That just means whatever he is doing, it’s working. They’ll have to start banning copycats. Probably would have been better for them if they 🤐
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 3 weeks ago:
One of the main points about chat control is that it forces software developers to break their own encryption or face whatever the penalties will be. It is ridiculous and will hopefully be stopped in it’s tracks, unfortunately not enough people know about it, and even of the ones that do, not enough of them understand what it is and how dangerous it is. Basically, the governments have seen how lucrative it has been for the big techs, and how advantageous it can be to control our data. They have seen what the Israeli’s have been able to do with that information and tech. They want in. It has nothing to do with child protection. If it passes, all politicians better be squeakier and cleaner than squeaky clean. With their data not being scanned, we will likely have to watch them ourselves.

Watch the insurance payouts drop dramatically if these go through. Access to all of your medical history… Insane. Still nothing compared to the proposed EU Chat Control.

How long before somebody could write other software that would confuse this/make it less accurate etc.
Probably have to buy it first for millions

He still can’t do it with his mind

Blue if it was the other way around… Mens genetalia are pretty easy to change size of, if the right eyes are looking…
- Comment on Bands pull out from festival after group 'cut off' over Palestine flag 1 month ago:
It doesn’t matter if enough artists make a stand. It should turn those festivals to beige shit pretty quickly… Even the people you speak of wouldn’t want to attend.
It’s really all down to the artists and whether or not they want to help the genocide supporters profit.
- Comment on Bands pull out from festival after group 'cut off' over Palestine flag 1 month ago:
Expect festivals to become either a lot tamer and the bands to get in line, or expect a revolt by the artists. These guys could pretty much crush most artists off the live festival circuit. Most of the festivals are pretty small, but they also own Sziget, which is one of the biggest if not the biggest festival in Europe. There has already been a few boycotts for these.
KKR & Co. bought superstruct entertainment, who own and organise this festival with a few others last year for €1.3bn

Many artists backing out of music festivals snapped up by private equity firm KKR
Many Dutch artists are pulling out of festivals owned by the private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). They don’t agree with the American venture capitalist’s investments, including in companies active in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. They also seem concerned about private equity invading festivals, forcing up ticket prices and food prices, and destroying the vibe.
KKR owns multiple Dutch festivals. DGTL, Mysteryland, Amsterdam Open Air, and Zwarte Cross are among the Dutch festivals that have distanced themselves from their owner in recent days, NOS reports.
The venture capitalist also bought up the British festival organizer Supertruct Entertainment last year. The company owns and operates over 80 festivals in ten countries, including Awakenings and Defqon.1 in the Netherlands, Sziget in Budapest, and Sónar in Barcelona.

- Comment on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube 2 months ago:
Mike Masnick writes with his agenda clear.
The anger-driven drivel is ironic given how many times he refers to Australia as stupid. It’s possibly the worst, most single sided article I’ve read in a long time, if not ever.
Taking one perspective and running with it, even his single sightedness is narrow from the side he sits on.
I presume he named the publication after the way he posts his agenda… Pure dirt.
Not a single mention of privacy issues other than age verification systems, which is fucking laughable. Fuck off Masnick with your bullshit.

Strawberries, blackberries, mulberries, and raspberries are not berries.
Bananas, aubergine (eggplants), oranges and grapes are berries.
Dangleberries aren’t real berries either.

In Ireland they’re watching the mess with the trains and water unfold for years, and their government are making moves to privatise their water and trains.

My point was that individuals have been responsible for a lot worse, but never held accountable. It didn’t have to be rivers and fish. I could have linked to the endless other articles referring to the destruction of something. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmjj5gl6m0po
