They’re such bullies. It also shows how awful democracy can be. They just change the legalese around until it goes trough. It has already been voted against, yet they want the control and do whatever they can to get it.
Can’t believe that nobody told them their dick pics will get flagged as false positives.
Yeah it is the 3th time in the past year I think some variation of this shit is proposed… Fuck them.
This isn’t democracy. It is capitalist dictatorships terrorising the working class.
EU is no democracy.
And it somewhat works here (Switzerland) since the Volksentscheid is holy and pulling that stunt gets a lot of people really upset about not honoring that choice. But yeah democracies need rules against repeated attempts, since this is an exploit violating the idea of a democracy.
What about the new internet surveillance law being pushed that Proton is moving it’s infrastructure out of Switzerland to avoid? Is there any pushback to that?
The EU is a democracy.
While it’s not perfect (no system is), each of the bodies that make up the EU legislature are democratic:
Not every body is directly voted on, but each body comes forth from a democratic election
It’s not the EU that will be scanning. Given that the scans will largely be aided by “AI”, private corporations will have access to all communications.
Sorry for spamming the tool but: fightchatcontrol.eu
It shows you your representatives and generates a email for you. Very handy.
I’ve already reached out to several in my country, on the maybe list. Annoying to see this crop up again.
It will pass eventually. Seeing the way EU countries are going, the right to far right will get voted in, and they will end up voting for these sort of bullshit measures they can Orwellianly exploit.
Just to note - from Wikipedia: “On 21 June 2024, it was reported that voting on the legislation had been temporarily withdrawn by the EU Council, in a move that is believed to be the result of pushback by critics of the proposal including software vendors.”
I sent my emails and will try to call them. Have you?
Somewhat irrelevant: omg, this is peak “corporate art sucks.” It’s like corporate art combined with fascist content, more than usual.
