@Em0nM4stodon @GinevraCat F*ck Ashton Kutcher. I recall he was on a panel railing against Tor Browser as a tool of pedophiles and arguing that the network needed to be infiltrated. I've hated him ever since. And all he was doing was promoting his own security business that likely couldn't deliver what he said needed to be done "to protect the children" TM [trademark] in the first place.

That's so disappointing and disgusting. I didn't know about this stuff being behind the curtains..

@Em0nM4stodon was a great article at the time! I wonder if it's still the same players pushing for chat control. WeProtect, Oak Foundation, Thorn...are the still around after the mini scandal of the 2023 proposal? I really want to believe Johanson is finally off the board but who knows...

@Em0nM4stodon Hey @EUCommission maybe read this though oh, of course...! Silly me, you already know since... well, /you know/!

@Em0nM4stodon Political careers need to be ended over forcing this bs on people.

@Em0nM4stodon So it’s good old corruption for tax euros. Like always. Fuck this shit. Fuck lobbyists.

@Em0nM4stodon I'm pretty sure "What about the children" is just an excuse for corporate spying - something that has been going on for decades. Before internet connections were common, a friend (who had an Apple system) bought a Microsoft product and it would let you use a fax modem to register it. He used that but configured the fax software to show what was being sent before it went out. He found it included a list of all the applications on his computer. He complained.

@Em0nM4stodon And Ashton Kutcher’s tech company showering corrupt politicians that should be flayed for treason

@Em0nM4stodon i figured most crap that citizens don't want is a money grab by politicians and corporate bellends

@Em0nM4stodon I'd wager a guess that many of the proponents are Palantir customers as well. I know my (fucking shitty piece of crap) country is at least. Apparently the development started around 4 years ago.

@Em0nM4stodon
I knew she (Ylva Johansson) was being fed bullshit talking points from a tech company considering the incoherent, mutually exclusive, babble she spouted.

@Em0nM4stodon idk why they focus on money than human and children what sick!

@Em0nM4stodon argh of course. ALWAYS follow the money.
