We the people need to write to our mps that we oppose this attack on privacy.

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they know. I don't think they care.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

Still write them. Make them have no deniability of the issues.

[–] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

They don't give the slightest fuck. Sounds like a good time to ditch the net.

[–] thatonecoder@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No. That's what they want: to silence y'all. Fight back.

There’s literally bad actors paying people $33 per letter to sway their representatives in democracies.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

You have any sauce for that? They pay influence operations to write thousands and thousands of fake comments and all sorts of things, not usually Americans though, and not individual people, but companies based out of low-income countries like India speak English.

Where can I sign up for this $33 per letter?

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t be a tool.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

I’ll give you $33 to fuck off.

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Time to build a new net.

I'm already on more darknets than they can count. At least I'm pretty sure they can't, because they're not very bright, and probably can't count very high.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

If they could read they'd be very upset.

[–] ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace@piefed.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We the people don't matter to this government.

I tried emailing my mp on multiple occasion and never got so much as an automated response

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Mine has written me back personalized responses.

Varies by MP.

I do not want to disclose what riding I live in.

Liberal. I get the feeling is not everyone’s experience, but mine is good.

I’ve found NDP MPs can be good as well, some they’re often community minded people.

You're one of the lucky ones.

I’m writing my MP, this is important.

This bill is fucking wrong. I don’t care if you think teens shouldn’t have access to porn, THIS bill as written is not the way.

All this bill will do is funnel that pen you watch directly to the US government and corporations.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

We the people is an American thing.

You're a subject, knave.
