Thread 717511748

First Collective Shout, then the p*rn bans, and now this.
All they have to do is get a handful of representatives to sign a few papers every few years and eventually it will get through.
On the other hand, we have to organize large-scale protests and riots that may or may not change something.

The asymmetry is exhausting.

I am getting tired. They're winning through attrition.

Stop voting for leftoids and this wouldn't happen

>>717511748 (OP)
lol holy shit

how did the eu go from based for keeping corporations down to being a dystopian hell hole in a fucking years time? they must really be afraid of the eu rising up against their unfettered immigration(that only corporations benefit from because of cheap labor)

>>717511748 (OP)
Great, this will incentivize people to start interacting in person again. Or for the first time.

>>717511890
Yes it would, dumb shit. They're all the same.

>>717511890
it's coming from both sides under the "protect the children" guise. Also lobbied by an american company called Thorn which has ties to Palantir.

It doesn't matter which side you vote for.

Messages already aren't private, they're just viewed by a corporation. Unless this shit bans encrypted messages like Whatsapp or Signal it'll be fine.

I'm surprised the internet remained as free as it was for so long. We were due for government crackdown any day, especially now that tensions are so high.

They were always a dystopian hellhole, just hiding it better. Now they're trying to do "based" shit to distract you from the fact that they're a dystopian hellhole.

>mfw i can send the government pictures of my nuts and butthole and they have to look at it
based

>>717512205
That’s literally what they want. Hell UK is going a step further and wants to ban the use of IRC and Usenet so you have no alternative

>>717511890
the left is literally the one advocating against this

>suddenly, Lefties care about free speech and privacy

You faggots get what you deserve. Now we all suffer because you couldn't fucking think of the consequences of your childish actions.

>>717512205
the timing is so dumb, because they're basically closing down the free internet as soon as the left became ridiculously anti "zionist" and even if that's just a coincidence, i 100% expect that to be the angle that both antisemites on the left and right run with.

In Germany, it's overwhelming the conservative parties that advocate for mass-surveillance.

Yurop is all left extremists. Its the ruling governmwnts doing this, they're all left wing.

All digital communication is already compromised.

Germany's ruling government is center-right and literally has "christian" in its name lol

While i don't advocate for this, its really petty. Considering teens will always find a way to use conversations in a private way (like snapchat delete after opening a pic) to communicate....or harass people online. Life always finds a way.

if they actually did they wouldnt want to know more now would they you absolute mongoloids

There is no left or right. They are all in favor of totalitarianism.

Apparently China had the right idea with their great firewall. We need a firewall on top of the border walls in the US.

>>717512620
It doesn't matter that savvy people will get away with it. No law exists to prevent 100% of crime, the vast majority of people will still be negatively affected because they lack the knowledge.
If enough people learned how to bypass it, that method of bypassing it would be struck down next, anyway.

>>717512443
Same here.
But, not videogames.

I WANT A PAYMENT PROCESSOR THAT CAN RIVAL VISA AND MC

I don't care whatb they call themselves. They're all for censoring free speech, mass immigration and anti gun ownership. They're leftists.

So predictable.

Just ban the internet already

>>717511890
This isn't about left or right anymore. Both are in on it. Corps are pushing this from all sides, since it's a big win for them. The entire UK bill was funded, created and politicians got bought to push it through. People have already started following the money and it all came back to the funds (with no oversight) tied to big tech. No western country is safe from this.
Current governments in power now help it push through because it also helps their agenda, especially in the EU. They can just label anyone that says bad thing about migration as a domestic terrorist at this point. It's all about mass surveillance and controlling the flow of information. For corps it's about expanding ad revenue even more (with ID verification they can literally start throwing "you've been pre approved for x credit card or buy now pay later" schemes.
ID verification also means smaller, niche sites won't be able to keep going. Only corpo backed sites can pay for the infrastructure while many places on the internet will die off, even more than it has up to today. Total corpo sanitization and control.

>>717512240
Has the last few weeks shown you nothing? It starts with "porn is bad" and "think of the children" but it will end with a camera in your living room.

>>717512572
Sure, but if you played your cards right you can be invisible or at least anonymous. With these laws cropping up everywhere and ID verification it will become increasingly different.

>>717512907
Honestly society was better before mass adoption of the internet. It mever should have left hard wired connections and desktops. Smartphones have been disastrous for the human race.

