In October 2025, the European Union will vote on the so-called Chat Control. Under the pretext of fighting online child abuse, the regulation forces messaging and email platforms to inspect all communications, including encrypted ones.
The reaction is predictable: public outrage, YouTube videos, posts about “defending privacy.” But it’s all theater. Public perception is decades behind. What is being discussed as a novelty has been happening for a long time, invisibly and without any possibility of resistance.
Chat Control creates nothing — it merely legalizes what was already operational. The EU is preparing the political framework to give a veneer of transparency to surveillance mechanisms that never ceased to exist.
While the naïve rage about losing “digital privacy,” the reality is different: the real violation is not in the messages. It’s in the brain. Technologies like Voice to Skull (V2K) and Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM) (Link) enable real-time mind reading and manipulation, erasing any notion of private thought.
Snowden (Link) only exposed what was already obsolete: cables, servers, metadata, programs like PRISM. The elite allowed him to reveal disposable systems and kept the true core of power intact — the invisible engineering of the human brain.
This is the point: public discussion always revolves around the dead layer of technology. People argue over what no longer matters. What is decisive remains hidden, protected by collective ignorance.
The hysteria around Chat Control deserves nothing but contempt. Anyone who still believes the problem lies in messages or emails lives in an irrecoverable mental delay. What has already been lost is not privacy — it is mental autonomy.
