GM! Today, the European Parliament will vote on Chat Control 2.0 in an urgent procedure, even though it was previously rejected... Therefore there is no real urgency, people have already expressed their positions. But by pushing it this way, a majority of Parliament will need to vote against it. And since absences count as a "yes" vote, and summer has just started, you can imagine... well, these people are villains, and we’re pretty doomed in that sense.
The only good thing? Not much, tbh. We’ll have to carve our way out of this dystopia. So let's keep building 💪

"We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak."
1993 and yet never so true.
"Chat Control 2.0’s ‘urgent’ revival is pure procedural gaming—forcing votes during low turnout is a global authoritarian tactic. Reminds me of Tehran’s airstrike aftermath, where sidelined dissenters enabled hardliners to push agendas unchecked. Parallel playbooks.

Es indignanto como siguen intentando votarlo a pesar de todas las veces que se ha rechazado!
It's outrageous how even after all the times it HAS BEEN REJECTED, they still try to get it passed...
Procedural Trick Before Summer Recess Pushes EU Parliament Towards Capitulation on “Chat Control” – Patrick Breyer
People should ask: who the fuck is EU parliament?


Isn't it Chat Control 1.0 though? There is quite a difference, 1.0 is really bad, but 2.0 is much worse 😁.
I really don't give a shit about what a EU politician say or do.
FUCK THE STATE

this rat is riding the flotsam to another land
It’s actually extending 1.0, not fully implementing 2.0… yet…
I would reply but they've controlled the chat already...
Ups true, my bad. In my defense these guys try to make this as confusing as possible so no ones understand a shit
Since they will approve it anyway sooner or later the real question is:
Is it worth fighting to delay the approval? Or should we just let them approve it now to "speed up" the dystopian scenario so that people will be obliged to take action?
I'm starting to lean on the second one at this point
So evil …
GM, only way forward is to keep building the tools we need
Exactly
“Confusing”?
You’re being too polite 😅
Just joined Nostr today because of it… Many people will as well. They can try to prostitute democracy, yet they will only show how much of an authoritarian regime Europe actually is.
Welcome! Truth according to my visit. Every stay you have to show your passport, cameras in every nook and cranny.
Welcome
Yeah, treating everyone as a criminal is just wrong for countries that call themselves democracies…
Welcome :)
Nostr is a protocol and there are many applications you can run on the protocol. Checkout
for some as an example.
If you attach a bitcoin wallet people can send you Sats, I use @Alby on this Nostr social media application.
I am sure @mike can help if you have any questions. Also, broadcast queries 9n #asknostr .

Welcome
If you'd like some help about this weird protocol we call NOSTR I wrote some guides here:
I would start with this one here for some basic concepts:
If you have questions, the tag #asknostr is a good place to start.
If you want to write a brief hello, use the #introductions hashtag to allow people to find and welcome you.
Enjoy freedom speech and money.
