L'UE potrà LEGGERE i tuoi messaggi: Chat Control approvato senza maggioranza

They sell it to us as an absolute necessity: protecting minors. But beneath this noble promise lies an infrastructure that reads, catalogs, and judges the private messages of 450 million Europeans. On Thursday, July 9, 2026, in the silence of the Strasbourg Chamber, emptied for the summer holidays, a true democratic short circuit unfolded: the majority of MEPs present voted against extending Chat Control, yet the law passed anyway. In this video, we dismantle the procedural trick of the "second reading" that allowed a minority to keep Regulation 2021/1232 afloat. We analyze official European Commission data demonstrating the utter failure of this tool (11.7 billion private content items scanned by Microsoft to find 0.0002% positives, with 80% false alarms according to the Swiss police). But above all, we connect the dots to understand what's really at stake. Citing Shoshana Zuboff's analysis of Surveillance Capitalism, we discover why your data isn't valuable for the money it makes, but for the predictive power it generates. Because whoever can predict you, can govern you. And the September battle over Chat Control 2.0 (scanning encrypted chats directly on your smartphone) is already upon us. ✅ My Broker I've Always Used INTERACTIVE BROKERS: 👉https://www.interactivebrokers.ie/mkt... 📲 SCALABLE Capital: My Broker for Stocks and ETFs 👉https://partner.scalable-capital.de/g...
