Never forget that Epstein was talking about fucking children in plaintext on Gmail and they did nothing whenever you see politicians say encryption should be illegal so they can capture criminals.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 19 hours ago

I'm only holding out on going KoS on ANY politician because I still need to be alive to do some things.

I have no ethical or physical issue with grabbing one of them, and dragging them into a bush.

If they wanted to do anything about pedophiles, they could.

Motherless is in the Netherlands, an EU country, right? A website that has hosted child pornography for more than a decade (Amanda Todd killed herself in 2012? They took it down for a little while after that whole “global network of guys raping their sleeping partners and uploading it” thing earlier this year, but it’s up again. I doubt it would take more than 10 minutes to find illegal content on there right now.

It’s all a farce. It’s entirely possible to target individuals making and distributing CSAM, but it’s much easier to do nothing and use it as an excuse to spy on citizens.

It makes much more sense when you realize that most of the old, white men with money or political power are the ones looking at those sites.

*fucking. You can type fucking on the internet. Don't worry, we won't tell your mommy.

[–] custom_username@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You also don't have to either? Weird thing to be triggered about.

[–] Leg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

How are you defining "triggered"? I keep seeing it used this way, and it makes no sense.

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To be fair they do seem to think it would really catch pedophiles; why else would they exclude themselves?

[–] Manticore@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But what would be the point? Nobody's doing anything about the high-profile pedophiles we already know. And kids have a bunch of other more common needs that are being conveniently ignored. The maths ain't mathing

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm just calling them pedophiles. Please be either intelligent or anti-fun, not both. Anti-intellectual spaces without stupid jokes are the worst.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's already done Sir. Our private data is again being scanned by US corporations to protect our children.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

* to better optimize ads, and to sell AI surveillance to crackpot dictators.

It's being scanned by everyone and everything that has access to scan it. Probably your own government too, even if you have laws supposedly prohibiting that.

How can they stop me from just doing this: U2FsdGVkX19+NGkQMc6FHt46SCVJ0SWyaPd8zo6lqiZ3V0H+IbR/EKhIt9B+o8Bu

here we go once again to being fucking embarrassed to be European.

the first try of this made me stop voting altogether because all the fucking parties on my country were a YES. Fuck politicians, hope they all get killed.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 107 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Funny how they're trying so hard to catch pedos not won't arrest a single motherfucker in the Epstein files

Jesus. I'm not in the EU, but how is this the first I'm hearing about this?

Time to go back to email and GnuPG.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

yeah i keep thinking, we're not getting around the law. we have to get around an effective implementation though by using 3rd party platforms, i.e. ones that don't conform to legal pressure.

Because they're trying to suppress the public reaction.

You won't hear about this on prime-time TV news, and it’s even censored on some more popular parts of the internet, like Reddit.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

nah i just think that lots of people are tired of hearing about it. since it's an issue year-over-year, they're just waiting until we're getting tired about it. then they'll sneak it in.

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It has been approved, it seems that democracy is dead in the EU.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

They've waited for MPs to be on vacation too.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

if they really wanted to catch pedophiles they'd be in D.C. right now

[–] ollie@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

genuine question, im not in the EU, how would this affect self hosted/federated E2EE chat services like Matrix and XMPP?

[–] lavander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

As always in these cases… it depends if backdoors will be mandated. Maybe not in the first version… maybe in the cond or third… you need to make people to accept things a bit at the time

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 17 points 2 days ago

I will never not be the guy in the bottom-right corner

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (15 children)

I say, “Arm up and kill authoritarians.” Likelihood is that you’ll also kill lots of pedos at the same time.
