@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange There are technical solutions without mass surveillance.But I am not optimistic enough to believe those will be demanded.Specifically because of the lack of surveillance, and the lack of monopoly protection for big tech.Pretty sure big tech lobbyists are making sure the worst approaches possible get put into law. Not because they are evil per se, but because it strengthens their monopolies.

@Nicovel0 why it is extremely difficult to determine, for example, that a fascist state can be ruled out. The adjusting screws tend to be more about money. We do need reforms.But the fact that there are so many right-wing politicians in the European Parliament is clearly a failure on the part of the voters, not the EU. We need to take these elections more seriously. We need to do even more to educate people about civic participation.I see the differences between France and Germany: in De so

@leavex @viennawriter @dresstokilt not sure if that sarcasm helps us, that doesn't sound like a welcoming community. Of course, I share the opinion that they should all leave X immediately.But.. I guess since it has been a working machinery for journalists and Officials for a long time and partially apparently still works that way, they are hesitating and not courageous.

While we talk about the declining democracy in USA, rightly so, and there are many parts of the world where it already is much worse.Jimmy Lai and eight more got long sentences in HongKong. For non-crimes.

@mistergibson @bodhipaksa @EricFielding The Veruka Strategy -- make it expensive for billionaires to fund a fascist movement. "The through‑line is simple: every new front the regime opens is another bill it has to pay-- with money, infrastructure, legitimacy, & people. The most effective counter‑strategy is to make compliance more expensive than resistance for everyone feeding this machine: ...”... help starve a project that is now threatening almost everyone, everywhere."

@energisch_ @EUCommission I so agree with you! He needs to be stopped!

The phrase "inactive on X" should also be changed since those MEPs said they are no longer using the platform.

Is this really the goal of the current U.S. regime - that Europe ultimately takes over U.S. military bases? If so, they’re well on their way. Trust burns fast, and alliances don’t survive contempt. #Europe #NATO #TransatlanticRelations #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #Security #Trust #NoAppeasement
