Please, could the bootlickers of the European Union stop downvoting every single criticism of it?

Are you so obtuse to be unable to figure out that by being like annoying school marms you are just making people start to pay more attention to the populists?

Framing this as the EU's attempt is antieuropean propaganda.

It is the Conservatives attempt. The EU parliament is the entity that shot it down last time.

why are the epsteinists so obsessed with destroying our freedoms and privacy?

The trick here is to make it impossible to do so.

Don’t put your shit in the cloud and use proper E2E secure messaging.

For me the entire idea of the cloud is dead due to exposure like this.

But don't worry, exceptions for ALL officials are built in. And I do mean ALL officials. In this bill, for example, pedophile gym teachers are perfectly safe from getting scanned.

Gym teachers are also the largest group of people convicted for pedophilia. So you can be sure they are keeping their priorities straight. States, and the monopoly telco's are also protected from paying even the tiniest amount of money for companies to do these scans, all costs are entirely offloaded to app developers.

So the priorities are clear:

1) protecting the state from even the tiniest amount of responsibility, even at the cost of children getting abused

2) keeping some 50 foreign states from the same

3) keeping a whole list of organizations safe from inspections

4) keeping the state safe from actually spending any amount of money on these scans

...

n) protecting children

They hate us for our freedoms.

A shame the EU is just simulation of democracy.

Best case in point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_corruption_scandal_at_th...

Let’s migrate our apps to the EU!

Trump Derangement Syndrome is widespread in Europe. Quality of life has gotten so bad and continuous to decline except for mainly Poland and Hungary.

And what do systems cling to especially in situations like these? Surveillance.

Another massive not so funny joke once again hit Germany the week ago - a smear campaign and hit piece to justify even more censorship.

Germany is going down the drain - and the elite is trying to silence freedom of speech massively while ignoring doing what’s important and what’s right.

Have fun migrating your app to the EU. No one is coming to save you especially not your shitty infrastructure. Energy crisis, and devs think it is a good idea to go for 2% uptime in the near future.

It is so ridiculous.
