@benroyce this! @punissuer @EUCommission

@EUCommission
I am very happy the EU has finally broken free from the US-epstein tech, hopefully #Canada will soon also break that deviant addiction, it is about national security after all.

@leavex This is exactly what I wanted to say!
It's good that the EU can fine companies but their fascist work will not end with that. Zuckerberg and Musk can pay even high fines just with a big laughter.

Time to leave at least the platform whose boss is connected with open fascism and child abuse. Everything else means collaboration (can be learnt in German history).

@EUCommission

@EUCommission Good news: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce3ex92557jo

Bad news: Politicians, organisations and media still use that swamp. Leave X!!!

However, that is not an option.

@ngong @decorum @EUCommission This may be true but they cannot enforce their own laws and the Single Market is dysfunctional at best

@ambiguous_yelp @EUCommission it really is weird the different, simultaneous efforts, which seem to be diametrically opposed.

@EUCommission yes, that is good.

We would all, also appreciate it, if the EU Commission decides to protect our privacy as per EU Charter and moves against Chat Control.

Protecting children and privacy shouldn't happen at the expense of the other.

We can understand that article 52 states : “Subject to the principle of proportionality, limitations may be made only if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of
general interest recognised by the Union or the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others.”

Infringing on the rights of people to protect children may seem commendable (?) but the objectives of protecting the rights and freedoms of children are not met by these measures either.

Unfortunately, the rights of children are also at risk because age assurance measures are left up to third parties that misuse this data. It only takes a single misuse incident for such data to be online forever, both for children and adults, who then fall prey to AI exploitation.

Exploitation such as, undressing via dedicated AI models all the way to biometric surveillance. We can't allow people to live in fear of exploitation, as we have seen in America (ICE) where such data is indeed being misused to target individuals and often so by racial discrimination.

@EUCommission Bull shit. All you're saying is the EU is in control, not the people, at the end of the day. No better than the US government's attempt to control. Just another police state.

@decorum @EUCommission Seconded. The digital regulation/legal landscape is undermined enough by the inaction of the authorities here in Ireland.

@EUCommission then on to stopping chat control, right? Right?

@EUCommission y'all are gonna stop chat control right? Right?

@EUCommission

Just. Stop. Mass surveillance.

#chatControl

@EUCommission Since the EC also wants "Big Tech" to scan all communications with AI and people are tracked continuously under the supervision of kafkaesque bureaucracy, who will control this feed if #chatcontrol is approved?

@EUCommission Why are all those spaces missing in the text?

@mardor@ruhr.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu tbh im not really sure what to think of it. Whats the problem?

@EUCommission, #FreeSoftware #OpenSource shows the way

@carbon_compound @leavex @EUCommission @benroyce Ad-hominem. Unnecessary. A detail that derails the conversation. MEPs need to leave that platform now. Frankly, these “Gotcha!” replies come across as immature. It would be better if you had some kind of argument in favor or against. But no, just trying to gain some quick internet cred. Sad. A waist of time for everyone.

@EUCommission Bye Big Tech! Hello FOSS!

Btw, it would be kinda awesome if the EU could find some Euros tucked away somewhere and sponsor (EU-hosted) Fediverse instances

For the EU it's a small amount but for the Fedi it could be evolutionary
