When it comes to online actions people ask for way more than reasonable. You dont get to be an invisible, impossible to track, unaccountable hacker man free to roam the internet on equal footing to the rest of the users.

I agree on the base of the argument. EU after all was created because of one tragedy. I'm absolutely sure that there will be more gruesome wars on the continent and I even wouldn't rule out the collapse in the future because petty tribalism holding everything back as always. But this is the hatred you are talking about? https://www.politico.eu/article/europeans-embrace-eu-gloom-w...

"Eurobarometer by the EU shows Europeans love the EU" seems legit lol Probably because most Europeans are clueless and brainwashed by MSM pro-EU propaganda, and never hear about the nasty things the EU tries to do like chat control, age-ID, car surveillance, or taxing parcels. To most Europeans EU just means going to Spain on vacation and going to work in Germany for more money, anything else stupid the EU does never…

So which is it?

Are the stats fake, or are Europeans actually saying this because they are brainwashed?

Because you are trying to have both. First, official EU polling is illegitimate propaganda. Then, in the next breath, you explain why Europeans really do support the EU. That means the poll is not fake. You just hate the answer.

Every result you dislike is fake, and every person who disagrees with you is brainwashed. Very brave epistemology.

CSA makes ppl lose all logic, so is used to justify illogical things. Reminder that none of this has any evidence that it helps CSA, but nobody cares about the actual children.

I feel like the world cares more about stopping the spread of CSAM than it does the actual abusive actions against children.

We can look to certain world "leaders" for confirmation of that.

> Taking away people's privacy and freedom of speech is a little more problematic than just "a little bureaucracy" I mean yes but it is ultimately your framing. It's concerning and worth being fought against but no worse that what US was, is or has tried to do, and despite the corrupt buffoon at its head right now, it is not a dictatorship yet. What we need is a good balance of powers and well-designed institutions,…

>I mean yes QED. End of story. Rest is just meaningless ranting that doesn't disprove anything I said before.

Amazing, you even support autarky in debating

Alternative for Germany (Alternativ für Deutschland, AfD) is a party that wants to revoke citizenship of brown people and expel them from the country. There are very good reasons they should be banned. Their opposition to chat control is completely incidental.

Maybe don't trust AI so much.

Obviously the fascists don't put their most odious ideas in writing, they plan them in secret instead.

Most everyone would love to see more work on stopping child sexual abuse. But this is the ultimate "grant me dictatorial powers so I can do good" play. Rather than narrow and specific - it's a broad based law that suddenly touches everyone even though offenders are a small percentage and should be able to be targeted more efficiently.

The bad consequences are diffuse, abstract and distant (conspiracy-looking, tinfoil-like), while it's very easy to viscerally understand that "even if they just save one child, it's already worth it". They should give precise numbers of how many such crimes are detected via such means or are expected to be detected per year, and how many of those are not possible to catch through regular investigative work. It just s…

They should add to those metrics: hours and funds wasted investigating false positives, reputations ruined from false accusations and investigations, decline in public trust, etc.

This party is far-right neofascists that are openly hostile to the democratic order and wants to deport German citizens to Africa if they're not Aryan enough.

> It would be hard to imagine a US party that didn't believe the other party is out of compliance with US values

This is a limitation of the American two-party system that incentives polarization instead of cooperation.

We have a working multi-party democracy and a majority across parties and ideologies voted for this.

To say this has anything to do with Chat Control betrays either a deep lack of understanding of European politics or a conscious attempt to mislead in order to garner support for extremists.

Let's stop the blut and soil BS right here. I am all for european panationalism but don't pretend that Europe is "your house" where "your ancestors" were. You come from a very specific culture inside it which has its own specific language and traditions and that has spent most its history warring with its neighbours, sometimes people in the next village speaking a different version of your lanuage. My ancestors and y…

>Let's stop the blut and soil BS right here Would you also tell that to native American Indians? Or to the Japanese? Or to the Indians? It's no BS unless you've been brainwashed and make massive efforts to ignore reality. Blood based belonging to a place is hardwired in every culture and society on the planet, from Asia to the Americas. NA, UK, AU, NZ, and the EU just have added a lot of PR paint on top to pretend it…

If they were saying to me what you wrote that $big_chunk_of_land "is the land that housed, fed and scarified my ancestors, is my house, not this supra-governmental corrupt bureaucratic institution called" $state_institution, I would laugh them off, yes

Is afd supporting that idea?

They support expelling certain ethnic and religious groups from Germany, but it's not clear if the Jews are one.

It's probably safer for them to be vague about who exactly they mean. Both to stay legal and to give voters the chance to project whichever people they hate most onto that policy.
