  • We have a lot of different political and government bodies. Like the “checks and balances” the US had. So when you read “Switzerland wants to…” it could be:

    • A survey of people living in Switzerland
    • A initiative (an official political vote done by the swiss citicens)
    • One big or multiple parties signing an agreement
    • A group of cantons or communal legislative or executive politicians
    • A group of semi-official people (like the conference of all the cantons data protection officers (“Kantonale Datenschützer”, keine Ahnung wie all das Zeug auf Englisch heisst, Hilfe)
    • Our parliament or a comitee in it
    • Our other parliament or a comitee in it
    • The federal court
    • The federal chancelor
    • The federal government
    • And sometimes internetusers even mix some company into the bag, for example Proton.

    I probably forgot a few and misspelt a lot but you get the idea. And all of them are different elected or appointed persons, with their own opinions.







  • I read about trials with AI generated CSAM (altho it isnt really abuse here) which gets used by therapists. But I couldnt find it again with a quick search.

    In Switzerland there was a prevention campaign “Kein Täter werden” (“Don’t become a perpetrator”), which encourages pedophiles to go into therapy before they abuse a child.

    The police actively distinguish between pedophile and “Pädokrimineller” (“pedo-criminal”). I think its a good approach.













  • That is fascinating to me as well:

    Movies > Big filesizes > many public trackers and seeders Music > smaller and easier to store/play > less public trackers, only slsk is really viable Books > even smaller > there are some websites like anna and a lot of small ones But then: Sheet music > even smaller files > almost impossible to pirate

    It is fascinating to me that there isnt one clear spectum along filesize.

    I guess it has to do with the target audience and demand.
