Everyone in the EU should be pushing their politicians on this issue, as it definitely affects Monero in the EU.
Are you certain that they still are voting this week?I thought it was last week and that it was stopped again (for now at least),
see the message by Patrick Breyer here: https://lemmy.ml/post/23312136But if you still want to take action anyways, which can’t hurt,
I’ve found following Change.org petitions regarding it:Are you certain that they still are voting this week?Nvm, indeed the timeline on Patrick Breyer’s site mentions:
12 December 2024: EU interior ministers to confirm mandatory chat control (chat control 2.0) proposal https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#timeline
I hope instant crypto exchanges, like SimpleSwap or Exolix, will remain open. They are the easiest way to buy and sell Monero.
