MODERATORS
They have mass surveillance systems, now they want mass identification systems, then they'll want mass ~~accountab~~ suppression systems and then the internet is dead as medium of free expression and we lose the use of the greatest communication technology human beings have ever created, to disagree with our rulers.
Any protest for this by our fellow Europeans?
There are reasons why I strongly support Mullvad. This is one of them.
Have they lost? Don't we get voluntary chat control that is strongly recommended or rather recommanded for high risk chat?
Okay, Europeans, when is someone gonna nut up and take these fascists out!?
- An American
Said the American who can't take Trump out.
People are always trying to off the president. It's literally the most dangerous job in the U.S. That fuck is just really lucky and persists at not rolling a seven
We can't even take out our own fascists.....
And neither can they, apparently.
Stones and glass houses here a little bit mate
Pretty sure it's poking fun at all the Europeans who say the same thing on here to every American.
Ah thanks for another interpretation. I often suck at this in text, so can I ask what makes you think that? I’m not doubting you, just trying to learn.
Is it the interrobang?
With pleasure.
They have been taken out over and over.
But democracy demands we let them try.
They have put down roots in the Brussels bureaucracy. Authoritarian theories are now dominant over democratic ones there. To weed them out, it would be necessary to elect leftist leaders who radically prefer leftist civil servants throughout Europe, which is now farther away from realisation than it has been for decades.
I think we are too far gone... If you can't do it with all the free weapons you have on hand, how do you think it's going to work in Europe? America and the rest of the world is equally screwed. Maybe some 3rd world countries will be fine as they have greater issues than "some" privacy concerns:)
Any "secure system" with a deliberate backdoor (no matter who it's for) is not a secure system.
I always think of that scene from the simpsons where smithers and burns walk through 8 layers of security doors with various identification techniques, and then in the final room there's an old screen door hanging off its hinges to the outside.

Authoritarians will always try to capture more control under their bullshit hierarchy, this isn't a trade of liberties for societal safeties, it's trading privacy for oppression.
Does the EU not have any sort of rule or directive against trying to vote the same thing 12345 times? Heck, IIRC even the US has that one.
If the US has such a rule then it's not effective. Look at how many times the GOP tried to kill the ACA (or at least pass pointless statements denouncing it). It was at least into the 50s. Probably more than that. Instead of trying to pass useful, practical laws, politicians played the same theatrics over and over again.
They just keep renaming it and slightly changing it so it's never exactly the same.
Friggin' Theseus's Chat Control.
The same thing? I thinks so
But nothing stopping you to charge it a tiny bit and try again

I am deeply pissed that they just keep on attempting. This is costing millions, for nothing. The EU should introduce a forced wait period for declined topics, as this here is the abuse of the democratic system.
Agreed - This feels like "we will keep voting on this until we pass it"
Accept chat control?
- Yes
- Ask me again later
Yeah, it feels like that because that's exactly what it is. It's a huge waste of time and money.
