I e-mailed most of mine too, one of them said that chat control has "no concerns with privacy" and that it is an imperative bill for combating CSAM even if I linked a study stating government control does not affect much if anything on its spread.

They take us for idiots.

Maybe not for idiots, but they for sure believe there wont be enough people who actively oppose it, and im not sure if they are wrong.

More likely that they are the idiots unfortunately... Trying to educate a career politician about encryption will be similarly challenging to teaching a mentally challenged lemur about encryption. They're not being sidelined to the EU from national politics due to their advanced analytical skills...

They're just repeating what the lobbyists told them to say. They don't give a fuck what their constituents want.
