is giving a massive headache to those trying to pass a European bill aimed at stopping child sexual abuse material from spreading online.

Hot garbage lies

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I see two lies.

First, obviously the bill is not about stopping CSAM.

The second, in no way is this a massive headache to anyone. You guys know email filters are a thing right?

The same guys relentlessly defending the child mass murders in Gaza, here cosplay as being against child sexual abuse.

The irony is so massive that I'm surprised a black hole didn't form at Politico's main office in Germany.

Politico’s framing leans pro‑legislation, subtly signaling support for the bill by foregrounding officials and advocates who stress enforcement while downplaying arguments about encryption and civil liberties. Its emphasis on the public’s “disruptive” tactics risks delegitimizing grassroots opposition by casting broad civic engagement as mere nuisance rather than substantive democratic protest.

Politico is owned by Germany's largest right leaning yellow press publisher Axel Springer. They love to push Anti-Green, ultra conservative agendas

And Mathias Döpfner is himself an out of touch billionaire-class nut who applauds the tamping of freedoms (including of the press) and jumps at every chance to breathe life into lies that advance his oligarchic wet dreams. The kind of person who says horrible things, then lies about saying them, and when confronted with the receipts, pretends he was just being "edgy" or "provocative" to provoke the plebs.

News organizations that exist to accurately report the news and properly inform the public are the exception now, I'm afraid. The rest have an agenda, and it never involves the common good.

Common tactic for the elite media controlling class like Trump, Musk, etc.

wtf????? thanks for the info i was not at all aware that politico was an axel springer outlet

Axel Springer also gave an "award" to Sam Altman. Trump's not the only "American king" demanding tributes!
