It’s not the EU yet. It’s a group of activists from Denmark. There wasn’t even preliminary voting on it yet.
Doesn’t mean we need to be complacent of course, but so far nothing happened.Maybe it’s time to restart some some old Greek traditions and propose a law that anyone proposing chat control - from here on out - gets banished for life from entering European soil ever again.
They were smart, those oiled fish-eating goatfuckers. So maybe yes, that - and also sortition and ostracism.
oiled-fish
Sun-rotten fish guts even, called Garum. Or nowadays Colatura di Alici, Pissata from Nizza, etc.
Garum is Roman. Oiled goatfuckers were Greek.
Oh, brainfart.
But to be exact, they likely had that too. Garum was in ancient to medieval times europe what soy sauce is to asia nowadays.
Speaking of Garum, it’s an interesting thing.
Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous.
Keep them informed, of course they care about your opinion, especially seeing how anyplace else in the world where such things were introduced there were successful revolutions and people doing that ended up in jail. Oops.
Is the EU not subject to GDPR?
Rules are for the people, not governments
Buy EU, am I right?
Geezus…
Ugh, this shit again…
Are there any initiatives out there to call a stop to this? Or even better, initiatives to introduce legislation that forbids setting up this kind of surveillance infrastructure altogether?
Patrick Breyer with the pirate party is my go to example of why small parties and extraparliamentary opposition is important. 99% of the people don’t even know him and he’s just doing such an sucessful job of protecting them anyway.
Thank you for helping us stop chat control! We from the Swedish Pirate Party are strongly against this!
They won’t.
With SKG going as well as it is, wouldn’t an ECI on chat control be in order?
The fuck is happening over there? Was there lead in the water?
It’s not lead, it’s Russians
Authoritarianism, duh. It’s a global thing.
You’re answering the how, but I’m asking for the why. 😅
More money. More power. More control over millions of people. Control over what you say? Not their problem; just control everything.
The ability to deny other what they want is a drug to some people; make them feel superior.
This is not the Europe I remember…
I know right? Need more style to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsFnLuqHa20
STASI enters the chat.
Hey at least Stasi only spied on people they suspected.
I’m starting to edit idcaboutprivacy more and more often (and that’s not a good thing)
Dude, I decided to make a personal note with lots of similar links regarding privacy, so that I can provide the source when I discuss these matters with people. But yours in much more thorough - and public. Thanks for saving me a ton of work!
That’s dope, glad it could help 🤟
I like the comapirson i heared at Anne Roths(https://systemli.social/@anneroth) talk(German):
You would never say: I don’t need free speech because I have nothing to say. Everyone profits from data privacy and free speech and some people are depending on their life on it.
Thank god my OS doesn’t care about EU regulation
Your OS doesn’t, put the messaging apps that your friends/family/coworkers use do.
And no, you can’t convince them to switch messager, I tried.
Currently, I, my entire Family and everyone I know use Signal. And everyone that doesn’t want to, can contact me via Matrix or XMPP, which literally no one ever does, even thought I know a lot of IT and CS people. I keep them as options regardless, just to offer them to people.
I mean, there is also phone, SMS and email of course, but people seem to prefer a new messenger over actually contacting me in any of these ways. And then I’m always like “look, you can choose one of countless ways to contact me, if you like none of them, that’s a you-problem”.
