Based on a new proposal by the Belgian Minister of the Interior, EU governments could endorse the much-criticised child sexual abuse regulation (CSAR or chat control) as early as June after all. This is what internal information leaked to Pirate Party MEP and shadow rapporteur Patrick Breyer reveals
If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear, and you’ll still have the security against the bad boys, but not against us. The magical golden radiant power of the law will strike us down if we ever attempt that. We can sign this with goat blood if you wish so.
Sarcasm, of course.
I’m not a EU citizen, I actually live in Russia, but the right time to riot would be about now. Once such a system is in place, everybody with power and position to infiltrate and misuse it - will. Be it some imagined neo-Nazi conspiracy, or a mafia organization, or a faction in the government allied with some other foreign government to assist its crimes. Any kind of what’s called “long hands”.
And once such hands have used it to achieve the desired influence, the environment will be too different for them to ever get punished for that.
Like if you are in a position to commit a genocide, that will only be a problem for you if you don’t finish the job. Otherwise nobody will be left to oppose you.
