PonyOfWarGermany is not supporting chat control
Some good fucking news.
See you guys next year to push it back again.
Maybe you should force referendums forbidding it and like mass warrantless surveillance including using data broker info without oversight.
Petition signatures demanding one, might take a bit but it is the only way to stop them. Short of electing better reps. Somehow that is not possible anywhere in the west on balance though.
Richard Wonka@hector the masses are too easily driven to bad decisions out of fear.
Just consider the power of junk like the Sun, Bild and other rage-fear-and-misinformation “news” outlets.
Idk with a little organization we could easily drive that fear towards our own ends, protecting us from government and organized groups didn’t even more of our info.
Here in the United States we have achieved a number of things through referendums that our politicians would never do.
Like legalizing marijuana, my state of Michigan we ended gerrymandering by giving the drawing of legislative districts to an independent body as Arizona did before.
We have enshrined voting rights into the state constitution. Raised the minimum wage, although the lawmakers did rat fuck that through a quirk of our system that allows them to vote it in after it gets approved for the ballot but they cut the cost of living adjustment out of it.
A loophole we are trying to close but that effort got rat fucked as well so far.
We are working on ranked Choice voting right now.
You know what, you’re right. Given the state of things we are far beyond just being reactive to that shit and have to proactively stop it. I’m sure there are already efforts in that direction, I’ll look into it.
EU Constitution with a proper Bill of Rights of some sort including not being spied on by the government, unless permitted by a court or something similar.
Then they’ll just create secret courts, which will permit carte blanche spying en mass.
We already have it, they want to take it away ,The European Union recognizes privacy as a human right through two main legal instruments: the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights. The Charter’s Article 7
Or forcing the proponents of these reforms to reveal themselves. AFAIK they’re proposing this crap to hit on everyone’s privacy while keeping their own identities anonymous.
