#2Great work! that Ad targeting EU politicians is savage!
Re: Mullvad's campaign against EU chat control
#3This seems like an appropriate campaign to reach people who probably don't think about this kind of stuff. I think there's more than enough HN articles that show the tech circle's opposition to these kinds of measures already. Energy is better spent explaining the issue to others and advocating for the right thing.

#4To be honest I'm not very hopeful. The average Joe really is gullible - just drop some terrorism, children and nowadays some "preventing misinformation" bs (which of course has never and will never be twisted to fit government's needs at the time) to the mix and people will accept it.
Nevertheless I support these campaigns since I'm more than happy to be proven wrong.

First ad:
Kid: Haha!! Did you send the photo to mom, dad?
Dad's phone: Your photo has triggered our criminal activities filter. Your online services have been suspended and the police has been alerted.
Caption: Create safe spaces online for children instead of making the internet unsafe for everyone.
...
Second ad:
First worker: Weren't we just supposed to look for sexual crimes and terrorism?
Second worker: That was during the previous government.
Third worker: adds a 'race' label
Caption: The governments of today say they will monitor serious crimes. What will the governments of tomorrow say?

I'm not either. But it's always a fight worth fighting. If nobody is vocally against this stuff, governments can just go "see, nobody even wants full privacy anyways."

This is often where creative memes help.
This wouldn't be the first issue where some public education is needed.

#10Great to see a campaign like this being rolled out to the public. Wish there were orgs in the US that could spend this kind of money.
