Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU.
web.archive.orgUnder the slogan ‘Think of the children’, the European Commission tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens. When the scandal was revealed, it turned out that American tech companies and security services had been involved in the bill, generally known as ‘Chat Control’ – and that the whole thing had been directed by completely different interests. Now comes the next attempt. New battering rams have been brought out with the ‘Going Dark’ initiative. But the ambition is the same: to install state spyware on every European cell phone and computers.

The user who posted this constantly posts these kinds of articles. I just though it should be brought up.
aww muffin, you don’t like it when people hold a mirror to your society
Its not that these articles are irrelevant. They are definitely talking about real privacy issues. The problem is when people try to say that Russia or China are some how these great empires that are complete free of issues.
I’m not sure if you realized or not but Russia and China are much less private and have state dictated history. You can’t even read the public Wikipedia articles as they give you access to real information instead of the state narrative. For instance, back in WWII the US ran interment camps to imprison Asian Americans. It was wrong and terrible in many ways (I used to know a survivor) but the difference is it isn’t illegal to talk about or share information and discuss historically or current events.
Maybe its just me but I don’t like when people comment saying how China or Russia can do no wrong.
You’re literally the one who sealioned into this thread to bleat about Russia and China, sucking up air from any meaningful discussion. Try engaging with the content of the article instead of doing your whatabouting. Also not sure who said that Russia or China can do no wrong. Seems like a weird straw man you came up with in lieu of having any actual point to make.
Yeah maybe your right. At the end of the day I just don’t like people underplaying human rights abuses.
I’ll leave my comments up as I don’t see a reason to delete them. However, I’ll just ignore this thread.
WHAT human rights abuses? Is there a source that doesn’t link back to the CIA or state department?
And he will continue to do so. Maybe give “⊘ Block user” a try.
Yeah, you got a point. I just thought I’d bring it up before blocking.
Thanks for the reminder.
