What we need are laws to prevent this kind of court trolling because courts all over europe are wasting time and money on these repeated proposals. Politicians should be held accountable for wasting everyone’s time.
In the US somebody recently found a way to account powerful people.
Yay murder.
Yes, murder. That’s what his company did to many families.
But it didn’t work, ended up just with bruises.
I thought a lot about fair government and such when I was 16-17.
And it came down to any such action being individual, thus having an initiator, who is the responsible person, or a group of such.
And such laws, when not passing through courts, should require a huge payment (should be tied to total GDP, I think), equally split among members of that group (so a group does not become an entity).
No person from among them can initiate anything such until having paid the previous.
It seems logical, I mean. If something IRL is being overloaded, it should just be a paid service. Same here.
Should be expensive enough so to not be an acceptable cost of doing business for a corrupt politician.
Also the cost should depend on which tier of laws this is - suppose regulation of milk products is lower tier than total fscking surveillance.
Also the court should be able to determine whether a rejected initiative is a repetition, in which case the cost will be, say, order x 12 x “last year’s GDP” x coefficient x tier.
It’s ridiculous that lawmaking is free, with the amount of value it redistributes.
Literally on the heels of the revelation that China is spying on all chats and phone calls, these clowns still think back doors are safe in any way.
I swear, humanity is simply failing the IQ test here.
Google “TSA-Approved Locks”
This is the same stupid thing, but digital.
If y’all wanna know why is this stupid
Take a look at the so-called “TSA-Approved Locks”
The locks that lets TSA have a “special key” to unlock your bags to search then without cutting it open.
The same “special key” is available to buy on amazon.
🤣
It’s even worse than no locks, since someone could plant drugs in your bag using the “special key”, and since there’s no evidence of tampering, and the bag is also locked, the blame falls on you.
For anyone else who’s curious about the history I actually went and looked this up. Photos of the keys were accidentally leaked on the Travel Sentry website. This made it very easy to copy. The website says “Sensitive Information – do not post, copy or disseminate”. Clearly someone elected to do the opposite.
Oh no you don’t understand, with this legislation bad actors and foreign intelligence would not be allowed to use these back doors. So they can’t do it because it’s illegal. That’s why it’s 100% safe. I mean don’t you trust the it competence of 60+ year old law makers?
OK I will stop now
Do I seriously need to put always on cameras in my luggage?
I mean, thats why you don’t use TSA locks. Use a normal lock, and when it gets broken, now you have plausible deniability.
I believe DeviantOllam recommends putting a gun in your bag (from memory a starter gun counts as a gun to TSA but doesn’t have the whole licence restrictions of an actual firearm). Because you have a gun you are allowed to lock it with an actual padlock and the TSA can’t just go through your stuff. If you put a padlock on otherwise they’ll just cut it off and you’re back to square one.
I just use a zip tie. It keeps the bag shut and it’s obvious if they open it. Of course they could potentially replace it with an identical zip tie. You can get security seals that are serial numbered if you want to protect against that.
Here we go again Good old Child abuse.

How your representatives in EU parliament voted: https://mepwatch.eu/9/vote.html?v=134463&country=fr|de
Looks like it’s mostly german representatives that block it. They remember the stasi.
It was the one good thing the german liberal party FDP was good for, but they aimed to destroy the coalition from the inside (literally! they made plans and discussion meetings when the best time to destroy it would be). And now they are out and we have the SPD and the Greens left. So one party who really has a hard on for surveillance and the other one who is undecided.
In all seriousness, the EU has become beyond frustrating in so many ways… Kudos for fighting against corporate monoliths, but… c’moon!
I don’t think you get the EU. It’s a democracy and everyone can submit proposals.
This is a proposal from pro-Russian Orban from Hungary, and not EU’s opinion.
The EU is cosplaying a democracy.
*USA
It’s a democracy where the European Commission (which is actually the main governing body of the EU and not EP) is comprised of people put there by bureaucracies.
I don’t think you get the EU. It’s a failed attempt at powerful democratic version of USSR, that has been retconned into a successful confederacy, only it’s not that too.
Is this a Brexit benefit?
Not when the UK is already a member of Five Eyes.
Isn’t that a burger restaurant?
Not quite
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
An Anglosphere intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries are party to the multilateral UK-USA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence.
To answer seriously: unfortunately, the UK is one step ahead with the Online Safety Act. They’ve already given Ofcom the power to enforce client-side scanning. Ofcom themselves are deciding whether they want to use this power yet and this should happen sometime next year.
I wonder how in the world Ofcom could enforce that?
I think (and hope!) it would likely only get applied to the biggest services, and would be enforced by removal from the app stores.
Then, the logical next step for the government when this doesn’t work would be to allow this requirement at the OS level.
That would only really work on mobile, though - and that’s assuming the OS isn’t custom.
You shouldn’t be using whatsapp anyway.
First they came for whatsapp. I didn’t say anything because I don’t use whattsapp.
It would concern all messaging apps, which is beyond stupid. Lol, even nato uses the matrix protocol.
And instead use what? Signal? And then chat with the zero other people who use it?
Telling europeans to not use whatsapp is like telling people not to use the power grid. It’s more popular here than iMessages are in the US.
I’m European using signal, I frequent in two countries very often (not neighbouring countries) and for the past two years I’ve noticed more and more people using signal.
Ditched whatsapp half a year ago and haven’t had problems. Some friends use both signal and whatsapp.
Not saying many in whole Europe use signal but it certainly is not only popular in US.
Edit: but not saying using signal will change anything if this bill passes. No matter what popular app we use we are going to have no privacy at all if this thing passes…
Why do you assume I’m American? I am, but you would have no way of knowing that. I could be Croatian for all you know.
I dont know a single euroepean that is using WhatsApp, and im european… i mostly encounter asian people that use it.
