I’m trying to learn more about EU politics, and when something like this won’t die after being beat down several times, in the US it’s almost always some industry lobbying organization.

And a problem we have globally, is that there isn’t an organized counter movement in the opposite direction (that privacy is a human right, that this isn’t a path to security, that states need to be restrained and restricted in their tendencies towards authoritarianism).

Without that countermovement, it’s almost inevitable something like this will pass as the lobbying organization can long outlive the current generation of activists or politicians who see the problems with something like chat control.

Thank you.

But what groups are advocating for this? There is clearly a significant campaign behind this. It doesn’t seem at all grassroots.

It feels like this is just going to keep coming back, and that it’s being pushed by a centrally organized project. If privacy protections aren’t effectively enshrined in law, inevitably this kind of nanny state surveillance will happen.

Who is promoting this and why is it constantly coming back?

Oh shit we can direct embed peer tube links?

just gotta eat it real fast before it gets cold.

but i want more right now…

shits about to get real

Just gonna tell tweakers those things are full of copper

I just wont consider other hardware until its fully supported by something as seamless and smooth as the steamOS experience.

Is 9GB alot? That seems microscopic to me. I suppose it depends on the nature of the data?

Ah yes, let me just type into a search engine a search for all of the things that I don’t know that I don’t know about…

damn, we really shouldnt discuss things that have happened in the past.

Hmm. Thats a neat feature. I love signal.

it seems like if you are interested in private, Lemmy isn’t really a great place?

It strikes me that the lemiverse is basically self doxximg with no ability to get rid of the data. I mean I don’t really know what gwts logged but it seems like it’s never gone via federation.

Well… The voters who vote for Tories…

So we have to pick and chose our battles. I’ve got bigger issues than multi millionaires being allowed to trade stocks.

Ha you wish. There will be a 3 minute unskippable pre-role.

You could just get a doorbell and have a local camera with an ‘on’ event.

I’m trying to get some aspects of the smart home built out but its a lot of doing it myself.

I mean, I don’t think that view is backed up by the previous 400 years of human history. I think they’ve effectively been able to capture the levers of society, the ability to lobby and manage government being a very material one. I think ‘the people’ are about a decade or less of being completely boxed out of having any meaningful influence on government, if not there already.

We’re eventually going to lose this fight. The ability for a group of corporations to lobby is inexhaustible. We can only resist for so long, so many generations. Eventually, they win.

Bro just take my money
