C'est avec beaucoup de peine que nous avons appris mardi soir le départ de Lovis IX, cofondateur d'Exodus Privacy, président actuel de l'association et surtout ami.

Hacktiviste vindicatif, il savait en découdre avec les administrations et nous a aidé à en découdre avec les pisteurs. Que ce soit au clavier avec ses bons mots ou au pétrin avec son pain, il avait à cœur de nourrir les personnes qu'il rencontrait. Ses râleries autant que ses blagues nous manqueront.

Part three of our legal series is live, and stuff becomes serious.

We spoke with a range of legal experts, software freedom advocates, and maintainers of mature FOSS infrastructure to understand how others manage legal take-down requests.

It seems that together with civil society and politicians who actually care, this time we managed to prevent #chatcontrol again, luckily. Can we please not have to do that anymore?

We (over 50 scientists) have put (yet another) open letter to the EU commission online, detailing while we do not believe anything has changed in the recent iteration of #chatcontrol proposals that would make it any less unsafe: https://csa-scientist-open-letter.org/Sep2025

Please boost. Next week there will be (another) decision!

We did it: DE 🇩🇪 LU🇱🇺 & SK🇸🇰 just decided to oppose Chat Control! 🥳

Thanks everyone for your help and keep fighting the good fight. 🫶

Chat Control will not get a majority - at least not today.
