I just watched the EU parliament plenary and they just voted in favor of Chat Control. I can't understand what's going on in their head. The last speaker before the vote had very good points.

I think we should now verify who voted in favor and have all their communications be public from now on.

what is in our politicians head?

💶

Is this the old Chat Control 1.0 or the new Chat Control 2.0?

Capitalism

Every payment sent, every penny received, every communication, every deal that they try to strike should all be publicised as they seem to forget which direction the transparency should be.

If I'm not mistaken, politicians and military are exempted because of reasons. They didn't forget, they reversed it. 🤷

That's my point. They are the ones who should be transparent. The reason they are pushing this, the reason SKG was beaten etc.. They need reminding.

It won't be long before they are at our doors, cap in hand begging for us to tick their name on a ballot paper as we should believe that they are the best person for the job.

Also put up a camera ANYWHERE they go. No disabling. Let them face their own consequences.

Private texts? Donations? Stocks? Ok, all of that is confiscated and published.

the lust for power

I think its pretty simple; with climate change and pollution comes environmental collapse and starvation. Clean water, food and other ressources will become even harder to obtain. Desperate people will be more likely to turn to exremism and civil unrest will increase. Our politicians know this and are trying to get into a position where they can stay in power and not be eaten. Obviously with hindsight it would probably have been better for everyone involved if we had taken the necessary steps to protect our climate and ecosystems a few centuries ago, but that doesnt get you elected and doesnt matter to you if you are going to rule just for the next 5 years or so.

Oh and the funniest thing about this is that the real bad actors can just circumvent this by adding a second layer or encryption to their messages that the authorities cannot access.

Everyone should archive a local copy of the GPG source.

So this actually happened? Fuck me, thats bad news. I only just found out it was happening and it's already done

Deciding on the Procedure means Deciding on the Substance

If the urgency is approved on Tuesday, the decisive vote on the substance is scheduled to take place as early as Thursday – the final sitting day before the summer recess. Experience shows that significantly fewer MEPs are present on this day. However, since 361 votes are required for amendments or a rejection, the reinstatement of the expired “Chat Control 1.0” regulation would become virtually inevitable.

Experience shows that significantly fewer MEPs are present on this day.

And why the fuck are we accepting that in the first place? Get your asses to work!

Fuck, how do I do a multiline spoiler? 😂 ::: spoiler ugh I amanaged somehow. :::
