Today, the European Parliament allowed the suspicionless mass scanning of private communications (“Chat Control 1.0”) to pass, a measure it had rejected twice in March. Although a majority of voting Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) actually opposed the regulation (314 against, 276 in favor, 17 abstentions), the motion to reject it failed to secure the required absolute majority of 361 votes. As a result, mass scanning is now permitted again until 2028.

Maybe climate change turns out to be the good thing.

ok. here is the US we got a fucked up president. honestly i looked into what ot would take to move in case things got really really bad. but both canada and uk (maybe france) passed Meta's kid ID law. now the EU is passing this. our government may be disfinction due to insane infighting but this stuff doesnt get passed. now some states have but that can be overriden. and its a lot easier to relocate states.

i do want people to know that i am complaining because i wanted europe to be the goos guys. i was on a big europe software and services mission but this stuff is crazy.
