  • A website called Fight Chat Control was created by a Danish software engineer to oppose a EU bill aimed at stopping child sexual abuse material online.
  • The website allows users to send mass emails to government officials and MEPs about concerns over the bill, which critics say threatens encryption and enables mass surveillance.
  • Since its launch, the site has overwhelmed MEPs' inboxes and caused significant disruption in Brussels.
