thats because they want to watch you much much closer, but still pretend that decision was democratic. so they try again until we are too fed up to care.
From what I can glean, it's another sort of mass surveillance, wherein the provider of a chat service would be required to monitor communications for "suspicious activity"
Basically, the government is once again asking for unrestricted access to your personal life "for your own good"
I always thought the "see something, say something" tag-line was creepy as fuck and don't understand why everyone doesn't get the same vibe. It's common sense that if you see someone being harmed or in a harmful situation you speak up. But this is just a blanket "see something" which feels like a dog whistle for all the nosy and paranoid people to spy on everyone and it's for the best. I guess we'll have the same personalities in search algorithms going forward -_-
Already posted about months ago : https://lemmy.ml/post/16469106, it was refused but they will try each time, again and again.
Waiting for the 4 September result.
Depends on where you were in the 80s and 90s. If you were in America, the future EU, or Eastern Asia, for example, those were great times. If you were in Rwanda, Bosnia, or Afghanistan (The Soviet-Afgan war) I doubt many people call that peak humanity.
I don't think this is a political issue. There is support for this kind on legislation across political lines.
The only way to stop this is to call out the leadership who is wanting this. That means breaking down political barriers so that a leader or representative can be called out my all. When things become political you end up seeing politically leaning organizations ignoring representatives who are of the same political party. It becomes more of political slander than actual concerns.
Aren't all (most?) those centralized services? What good is having the app if the service is unavailable?
Tox, Jamie and Veilidchat are fully decentralized, not just federated, fully decentralized. They come with their own downsides though...
