The site lets visitors compile a mass email warning about the bill and send it to national government officials, members of the European Parliament and others with ease
Why are they talking about this as if it's a strange thing to happen and disruptive? I've seen lots of websites about a political issue that help people send emails to their representatives, isn't that just a normal part of democracy?

Normal part of democracy sighted GUNSHOTS

the same reason they say the bill is (objective) to fight CSAM and privacy activists say (subjective) it will break encryption and lead to mass surveillance
the owners of politico want the bill to pass-
now that you say it like that, i think it is really like that, they always portray the privacy and cybersecurty people as just having an opinion on this..

Government officials: right clicks email and sets up a filter to automatically move them to a separate folder, or just delete them
-
It is normal, and also irrelevant. Representatives don't read their (public) E-Mails.

Unfathomably based

The campaign has irked some recipients. “In terms of dialog within a democracy, this is not a dialog,” said Lena Düpont, a German member of the European People’s Party group and its home affairs spokesperson, of the mass emails.
Then open your eyes and ears and pay attention. If you did, then people wouldnt be forced to send you these emails. Germany is still "undecided" on this issue and we could basically single-handedly decide the outcome. If Germany votes against then it wont pass.

For crying out loud.. she is right. After she/they didn't initiated the much needed dialog (for the xth. time), this was a protest note, sent by those they were talking about, but not listening to. Still a very democratic process.

A website set up by an unknown Dane
The website, called Fight Chat Control, was set up by Joachim, a 30-year-old software engineer living in Aalborg, Denmark.
Does anyone fucking proof-read anything any more? Or does unknown just mean 'not famous' these days? FML.

A Dane with under a million followers, so a nobody really.

likely propaganda to influence how you think of him.

modern day hero
they should open snail mail to check it for CSAM I don't care
-
the website is great really
And btw it seems like you can easily use it to "contact" all Eu represanatives for other matters aswell, it generates a list of the mail addresses of whoever (national or eu) you choose, optional everyone, and then you can copy it to your mail account and write them
It is not much but it feels good doing something, maybe one person might read it atleast

Uk needs this for Britcard BS

Waow
Hot garbage lies
Politico’s framing leans pro‑legislation, subtly signaling support for the bill by foregrounding officials and advocates who stress enforcement while downplaying arguments about encryption and civil liberties. Its emphasis on the public’s “disruptive” tactics risks delegitimizing grassroots opposition by casting broad civic engagement as mere nuisance rather than substantive democratic protest.
Politico is owned by Germany's largest right leaning yellow press publisher Axel Springer. They love to push Anti-Green, ultra conservative agendas
I see two lies.
First, obviously the bill is not about stopping CSAM.
The second, in no way is this a massive headache to anyone. You guys know email filters are a thing right?
The same guys relentlessly defending the child mass murders in Gaza, here cosplay as being against child sexual abuse.
The irony is so massive that I'm surprised a black hole didn't form at Politico's main office in Germany.
