Well this is disheartening. How many chances do they get? Bet you people will vote yes just to have it stop bothering them.

That's the worst part about these things. They get infinite attempts, but it just takes 1 time to pass all the gates and we all lose.

Look at the brighter side

For those who reject this, some will be serious anti-evil rebels, and humanity always needs that

There's just so much other shit to deal with in life, this doesn't need to be yet another thing. And this is big.

[–] hoohoohoot@fedinsfw.app 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly.

They think they will achieve something by screwing with the population..

Wrong

I hope you're right. But the population needs to start caring about this first, and I don't think they do. Majority of people aren't concerned with privacy, is my feeling. They might become upset if you tell them their privacy is taken away, but they are easily fooled by saying it's for the children's safety, etc.

And people easily forget. Because of that very reason as well — that there's just so much other shit to deal with on a daily basis in life. 😮‍💨

They dont care because of a lot of other shit, yes

But this will after some time become "the shit", too

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think so too. Let's hope it won't be "too late" by then.

By too late I mean that the government ~~Europe~~ will have full control over the population.

US and China are different?

Sorry, majorly incorrect autocorrect there. I corrected. 😁

Chat Control 1.0 passed, but isn't scary. Chat Control 1.0 says that a large company can read your messages if it wants to. We know they already do this and you're a fool if you are sending secret information on these platforms.

The scary part is they will definitely use the same trick to pass Chat Control 2.0 (the real Chat Control) and all sorts of other laws.

The EU Council is the prime minister (or other head of state) of every EU country. They don't really need the EU to pass laws, it serves a purpose like the WEF for them where they discuss the laws without public input.

[–] hoohoohoot@fedinsfw.app 1 points 1 week ago

I mean why be this evil?

[–] Ophrys@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah 1.0 is definitely the entry point for 2.0 etc

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Aaaaannddd I'll be setting up my own encrypted chat server

[–] hoohoohoot@fedinsfw.app 1 points 1 week ago

Wait, you arent doing this already?

Maybe the gov comes and knocks on your door with a warrant

COMPLY or 6 years in prison (as an example)

[–] hoohoohoot@fedinsfw.app 1 points 1 week ago

They think they are above the law ane can make just about anything "the new rules"
