  Is the CDU also willing to put their money where their mouth is? We haven’t had one year without some internet service being breached. So, are those politicians going to pay when our real identities are exposed?

  And when they’re at it, how about some actual recourse when you get banned?

    some actual recourse when you get banned?

    I’m banned from reddit from suggesting that Peter Thiels assets should be liquidated, the man turned to soup.

    The most banal of opinions is now automatically being banned.

      I got 1 bann for saying “the organisation system of the german trains needs to be burned down and rebuild a new on a clean slate” obviousely this is figure of speech. They saw it as call for terrorism.

      And then another ban for saying “Sprich deutsch du hurensohn” which is/was an inside joke in ich-iel and only done there.

      Ah, the Rule 1 violation. Mainly because they just pick the first thing as an excuse to ban.

      I got a violation, a second one I think, a 3 day ban, at which point I abandon accounts and never log in again, 1 year back, for suggesting Musk be aboard one of his spaceships. That’s it. I guess in the context of them blowing up all the time it’s a call for violence, which is how they labelled it. I quit for a couple of months before starting another account, between them right now too, went through like 4 last year, while I took at least 4 months off.

    What is there to breach? You’re already exposing your your real identity when you post under your real name with this new requirement. As long as the methods for verifying your identity aren’t something scammers can exploit there is nothing to expose. If, for example, you could use your photo ID with everything but your pic and name covered, and maybe also birth year for age checks, all it does is remove the ability for people to be cunts with impunity.

    I’d have to give it some more thought, but I’m not against this right away. The Internet has become a vile place. Maybe if you wouldn’t say something in public for everyone to hear, you shouldn’t post it either.

    As if, this is probably all about Israel somehow. One wonders if there is a german equivalent of Epstein.

      At this point, I’m convinced anyone higher than a HOA president is in those files. For Epstein, all those people were his Pokémon.

  As the EU stated: the DSA is sufficient. There’s no reason for a law on top of a law.

    CDU is the faschist party of Germany, while AFD is the Nazi part.

    Because the system for going full Nazi has been built. For actual Nazis it was radio. Today it’s the Internet.

    To be used for control it has to be regulated. It can be regulated so it will be.

    Architecture defines outcome.

  How else are they going to, let me check notes, can’t read my writing here, stamp out anti salmonism? What a joke, a dishonest system wants everyone’s information to let palantir type organizations create social scores and threat asssessments based on half baked and dishonest metrics, with ways for their authorities to make sure you get a bad score even when it’s not warranted by their rules.

  All done in secret, used against you in secret, and promulgated to business, to be used in deciding jobs, loans, what prices you are offered, even what search results you will be shown online. How the police treat you, the courts treat you.

  This is surrendering their citizens to tech, no matter what they tell you, for a cut of the information and a position to direct the all encompassing surveillance past despots couldn’t dream of, they are surrendering all of your information to tech, that will export all of this data no matter what they tell you, no matter how it’s supposed to be secure. Their data banks will get it, and the US government will get it.

  The entire system will be vulnerable, by design I suspect, to hackers, foreign intelligence agencies, oligarchs and their security contractors, criminal groups, religious groups, and any organized group with axes to grind on someone(s.)

  To allow this, by these constitutionally dishonest people helming a government losing control in real time to a far right intent on fixing elections with the help of the US and Russia is just astounding. This kind of arrogant betrayal of the population will all but guarantee the far right wins sooner than later. While the lawmakers passing this think the plutocratic rot will continue with sold out parties continuing indefinitely, as if they aren’t already bleeding support and credibility. Get popular reform.

  Either you give them popular reform, or the far right, in the service of Russia and the US, will give (fake,) popular reform, and the formers will help them fix themselves in power just as they have done and are doing themselves. The republics are in mortal danger, liberal democracy is all but doomed because the plutocracy’s death grips on political parties.
