Chat control only needs to be successful once. The efforts against it need to be successful every time.
Lawmakers have decided that chat control is going to happen so they'll keep pushing until it does.
It's chat control. I only expect it to keep returning like a bad rash
It's getting harder and harder to not just give up. I did contact my representatives when the stop chat control campaign was rolling along. I did spread the word to family, friends, colleges and my students. All for what? This bs.
By what medium did you contact your representatives? Was there perhaps a van and a dark pillowcase involved? Your message engraved on a brick? Whispered in pillow talk? Why should they give a fuck what you think if you just send an email?
