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

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's not true; they arrested one!

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only because they really wanted to already. Boo

Also they kinda killed him so he couldn't talk.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is about the EU guys, France just took on the case

Oh I mean globally, because the pedo class all have private jets.

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.

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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 week 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.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

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

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

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

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

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 week 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

If I ever, ever somehow end up living in a world where it’s not possible to communicate with someone digitally and be completely encrypted, if we get to a point where you MUST put your ID into signal and have the government scan all signal messages, I’ll probably just kill myself.

And take a few politicians with me at the very least.

[–] ivan@piefed.social 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Oh, come on.

You can still DIY shit like Meshtastic

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

... where it’s not possible to communicate with someone digitally...

I'd be thrilled to go back to that, if what we're getting now instead is the only other option. But, I grew up in the before-times, so I'm not so put off by the idea.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're still getting surveilled in real-life conversations ... if anyone in the conversation is stupid enough to bring their phone or other 'smart' device (including any modern car).

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And they are. They're all that stupid.

You cannot ban cryptography, so the messenger is not the problem. You can control computing hardware tho...

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

better idea: communicate irl. and also we need proper end-to-end encrypted chats that exchange public keys from device to device directly (NFC or QR code) (which requires physical meeting).

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (15 children)

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

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