A map of Europe titled "Help Stop #ChatControl!" shows countries color-coded by their government's stance on Chat Control in 2025. The legend indicates: green for "Not in favour," blue for "Undecided/Unclear," and red for "In favour." Countries in favour (red) are: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia, and Spain. Countries not in favour (green) are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Netherlands and Poland. Countries undecided or unclear (blue) are: Estonia, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Romania, and Sweden (in favour, but subject to approval by Parliament). The map includes the text "Is your government opposing it yet?" and a call to action at the bottom: "Act now! www.chatcontrol.eu".

A meme of several panels The top panel contains cartoonish drawings of phones with progressively increasing numbers of camera lenses. First 1 lens, then 2, then 3, then 4, 5 and 6 becoming more and more a circle of lens "holes". Finally, an image of a phone with a full circle of lens "holes" resembling a rotary "dial" based telephone, and hands lifting a receiver and dialling. The text across the top reads: "WE'RE GETTING THERE"
