Germany's Minister and Signal Threaten EU's Chat Control Law
Germany's Federal Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig has spoken out against the EU's proposed ChatGPT law, which aims to scan all private messages, photos, and videos. Hubig, along with the Signal Foundation president, has raised concerns about mass surveillance and the potential loss of basic civil rights.
Hubig has clearly stated that private communication should not be under general suspicion. She is committed to combating child pornography but opposes surrendering basic civil rights in the process. The Signal Foundation president has gone as far as threatening to remove Signal from the EU market if ChatGPT becomes law. In response to these concerns, German officials have announced that they will vote against the EU's ChatGPT proposal. Germany will not agree to the proposal at the EU level, making it a significant hurdle for the law's implementation.
The opposition from Germany's Federal Justice Minister and the Signal Foundation president has put the EU's ChatGPT proposal in jeopardy. With Germany's refusal to agree to the proposal at the EU level, the future of the law remains uncertain. The debate continues, with the focus on balancing digital security with privacy and civil rights.
