As EU citizen is there any way I can fight this? I doubt contacting my country's representatives in the EU will help, considering the current political situation they can benefit more from this happening. Law enforcement is already known for abusing surveillance against political opponents, they are going to enjoy this.

Even if it is does not seem very promising, I think it is still important to point out to your representatives once again that their plans do not reflect the will of the people and that it is unacceptable to keep trying to push them through anyway.
As long as they continue to try, against all reason, to push this plan through without consulting the citizens, the population should express its rejection.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid there is not much else we can do other than inform our friends about this important issue and not let our representatives get away with it without protest.
Email templates and the addresses of representatives in all EU countries can be found here: Fight Chat Control
Educate your friends and relatives and write your representatives at every level. It’s only a small difference but it’s something.
The only way you personally can fight it will end with you dead or in prison.
We have, thankfully, not yet fallen to the US's level of tyranny
At this point, I am ashamed of Denmark - one of the countries backing this idea (and if i am not misinformed the country who came up with it?). I have lived here for 30+ years and they do many things right, but recently the government has taken too many liberties and given itself way too much power to decide what people can do
This is also apparent on the opinion polls. The government (currently 3 more or less central parties) and especially the ruling party (theoretically left but sliding fast towards the center), have lost a lot of its backup from the public
They did come up with this particular iteration, but the whole idea is inherited from previous EU administrations. It has been a long time goal of the EU to implement something like this. Doesn't excuse the Danish premiership though, as they could just as easily have dropped it, especially after the recent rejection, instead of adamantly keep changing the proposition until something sticks.
Very on par for Mette Frederiksen and her government in Denmark as well: Arrogant and authoritarian, seemingly with no care for the increasingly bad polling of which something like this doesn't help.
I agree completely other than one important detail: while they sell themselves as center left, absolute center, and center right, the government parties are in reality authoritarian right wing parties and have been for at least a decade and a half.
Especially when it comes to immigration policy and issues of state control/overreach like Chat Control.
Wait... How is this a meme? It just seems like a PSA.
And if it is, why is it worthy of this community?
there isn't really anything stating that posts should be memes, the name is a bit misleading because it came from whitepeopletwitter, which people wanted to make more general. Any microblog post is theoretically allowed as long as it follows the rules in the sidebar. This arguably counts as brand promotion/guerilla marketing, although I think the message is divorced enough from the brand to be acceptable.
Fuck that shit, I have news and politics subscriptions for that. There is no worse way to get info or opinions about actually important stuff than microblog.
Hey, you do realize that you can go make your own post with whatever source you want if you don't like it? But this microblogmeme has informed you and at least 450 other people so it has done "something" even if it doesn't meet your perfect criteria of promoting important info.
But if you're just wanting to look like a reactionary and petulant fediverse user then no further action needed.
Places like the threadiverse only work if people put stuff in the appropriate place. Creating more posts doesn't fix it when people fail to do that.
I'm not more informed than I was before because I don't trust anything from twatter to be anything other than paid-for propaganda. That doesn't matter if it's an actual meme or joke.
Sounds like this is not the place for you then.
I looked at the current posts and nope, looks like the op just chose something shit/posted it to an inappropriate community.
I had to do the same thing. I spend a little time each day blocking and filtering out political posts here and I really didn't want to block this community.