>>717512892
who the fuck voted for the EU you dumb dickhead

At times like this I'm glad I live in New England.
Property is a bit expensive for my liking, but it's a nice balance between the compassionate leftism of the EU where I can get state-subsidized healthcare without going into immense medical debt for an ambulance ride, the rugged individualist right-wing where I can go get a cheap gun and defend my property, and the libertarian "fuck you, don't tell me what to do" aspect where I can go to Barnes & Noble and buy loli smut manga right off the shelves.
This authoritarian shit is starting to get retarded.

>>717512892
The EU commission is not voted for by the people. It's an undemocratic system.

>>717511748 (OP)
For fuck's sake. They just keep coming at us with this shit. FUCK OFF. When can we just enshrine it in EU law that we have a basic right to privacy so all this ID and chat control shit can go away forever? It's exhausting. Fuck them.

>>717512892
Are you retarded or just like speaking without thinking?

>>717512686
My guess is within the next 20-30 years every major 1st world country will implement some kind of firewall for their country to "protect the children".

>>717512892
It's not populists, it's conservatives.
In Europe, conservative parties don't stand for freedom. That's the American political dichotomy.
Conservative parties want to ban as many things as possible.
That's all they're known for.

>This isn't about left or right anymore.
retard, left/right dichotomy was fake from the start, so that retards can keep voting for "other" side despite there is no other side, ever

>>717513120
I think it'll be because "Russians(or insert some other country here) bots are flooding social media, we need to do something!!" and that something will be digital ID + blocking traffic from other countries so that narratives don't go questioned. Things have gotten too free, it's basically impossible to set a narrative now without major pushback(see: Covid, Epstein, etc).

AI will give intelligence agencies the power to make the most convincing narratives ever, they don't want some Vietnamese guy living in his parents basement to be able to analyze the video and find out it's fake. If John Smith does it instead, they can just arrest him until no one is left to contest their claims.

And euros wonder why Americans have so many guns. It's so we can rebel when we need to over this type of shit.

>>717513953
you wont do shit

>>717513985
We literally had a light insurrection like 5 years ago for basically nothing. yes, people WILL rebel if shit gets too bad

Ladies, stop panicking.
It's the usual shit here's a similar article from techradar:
https://www.techradar.com/computing/cyber-security/the-eu-could-be-scanning-your-chats-by-october-2025-heres-everything-we-know
To sum it up new year, same rights grabbing, and always it gets shut down and another year rolls around.
Here's an piece from 2023 showing how they really want to end encryption:
https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2023/06/eu-member-states-still-cannot-agree-about-end-end-encryption/
This comes up constantly. Governments HATE encryption with a passion because it means their law enforcement has to actually try to get rid of their political enemies. The want complete control but still (well at least the ones who actually try) have to pretend they care about "human rights".
You can scapegoat it by saying it's someone like Yeev.ah john.ahnayshon's fault, and she is loud and aggressive about it but she's also really stupid which is an advantage of having her around.

So for now EU and someparts of Switzerland are the go to places for privacy. Everywhere else is different shades of dystopia.

New Hampshire at this point is basically a red state but richer and more educated, mostly seems to be full of hillbilly druggies and Masshole Republicans who couldn't stand living in the Boston metro area around all the yuppies and commies.
I live up in the mountains in western MA, where it's mostly hillbillies, yuppie college graduates, old-stock retirees, people escaping the cities because they suck, and druggies.

>establishment party mask off moment

It was always freedom-oriented patriots against power-consolidating internationalists.


The latter being conservatives, social democrats/labor parties, and their various shock troopers (who are mostly leftist retards, thinking that power consolidation is actually "le good?!?" - there are a couple boomer right wingers as well (the israel lover kind), but comparatively few)

The EU system was made to make participation of administrative outsiders as difficult as possible ("ehrm... no goy you need AT LEAST a MILLION signatures for us to even look at your suggestion") and give as much agency to the insiders as possible ("Here are a couple directives, decided by yours truly, an unelected commission").

Genuinely everyone hates it, left and right, no one votes for it but politicians keep creeping it in literally every chance they get.
Simply because they're crooked for powerlust.

Fidel Castro survived 638 assassination attempts, some of them funded and directed by the most powerful governments in the world.

Congress was cowering from unarmed men and grandmothers going into the capital. Let that be a reminder for them to not get too uppity. Meanwhile, every other western nation bans or severely restricts guns, and you now can’t criticize the government without going to jail.

The name is misleading.

This law gives the EU the right to force Microsoft and any other company to put actual trojans into their software and also force them to hijack updating processes. So they might say "hey this dude might be sus" and the police can press a button and specifically you will receive an instant update from Windows that will install itself, which contains a trojan. They can already do this with routers, look up the TR-069 protocol.
