⚑️πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί NEW - EU Chat Control Just a few moments ago, the European Parliament approved the urgent procedure for the Chat Control extension (331 in favour, 304 against). On Thursday, MEPs will vote on whether to allow online platforms to scan private messages. image

This is why I use Tor and I would use Tor with a bridge but since I'm not in EU I don't have to worry about it but anyway if anyone is is EU use Tor and do not use a VPN if you are worried about EU censoring everything if not then just don't forget you can
The Tor Project does not recommend using a VPN because if you use a VPN then now you are trusting the creator of that VPN and Tor bridges were made to do a VPNs job without destroying you anonymity so please do not use a VPN and a VPN will just slow Tor way more then it regularly be and as should be said if I was part of the government I could just check it and see that your using Tor and if your in a state like China or South Korea then that really would not be good
How I know is because people who used a VPN to hide that they were using Tor in China or any countries like China or north Korea could go to jail because of laws on those controlling countries but the good thing is that I'm not in any country like that but just to let you know if your in a country like China or north Korea just don't use a VPN to hide that your using Tor because Tor already has bridges that are made to already cover that you are using Tor
I don't see what the problem is. I completely misunderstood ChatControl. This is a fight to stop companies from doing something that they were already doing - I presume stipulated in their T&Cs as well? If it is in the T&C's then I see no problem. The solution is to not use those services.
I guess they'll keep having votes until they get the outcome they want
Now if you want to use something different from a VPN you could use a mesh mash of proxy chains with end to end encryption and Post Quantum Cryptography combined but if insist on using a VPN then try to find one that uses Post Quantum Cryptography so not even the VPN provider can see anything you do
Oh and you could make a Ghost computer which you can look into that too if you want which a Ghost computer is where you cut he cable to the camera and microphone and you take out the hard drive and you boot from a flash drive, what do you boot from the flash drive? Well you should boot Tails OS or any OS that has Tor running in the background when your using it and for a Ghost phone I would recommend taking out the hard drive if you can and cut the cable to the microphone and the camera and download android and change the code of android to run Tor in the background using a flash drive and C to USB adapter to use to boot off of the flashdrive
There's several problems but the biggest problem IMO is these bastards won't accept a fucking no. We voted no. Get over it. Right? But they won't. I agree that any private or public company can make their terms clear and anyone who willingly participates can do so β€” no problem there. What is problematic is a super-national corporation overruling national constitutions under guise of protecting the children even when that same corporation has received a NO vote. And not just once. They just keep pushing this shit. I bet anyone who turned from no to yes is in the fucking Epstein files or some shit like that. What else could corrupt a person to such an extreme degree? These people also tried making exceptions for themselves, and I'm not even shitting you. They'll be scanning everyone but themselves. Funny how it's all rich and famous people who do nasty shit to children but they get a pass on the scanning. Lol. Fuck that, man. GG WP to anyone European.
I have no doubt that they won't be scanned πŸ˜‚ And that, following my belief that a private company can do what they want given it is on the T&Cs. I completely agree the Eureich (the MPs) will somehow make themselves exempt from it coercively, unless the T&Cs end up saying "government excluded" - no problems with that. That being said. Just don't use this stuff. These services are UTTER trash. Alternatives exist and people REALLY must put their money or time where their words are.
I personally think this will go beyond online services. It'll likely extend to "oh if you want to sell a phone in the EU then it must have backdoor client side scanning". "oh of you want to be a telecommunications company providing services in EU they you must enforce call recording and SMS scanning". "Oh btw if you want to sell cars in EU then spread those buyers' assholes wide because you know well be stuffing a camera in that as well". Yes. Fuck the platforms/services. Least concern. I have no doubt they'll be milking this law until we're all thanking Ursula for letting us, the feeble minded plebs, lick her goddess-boots.
Yes, if it leads into coercive regulations (as that is what that would be). Then yeah, screw it, and I can see how they would push for that with the exact same: "It's for the kids" / "It's to stop anti-semitism" / "arab terrorism"
Ursula really is a peace of work. She reminds me of an "old guard" Afrikaaner, who worked in the state, who would have loved to rattle the peasants a little bit more. I say this based on her "oudoos" (old "doofus" generous translation)) haircut. Granny vibes. And hey grannies are cool, but not evil grannies or control freak grannies.
The EU reps have voted NO, twice, so some corporate types pushed through an emergency voting round during World Cup, to try a third time. There is so much AI money riding on this, it's ridiculous. They need the EU to adopt it, so that they can then force it on the Americans by saying, you need this, to be compatible with the EU.

No, this is about stopping it BEFORE it will be mandatory. Governments thought us, that EVERY LAW will be expanded and that they use frog boiling methods. That's why everyone has to keep pushing back even if it's a voluntary scanning
But this does mean voluntary actions get taken away. And secondly, we have tech that makes censorship hard. So why keep using those platforms? You want me to believe that the Euroids (police officers of the EU states) are going to enforce this on everyone? How will that even work. May as well cut the Internet off, ban import of routers etc. It becomes wild. It's like a 3D printer ban, it's just absurd. So I'd say, wait till it gets to that and then pushback (if you even need to, as mentioned: alt-tech is the answer)
