Thanks to nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 and everyone who spoke up about the EU attempt at breaking end to end encryption for chat with pre-publishing AI reporting bots. The proposal is dead! Activism and pressure can work.

👏 that’s great

Dead for now. They will try it again

"The proposal will return to the drawing board, as the European Commission[1] and the European Parliament continue to deliberate on the best way forward.

The discussions will resume after the summer, once the new Parliament is seated and Hungary assumes the Council presidency from Belgium in July. Hungary has already committed to developing a comprehensive legislative framework to prevent and combat online child sexual abuse and revising the directive against the sexual exploitation of children."

Unfortunately, I think so too

Ugh. Hungary is probably even worse.

How could Hungary make it even worse?

Family-friendly authoritariasm means fewer individual rights. For the sake of the children.

Could be.

And of course all in the name of protection🤮

Excellent 👏🏼

I think the comments from Signal’s CEO were also very good

Running Win? Defender or any other virus scanner scans every fucking file.

That was just a trial balloon to see how far you can go. A slightly softened version is introduced at a favorable moment and nobody notices because everyone thinks they have won.

Also, almost no one (outside of Bitcoiners and crypto anarchists) seem to care about how the freedom to transact diminishes by the day, which undermine all our freedoms.

Yep, most will say "I don't have anything to hide"

Tell them to give their passwords to you if they have nothing to hide

I wonder what they’ll rebrand it as for next time? At least it’s been kicked down the road a bit. Big up Meredith Whittaker and the others who’ve worked so hard pushing back on this.

How do we stop incrementalism is the question.

They will regroup and rebrand.

These people are evil.

One of the main reasons for failure was that MPs couldn’t agree on exemptions for politicians and other servants like military, intelligence and so on. They know exactly what it means, they don’t want it to be applied to theirselves.

This is just a running gag. For more on that running gag search Neuordnung or new order by nazi in 1941, Things are just simple like that XD

they will try again and i fear they will get away with it in the end
