European Commission
announced that it will propose a follow-up legislation that will make the use of
chatcontrol mandatory for all e-mail and messenger providers. This legislation
might then also affect securely end-to-end encrypted communications. However, a
public consultation by the Commission on this project showed that the majority
of respondents, both citizens and stakeholders, were opposed to an obligation to
use chat control. Over 80% of respondents opposed its application to end-to-end
encrypted communications. As a result, the Commission postponed the draft
legislation originally announced for July to December 2021 Q1 2022. 

Protest now to the responsible EU commissioners!

Politely tell them your concerns about chat control (arguments below).
Experience shows that a phone call is more effective than e-mails or letters.
Officially, the planned obligation for message and chat control is called
“legislation to effectively tackle child sexual abuse online”. If authorities
try to excuse themselves by saying that the EU Commissioner for Home Affairs
(Directorate-General for Home Affairs) is responsible, point out that all EU
Commissioners can vote on draft legislation and raise concerns at an early
stage.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?



In 2020 the European Commission proposed “temporary” legislation aimed at
allowing the search of all private chats, messages, and emails for illegal
depictions of minors and attempted initiation of contacts with minors. This is
to allow the providers of Facebook Messenger, Gmail, et al, to scan every
message for suspicious text and images. This takes place in a fully automated
process and using error-prone “artificial intelligence”. If an algorithm
considers a message suspicious, its content and meta-data are disclosed
automatically and without human verification to a private US-based organization
and from there to national police authorities worldwide. The reported users are
not notified.

Some U.S. providers of services such as Gmail and Outlook.com are already
performing such automated messaging and chat controls. Through a second piece of
legislation, the EU Commission intends to oblige all providers of chat,
messaging and e-mail services to deploy this mass surveillance technology. At
the same time, a representative survey conducted in March 2021 clearly shows
that a majority of Europeans oppose the use of chat control  (Detailed poll
results here).

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?

 * All of your chat conversations and emails will be automatically searched for
   suspicious content. Nothing remains confidential or secret. There is no
   requirement of a court order or an initial suspicion for searching your
   messages. It occurs always and automatically.
 * If an algorithms classifies the content of a message as suspicious, your
   private or intimate photos may be viewed by staff and contractors of
   international corporations and police authorities. Also your private nude
   photos may be looked at by people not known to you, in whose hands your
   photos are not safe.
 * Flirts and sexting may be read by staff and contractors of international
   corporations and police authorities, because text recognition filters looking
   for “child grooming” frequently falsely flag intimate chats.
 * You can falsely be reported and investigated for allegedly disseminating
   child sexual exploitation material. Messaging and chat control algorithms are
   known to flag completely legal vacation photos of children on a beach, for
   example. According to Swiss federal police authorities, 86% of all
   machine-generated reports turn out to be without merit. 40% of all criminal
   investigation procedures initiated in Germany for “child pornography” target
   minors.
 * On your next trip overseas, you can expect big problems. Machine-generated
   reports on your communications may have been passed on to other countries,
   such as the USA, where there is no data privacy – with incalculable results.
 * Intelligence services and hackers may be able to spy on your private chats
   and emails. The door will be open for anyone with the technical means to read
   your messages if secure encryption is removed in order to be able to screen
   messages.
 * This is only the beginning. Once the technology for messaging and chat
   control has been established, it becomes very easy to use them for other
   purposes. And who guarantees that these incrimination machines will not be
   used in the future on our smart phones and laptops?

TIMELINE

The trilogue negotiations on the draft law, in which representatives of the
European Parliament negotiate with EU governments with the participation of the
EU Commission, were concluded in May. Voluntary chat control is coming! Here is
my press release on the outcome of the negotiations. The final vote in the
European Parliament is scheduled for 6 July.

In autumn 2021 the EU Commission intends to make a second legislative proposal,
which is to force all providers of email, messaging and chat services to
comprehensively search all private messages in the absence of any suspicion.

According to the case-law of the European Court of Justice the permanent and
comprehensive automated analysis of private communications violates fundamental
rights and is prohibited (paragraph 177). For this reason, Member of the
European Parliament Patrick Breyer has filed a complaint against U.S. companies
Facebook and Google with the data protection authorities for violating the
General Data Protection Regulation. Former judge of the European Court of
Justice Prof. Dr. Ninon Colneric has extensively analysed the plans and
concludes in a legal assessment that the EU legislative plans on chat control
are not in line with the case law of the European Court of Justice and violate
the fundamental rights of all EU citizens to respect for privacy, to data
protection and to freedom of expression.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Talk about it! Inform others about the dangers of chat control. Here, you can
find tweet templates, share pics and videos. Of course, you can also create your
own images and videos.Generate attention on social media! Use the hashtags
#chatcontrol and #secrecyofcorrespondence Reach out to your representatives in
Parliament! If you want, you can use pre-worded message for this purpose.
However, experience has shown that individually worded messages are more
effective. Generate media attention! So far very few media have covered the
messaging and chat control plans of the EU. Get in touch with newspapers and ask
them to cover the subject – online and offline.Ask your e-mail, messaging and
chat service providers! Avoid Gmail, Facebook Messenger, outlook.com and the
chat function of X-Box, where indiscriminate chat control is already taking
place. Ask your email, messaging and chat providers if they generally monitor
private messages for suspicious content, or if they plan to do so.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ARGUMENTS

