And yet most politicians here still use it. Any that's still using it I consider a child rapist and fascist/nazi enabler. Sadly that leaves very few left to vote for.

I'm sure they expressed this on X.

How about just banning it for the good of humanity?

i wish this was worldwide

And there is our main argument against ChatControl.

ChatControl is pushed with the excuse of CSAM. If that was a true concern of the proponents, we would have a push towards stronger and faster enforcement of the DMA and in particular of X. Instead, nothing.

I see. I have some doubts about the motivation of these people, too. But regulators are going after X.

Consider that the chatcontrol equivalent would be going after services that don't spy enough on their users.

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

ChatControl would be going after all messages of all users by default. And CSAM is the excuse.

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

What I'm getting at is that these laws demand that companies should do the spying. Surveillance is expensive, so foisting on these foreign companies is politically the easiest solution.

I want them banned even if they aren't. Twitter is a shithole and has only made things worse since Elon has taken over. If people aren't gonna move off it because it's a Nazi shithole then force them to move off.

People know you can just not use it, right?

Please put an X on X!

I wonder how the survey has been done?

Because if it has been done by phone, "do you want x to be banned if it continues to break the law?", then it's biased because X is historically used as a placeholder and only a ketamine addict could think that is a good idea to destroy a brand for that

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe some people assumed it was about the 'x' math problems ask you to find?

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

So more than half said it should continue to be allowed if it kept breaking the law? That sounds so very made up. Plus how do you survey "Europe" exactly?
