How about no encryption for civil servants?

Congratulations.

How does/can Australia stop the Under 16 Social Media ban? I suspect that this is the first step of many to undermine Australians.

Cool, glad for y’all.

Hey, now that you’ve taken care of that, we’re having a little fascism problem here in America. We were wondering if you could, ya’know, return that little favor we did for ya in the 1940s?

Muricans’ ability to make any and every thing about themselves amazes me

We’re dealing with a little WW2 style problem ourselves with Russia eating away at Ukraine. Would love to come and help you all, but before we do anything to a country that prides itself in having the biggest stick we gotta clean up our back yard first.

Wait, how the fuck are only Central Europe, Finland and Estonia in support of encryption. What the actual fuck people?

If you look at the swedish parties only one is in support, but they are the biggest :/

I can only talk about France as that one is super obvious to me: They been fighting (peaceful) protests organizers. Like hacking their phones and getting all their data from all the possible platforms, in the hopes of shutting them down using the slightest thing that can get them into trouble.

See you in two years when they attempt again

They’ll probably try to sneak it into some other law, hoping no one will notice until it’s too late.

Remember if US FBI (who is commonly anti-encryption) is suddenly afraid of Chinese state spies, Haxxorz in China and Trump sectarian vigilantes then maybe EU should be as well.

Why it has UK’s map next to EU?

Patric Breyer usually posts in German. The UK flag in the tweet is just to indicate the language of the tweet.

Let’s not let our guard down. They might make superficial changes, but they will keep pushing this dangerous and invasive nonsense, and they only have to win once.

Yarrr! Pirates really deliver.

Also, why Sweeden supports it?

Hey, well the reason is that both the right and left parties both want this to pass. They say its to “protect the children” even if this law would violate the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Also they want to use the crime rate to justify this law of mass surveillance.

If you want to know more about us Swedish Pirates you can visit our website there is a link to the English version! https://piratpartiet.se/en/

I was also very surprised to see Sweden back this. The Swedes have started changing dramatically since Russian invasion of Ucrain. Neutral for decades now in NATO.

not sure about now but the original swede handling the issue in EU was openly corrupt. which is only a crime if you’re a social democrat or further left.

Well, they’re going on my big list of “throw money at orgs to make this hellhole a bit less shite” I’ll check in January when I know my earnings for 2024:

You would think we could get the other two baltic countries and france to oppose it…

French support is wild to me. Baltic’s support is probably due to arrangements with Putin.

Is it the case where they postponed the vote again because they anticipated it being turned down and needing to wait ages before being allowed to vote again?

If so, perhaps Poland could host the next vote, deliberately not postponing when it seems it’s not going to pass. Maybe even start trolling and remove concessions that would’ve pleased other countries, forcing even more anti-votes and removing some risk of it passing unexpectedly (I don’t know if that would be viable to actually implement though).

We need it to properly fail big time if we don’t want to fear for our privacy every couple months

See you guys next year.

If something is part of the world plan, it’s not going away.

Maybe it’s OK. The big tech sites are anyway becoming mostly ads and Ai content, so it will probably become like cable TV before people just quit it.

It’s OK, they’ll just keep trying.

As the IRA said to Margaret Thatcher, they only have to succeed once.
