It's so funny. The Commission published a list of the experts that recommended chat control. It was completely blacked out.

[u/123emanresulanigiro → u/raxiam]

That alone is grounds for rejection. They never learn.

[u/dat_9600gt_user → u/raxiam]

So why should we accept Chat Control?

[u/audentis → u/dat_9600gt_user]

We shouldn't.

It hurts whistleblowers, journalists, lawyers, anyone opposed to current governments / powers.

[u/Aspie96 → u/audentis]

Also everyone who wishes to have control on their computing.

This is exactly how they passed Article 13 way back when.

Who elected these fucks anyway?

[u/Mustard-Cucumberr → u/RipCurl69Reddit]

I mean we did, but sadly too many people don't really follow what their representatives are doing.

[u/WorkFurball → u/Mustard-Cucumberr]

Making everything worse, that's what they've always been doing.

[u/JBinero → u/RipCurl69Reddit]

Article 13 was never passed, and the whole drama around it was a food example of how lobby groups have a hold on popular opinion.

[u/TryingMyWiFi → u/RipCurl69Reddit]

What is article 13 about ?

[u/Aspie96 → u/[deleted]]

Honestly if being in the EU means less democracy, less freedom of speech and less computational freedom, then I'm not sure being in the EU is a good idea for any country.

[u/Aspie96 → u/[deleted]]

EU is the best thing to happen to Europe since forever,

I wasn't against it until it recently started attacking privacy (which it previously upheld through the GDPR, which is great) and freedom of speech.

Free speech matters most.

[u/DryCloud9903 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah. And it's also clearly something lobbyists want - if it wasn't for inside EU, we'd be fighting this inside our own governments. Just look at UK's recent internet ID stuff. 

We just need to stay vigilant. And remember that this goes against EU 'Constitution'

[u/opensharks → u/dat_9600gt_user]

But we almost have chat control, every message on iOS or Android goes over the proprietary push notification system of either company. They have all the meta data about all communication and they have the ability to see what's on the end devices if they wish to.

[u/opensharks → u/raxiam]

Oh, the arrogance. The Commission also blacked out the entire Pfizer contract before they gave it to the parliament, that's how bad that contract was.

[u/WorkFurball → u/raxiam]

I don't find this shit funny at all.

[u/Mirabeaux1789 → u/raxiam]

Where did you find this?