 * All citizens are placed under suspicion, without cause, of possibly having
   committed a crime. Text and photo filters monitor all messages, without
   exception. No judge is required to order to such monitoring – contrary to the
   analog world which guarantees the privacy of correspondence and the
   confidentiality of written communications. According to a judgment by the
   European Court of Justice, the permanent and general automatic analysis of
   private communications violates fundamental rights (case C-511/18, Paragraph
   192). Nevertheless, the EU now intends to adopt such legislation. For the
   court to annul it can take years. Therefore we need to prevent the adoption
   of the legislation in the first place.
 * The confidentiality of private electronic correspondence is being sacrificed.
   Users of messenger, chat and e-mail services risk having their private
   messages read and analyzed. Sensitive photos and text content could be
   forwarded to unknown entities worldwide and can fall into the wrong hands.
   NSA staff have reportedly circulated nude photos of female and male citizens
   in the past. A Google engineer has been reported to stalk minors.
 * Indiscriminate messaging and chat control wrongfully incriminates hundreds of
   users every day. According the Swiss Federal Police, 90% of machine-reported
   content is not illegal, for example harmless holiday photos showing nude
   children playing at a beach.
 * Securely encrypted communication is at risk. Up to now, encrypted messages
   cannot be searched by the algorithms. To change that back doors would need to
   be built in to messaging software. As soon as that happens, this security
   loophole can be exploited by anyone with the technical means needed, for
   example by foreign intelligence services and criminals. Private
   communications, business secrets and sensitive government information would
   be exposed. Secure encryption is needed to protect minorities, LGBTQI people,
   democratic activists, journalists, etc.
 * Criminal justice is being privatized. In the future the algorithms of
   corporations such as Facebook, Google, and Microsoft will decide which user
   is a suspect and which is not. The proposed legislation contains no
   transparency requirements for the algorithms used. Under the rule of law the
   investigation of criminal offences belongs in the hands of independent judges
   and civil servants under court supervision.
 * Indiscriminate messaging and chat control creates a precedent and opens the
   floodgates. Deploying technology for automatically monitoring all online
   communications is dangerous: It can very easily be used for other purposes in
   the future, for example copyright violations, drug abuse, or “harmful
   content”. In authoritarian states such technology is to identify and arrest
   government opponents and democracy activists. Once the technology is deployed
   comprehensively, there is no going back.
 * The temporary legislation on the table is ineffective. Contrary to its
   intent, it will not allow Facebook et al to continue the mass monitoring of
   private correspondence. It does limit the ePrivacy directive. The chat
   control, however, will continue to violate the General Data Protection
   Regulation (DSGVO) because it lacks a legal basis and violates the principle
   of proportionality. A complaint filed by Patrick Breyer is being examined by
   the Irish Data Protection Agency.


WHY MESSAGING AND CHAT CONTROL HARMS CHILDREN AND ABUSE VICTIMS

Proponents claim indiscriminate messaging and chat control facilitates the
prosecution of child sexual exploitation. However, this argument is
controversial, even among victims of child sexual abuse. In fact messaging and
chat control can hurt victims and potential victims of sexual exploitation:

 1. Safe spaces are destroyed. Victims of sexual violence are especially in need
    of the ability to communicate safely and confidentially to seek counseling
    and support, for example to safely exchange among each other, with their
    therapists or attorneys. The introduction of real-time monitoring takes
    these safe rooms away from them. This can discourage victims from seeking
    help and support.
 2. Self-recorded nude photos of minors (sexting) end up in the hands of company
    employees and police where they do not belong and are not safe.
 3. Minors are being criminalized. Especially young people often share intimate
    recordings with each other (sexting). With messaging and chat control in
    place, their photos and videos may end up in the hands of criminal
    investigators. German crime statistics demonstrate that 40% of all
    investigations for child pornography target minors.
 4. Indiscriminate messaging and chat control does not contain the circulation
    of illegal material but actually makes it more difficult to prosecute child
    sexual exploitation. It encourages offenders to go underground and use
    private encrypted servers which can be impossible to detect and intercept.
    Even on open channels, indiscriminate messaging and chat control does not
    contain the volume of material circulated, as evidenced by the constantly
    rising number of machine reports.

 * Alexander Hanff (Victim of Child Abuse and Privacy Activist): “EU Parliament

   over 500M Europeans” (4 Dezember 2020)

 * German Data Protection Supervisor (in German): „BfDI kritisiert versäumte
   Umsetzung von EU Richtlinie“ (17 Dezember 2020)

> “A blanket and unprovoked monitoring of digital communication channels is

 * European Digital Rights (EDRi): Wiretapping children’s private

 * German Bar Association (DAV): “Indiscriminate communications scanning is
   disproportionate” (9 March 2021)

 * Letter from the President of the German Bar Association (DAV) and the
   President of the Federal Bar Association (BRAK) (in German) (8 March 2021)

> “Positive hits with subsequent disclosure to governmental and non-governmental

 * Strategic autonomy in danger: European Tech companies warn of lowering data
   protection levels in the EU (15 April 2021)

> “In the course of the initiative “Fighting child sexual abuse: detection,
> removal, and reporting of illegal content”, the European Union plans to

 * Article in “Welt.de: Crime scanners on every smartphone – EU plans major
   surveillance attack“ (in German) (4 November 2021)

> Experts from the police and academia are rather critical of the EU’s plan: on
