I think you should never take these things lightly.

It's better to be too cautious than not cautious enough, especially since there are powerful interest groups that want mass surveillance.

The people don't want that, of course, but many politicians do, as evidenced by the fact that Palantir is being introduced in Germany, of all places, and completely illegally. This must be prevented, and the population has a role to play in this—for example, with petitions like this one, which already has more than 400,000 signatures: Trump software Palantir: Stop surveillance plans

There's no media about the EU in USA. Nobody gives a crap. The "news" is all just fascist propaganda about how genocide is good and windmills cause tornados.

A lot. A. Lot.

All that trouble to clown people… uses “alot”.

Kills me 🙃😘

Thank goodness for no Chat Control. Shit’s straight-up Bozo Time.

They’re bound to try again in a few months.

The EU officials are not elected by the people. Some of them are absolute idiots. The people pushing for this will continue making adjustments to Chat Control until one of the countries changes sides. The media is absolutely right.

What politicians want and what the public wants are often totally different things. People vote on a few hot-button issues like immigration, and for stuff that gets less attention, politicians do what they want. So calling attention to chat control likely made a significant difference.

just like y2k was just a media hoax, since it didnt happen?

Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.

Uuuuh... This place is a breeding ground of heavily biased propaganda. Just look at your feed, it's all news articles reinforcing a side of things. It's got its fair share of users that don't look at things from a broad perspective and most get mad when they perceive their opinion is being challenged, even when it's not. That's why it's riddled with posts that aren't for interest; they're rooted in agenda that is to either push narrative or reinforce ego.

And if your filter lists aren't full of users, communities, and instances, it's very plausible your mind my be one that's easily duped, because the shits got to be one of the most obvious places on the internet to spot it. Part of the Lemmy experience is maintaining and customising the feed.

As a swede, I’m so embarrassed that my country supports this shit.

Can't someone pick the shitty parts of this proposal and push it to a vote, so it can be struck down already?

Oh no lemmy is a reactionary craphole that despises nuanced discussion? Well atleast it's a place to call people facists.

What a retarded blog post.
