Yes. That is also why we need to keep Kosovo out of the EU until this has been fixed - which I'm pretty sure won't happen any time soon :(.

I've heard similar things about Romania and Bulgaria which are both EU countries.

Corruption is also common practice within the EU (see: Eva Kaili), most of the upper EU just hides it better while pointing fingers at "unaligned" states, inside and outside of the EU.

If Von der Leyen wasn’t corrupt, I’m sure she wouldn’t have any problem handing over her texts.

Quite logical, same in France and likely many countries; if you run a Tor exit node (or any type of open proxy), you get visited by the police if someone does something wrong on your exit node. Otherwise what could happen is that you run a Tor node and use it as an excuse for any crime you do.

Couldn't you say the same for every coffee shop that gives random people Wi-Fi access?

If I was looking up illegal numbers, I would not want to do so in a coffee shop where someone might see me doing so.

This is similar to the first Episode of the "Mr. Robot" tv show. wow.

Not really. That person in the show didn't run an exit node but an entire commercial content network. The person in this case has no involvement in creating or hosting content, he's just involved in transporting traffic (any kind) because he believes in anonimity. His only motive is a principle, not money and he certainly doesn't agree with the content. I loved that scene by the way, where he disregards the changes o…

The eternal struggle. Information wants to be free, and then people use those freedoms to do the most screwed up things imaginable, and people like this pay the price.

Just regarding your overall concern around maps and cellular service, Google Maps lets you download maps within very custom sized tiles for offline use. I'm partial to using them when hiking, so I can orient myself in areas where the actual trail markers become questionable.

Routing doesn't really work offline, but that's a different/harder problem.

It stands for child molester. The other term you hear all the time inside is “weird” or “weirdo.” There are others, diaper sniper, skinner (“skin bief”). You generally won’t get killed though. People like to say that but in fed low, where all the cp stuff goes, they’re all protected and they’ll ship you out if you get caught hurting them. And they WILL tell.

In the U.K. they tend to be called nonces Always weird when you stumble into an encryption conversation

A former coworker started a startup, and very nearly used it in the name until he was informed of how the UK views the word.

I’ve never seen the term chomo before and I’m curious about its origin. Is it “homo” but with ‘c’ for child tacked on the front, or is it Spanish? Or something else, like a portmanteau of child molester?

Child porn, probably not getting killed but actual child molesters is pretty common.

Tangential to your much larger lament - OpenStreetMap, and specifically OSMAnd which is libre and free on F-droid, works great for offline maps that are downloaded ahead of time. (I think the version on Google Play limits the number of regions you can download unless you make a small donation).

Google maps offers this functionality. I've had my local map and maps of any place I regularly go to downloaded for many years.

Generated CSAM is equally illegal as "real" CSAM in many countries, such as Norway. Here, even fictional descriptions of such material in written form is illegal.
