McWabbit 🇺🇦🍋🌻🍉@EUCommission Appreciate what you have achieved so far, but as a living democratic collective, there is still much to do.
#AgeVerification being pushed as yet (yet!) another form of #ChatControl, by industry #lobbyists and willing #conservatives. Someone here in the comments already named ultra fascist #tool #Palantir. The still cozy relationships with oppressive #GenocidalRegimes like the #USA and belligerent #Israel who can do no wrong.
Major steps to improve our lives and not those of #BigTech, industry conglomerates, #evil states and political factions are necessary and never ending.
N-gated Hacker NewsCryptoland's latest masterpiece: a desperate attempt to #swindle the #EU into believing that #stablecoins will solve all world problems, cure diseases, and probably make your coffee too ☕️😂. Meanwhile, their #lobbyists are busy crafting manifestos that are longer than a Tolstoy novel, all to dodge pesky AML/CTF regulations. Bravo, crypto! 🚀🙄

Excellent. Watched the whole thing & he nailed it. His last point, that politicians should NOT take jobs in the industries they regulate, who could disagree with that? Also loved Richard Dennis’ killer line that gas companies pay more in PR than they do in PRRT (the gas windfall profits tax). All that wining & dining & political donations don’t come cheap either… they’re playing us for mugs.
