Is the EU not subject to GDPR?
I’m starting to edit idcaboutprivacy more and more often (and that’s not a good thing)
I like the comapirson i heared at Anne Roths(https://systemli.social/@anneroth) talk(German):
You would never say: I don’t need free speech because I have nothing to say. Everyone profits from data privacy and free speech and some people are depending on their life on it.
Dude, I decided to make a personal note with lots of similar links regarding privacy, so that I can provide the source when I discuss these matters with people. But yours in much more thorough - and public. Thanks for saving me a ton of work!
It’s not the EU yet. It’s a group of activists from Denmark. There wasn’t even preliminary voting on it yet.
Doesn’t mean we need to be complacent of course, but so far nothing happened.What activists? I need their names, for personal research reasons.
I don’t know who reintroduced it, but here the original one https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=COM%3A2022%3A209%3AFIN&qid=1652451192472
Maybe it’s time to restart some some old Greek traditions and propose a law that anyone proposing chat control - from here on out - gets banished for life from entering European soil ever again.
They were smart, those oiled fish-eating goatfuckers. So maybe yes, that - and also sortition and ostracism.
Thank god my OS doesn’t care about EU regulation
And what do you think that means the moment your OS connects to, oh I don’t know, the rest of the fucking planet?
The fuck is happening over there? Was there lead in the water?
Probably
Encryption. Is easy.
STASI enters the chat.
Hey at least Stasi only spied on people they suspected.
Their kind never leaves the chat, it’s a professional habit
Wtf. Is Signal going to be affected? I just recently installed Signal on my phone.
Welcome to earth, Everybody Sucks Here.
time to make my own shitty ass software to deal with this stuff
should check existing options first:
- Briar
- Simplex
- Tox
- Matrix and elements as frontend
- xmpp
They won’t.
If you’re a citizen of an EU country, you should contact your politicians to tell them not to, maybe they won’t.
It only has to pass once, and they keep trying.
Contacting politicians directly is good, but joining orgs like the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Privacy International multiplies your impact since they have lawyers and can actualy challenge these laws in court.
Some keep trying. That’s how democracy and politics works in general.
Nah, a logical OR in their favor is not how democracy should work.
With SKG going as well as it is, wouldn’t an ECI on chat control be in order?
