From France: news outlets began parroting government stating GrapheneOS is used by narcos.
GrapheneOS reacted strongly.
However, France is on a very shitty auth-right trend (including arresting Telegram founder) so the reaction is very understandable.
France and the rest of Europe... sigh Fuck Fascists. That includes our German government, full of selfish fuckheads who further fortify the surveillance state.
It's just capitalism reaching it's end stages. Fascism arises either when capitalism is threatened or when it has eaten itself and its contradictions become too great for liberal "democracy" to ignore.
With climate change, refugees from wars and disasters, micro plastics and other pollutants, the waning of social programs, job market collapse across the world, collapsing birth rates, inflation, energy, and a hundred other things, capitalism is reaching its end stage.
There really are only a few options from here. And honestly I only see two major ones: either the rich win and we have literal slavery world wide (not wage slavery, actual no pay, no benefits, no nothing slavery) held up by hyper surveillance and armed bots/drones, or we break capitalism and move onto something better.
Always interesting how people down vote without any dialogue. Like... Sure you don't owe me any explanation, but idk it would be cool to hear people's opinions instead of just some downvotes.
Call me a cynic but I don't see humanity standing together against oppression, as much as I would want it...
