Haha I made a similar thing about the American democrats recently, after reading my SMS spam:

@Migueldeicaza That crap is produced in your country, not in the EU. Take your fights where they belong.

@helge @Migueldeicaza To be fair, it's long overdue that the EU blocks X and Grok. Right now, the reaction only shows that all the proposals of breaking E2E encryption in the name of "child safety" were never about CSAM.

@melgu @Migueldeicaza That is correct, what is inappropriate is Americans blaming the EU for stuff that is produced on their behalf. Stop that and stand up against for real in your country.

@helge @Migueldeicaza I don't see it as blaming the EU (coming from Miguel), just showing the inspiration for his meme. And I, coming from Germany, very much criticize the EU in this regard.

@melgu @Migueldeicaza The EU is not the fairy land the leftier Americans dream of if they would ever actually follow the political shifts here either.

@helge @melgu it goes to show that the EU doesn’t really care about CSAM, it cares about spying on their citizens.

And I will continue posting my opinions m, thank you very much :-)

@helge @melgu @Migueldeicaza he is not blaming us, I read it as Miguel siding with us, the European people, mocking our governments misuse of Chat Control.

@helge @melgu @Migueldeicaza the EU is free to block CSAM any time they like. They are choosing not to and I can only think of one reason why that is.
Show threadHelge HeßJan 11
@bangskij @melgu Again, the wrong way around. The US is free to stop those CSAM producing sites any time they like. It’s a major US company, not some fishy small weird project. They are choosing not to and I can actually think of multiple reasons why that is.
Show threadMelvin GundlachJan 11
@helge @bangskij Again, the EU is free to act on its own. And since the US is not a reliable partner, it has to. It doesn’t help to point at the US and say „Fix your stuff“ when we know, they won’t. So we (the EU) have to act on our own.

@helge @Migueldeicaza And is headquartered in Ireland and being protected by the Irish government from taxes and regulation.

I’d say the fight is exactly where it needs to be.

Honesty, I expect the EU to just monetize this with a fine.

@bryan, @Migueldeicaza –

I might have thought so, but it's possible the staff are still busy designing iOS.

@Migueldeicaza because it’s not actually about the CSAM

@Migueldeicaza This is a two-panel meme image. On the left, under the text “The EU”, there’s a muscular Doge standing, with the text below: “When the plan to fight CSAM is putting backdoors in all our secure messengers”. On the right, under “Also the EU”, there’s a sad, crying Doge sitting, with the text below: “When Grok generates CSAM on X at an industrial scale every day”.
