Strange with how hostile the US has been lately. Is this a gift to the facists?

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 3 points 18 minutes ago

Why? What could the EU gain by giving personal data of its citizens to a country that illegally eavesdrops on them?

[–] Sonicdemon86@lemmy.world 14 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Come on French, where's the riots in the streets? Do you really want the USA deciding which memes will get you put into the memes camps?

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

One calls it a "meme camp", others call it a "concentration camp". Choose wisely!

Europeans who recently have been criticizing US citizens for how they voted: "Et tu de baddie?"

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 56 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

... Why?!?

Why would you do such a ridiculously stupid thing?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 2 points 33 minutes ago (1 children)

Because even EU politicians are afraid of the people

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 minutes ago

If they were they wouldn't be doing this, this sounds like it will anger many EU citizens

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 hours ago

Because their politicians are playing their people, it's the same across the west, the oligarchy controls all main parties, and the far right sponsored by malign foreign influence, ahem, is the only one running as reform, dooming us all to them winning eventually, and putting a fix in.

But that's another story. They are surrendering us to tech, and to fascism, because they aren't on our side. We are collectively too stupid to realize it. Because they think they will benefit, and we have nothing but nihilists in charge.

The Rothschilds are largely French. The EU is also entagled in the surveillance state the Epstein class is building

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Bro, are not the rothschilds not the main drivers at this point in time? Why would you mention them in particular? Are they even in the Epstein files that we know about? I imagine they aren't because they are likely tight with Israel and Epstein was an Israeli honeypot op.

Pieces of shit I don't doubt, but are they the driving force here? Like did you just pick up an early 20th century history book and run with that?

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yes, they're in there a lot. Like a lot a lot. Like Epstein introduced himself as their money manager. One of those few emails that can only really be interpreted as hunting humans for sport was to or from a Rothschild I forget which. Might have been a spouse and it was both sides.

You've some reading to do. Did you see the Ghislaine Maxwell invite to be on the 9/11 shadow commission? Yes, Seriously.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

I will check it out thanks, that great game thing rings a bell actually I forgot about their mention in that.

[–] webkitten@piefed.social 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

This is why my android sticks with PINs or Patterns. Never biometrics.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 minutes ago

This is also why you give your biometrics to governments, they already have it

Hey Euros! Don’t visit America or you will get sent to ICE gulag if you made an off hand internet comment about Trump 8 years ago describing that his dick is small.

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

And what happens if you only mentioned its mushroom shape, without mentioning his small hands?

Asking for a friend btw!!

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 6 hours ago

Just vassal states things.

Act tough on press, but gargle US balls behind doors.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Trumpers will think it is great because they think nothing he does applies to them.

How is this not a violation of GDPR?! "Homeland Security" doesn't need the data, this is thousands of people for under 5 possible threats at most... this is fucking stupid! The game of bribery and backdoor deals of monetizing data keeps spreading, huh?

[–] it_depends_man@lemmy.world 38 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Government is excluded from meeting GDPR requirements. ☺️

[–] Tim_Bisley@piefed.social 18 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Well that's a real kick in the nuts.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Surveillance capitalism will continue the fascist takeover until the whole planet is a totalitarian company town and we are all slaves to big brother; paying a daily subscription to breathe.

I'm not even joking.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

paying a daily subscription to breathe.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I mean we were saying this in the early 90s too but. Yeah.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Yes I called it too.

[–] a4ng3l@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Uh? It’s a bit less generic than that… some activities of governments are excluded from the scope but not all data processing from government agencies are.

For example this particular personal data processing likely fits under the prevention of criminal offences and threats to public security and is highly unfortunate but let’s keep shit factual.

The only thing that makes the EU bureaucracy seem like it's functional are competing national interests. When all nations are being targeted by foreign automated propaganda through their social networks to promote shifts in their governments to allow this sort of bull, it doesn't even matter that the US is directly issuing threats against the EU, only just what corrupt long time career politicians can get out of it.

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 73 points 8 hours ago

What the fuck

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 31 points 7 hours ago

What in the actual fuck?!

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 48 points 8 hours ago

Ugh... Time and time again we are shown that US corporate shareholder needs dictate massive invasion of privacy and global over reach. Well this won't stand in Europe! Let's see what the EU says about this... Oh. Oh wait 😲.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 20 points 8 hours ago

which they probably already have. Look at that list, and that's only France ☞ https://bonjourlafuite.eu.org/

Fuck! God!! No!!! Please!!!! 😡
