This meme is just so annoying and dumb. I’m not from the US so yeah the Democrats would be considered right in most EU countries. But saying its either that or anarchy and Communism, is just dumb. Just like the political right, the political left is a spectrum. Where I live we don’t have a 2 party system. There is a big difference between a centre right and far right party, same for the parties on the left.

Yeah it works more like how cracks used to work back in the day.

Also delete the apps and use live chat to get them to delete your account.

What? I’m not sure how it is in the US but in many countries zoomers (men) are very right wing. These are the guys that watch rogan and Andrew Tate.

Did that but also removed my account, I was not an active subscriber, but after logging in they push you towards subscribing. AFAIK you can only delelte your account via live chat, be sure to mention Art. 17 GDPR Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’).

EU: We are not going to read your chats or look at your photos, we just stop the CP.

People: so how will you know what chats and photos contain CP?

EU: Just trust me bro…

Yeah this is where the EU has a problem, because our intelligence agencies don’t really have great alternatives. For police we can probably just go without palantir

Yeah we (Europeans) should also constantly keep fighting for our privacy and freedom. Thanks for sharing the link I’m glad the Netherlands is against it.

Americans when you talk about gun control: NOOO mah freedom, I need it to protect myself from the government.

Americans when you tell them a private company is going to monitor and track every citizen, basically making a dystopian police state: I have nothing to hide so it’s fine.

I feel Europe is basically the other way around, less guns, but more privacy.

I never had a blackberry, but my HTC Desire Z was peak typing. You slide the keyboard out and have a full keyboard. I typed very fast on that thing, every phone I got after that sucked at typing.

Let me give you one, kids try to explore topics out of curiosity. They are probably not going to look up someone torturing animals, because they don’t want to see that. Kids usually look up and explore things they are ready for. Also “kids” is a pretty diverse group, a 5 year old and a 15 year old kid are very different.

For real young kids parents should monitor online behavior anyway. For teens, how is life this different than looking at a playboy or a porn tape. Teens have been doing that forever, the people creating these laws probably did that when they where kids.

It’s probably a lot better to let kids (teens) explore nudity and sex in a safe environment, instead of letting them go unsupervised in places that ignore the law.

It’s basically the same argument with drugs, offering legal options vs. going to a dealer and possibly getting much more dangerous drugs mixed in.

So they have more time to watch people shooting each other.

When Trump got elected I sold some of my stocks. My investments are also my retirement funds, so I don’t need them for a while. I’m waiting until the next crash starts, or something else that’s pretty bad (war, rogue AI, whatever). If the market crashes I can immediately step in.

I once had stocks in Shell, mainly because it’s a Dutch company (I’m Dutch) and its a pretty stable investment. But it felt very wrong to invest in oil. So after a few months I sold them (thankfully with a little profit).

Personally I just don’t want to invest in anything I think fucks up the world. It’s also why I don’t want to invest in meta and some other tech companies.

It is also the equivalent of letting a LED light bulb run for an entire day (depending on bright it is, some LED bulbs use under 2 watts of power).

I do freelance work, so they would just tell me to get it myself. But I really don’t want to have multiple phones. In don’t use teams or mail on my phone anyway, only the authenticator apps (we have multiple).

It’s different for every one, but for me it would mean, I can’t use Microsoft authenticator, so I can’t do my job anymore, as it is required to access my mail, teams, files, logging worked hours, etc etc.

I can’t use any of my bank apps anymore, I can’t use my phone anymore for paying in a store or checking in public transportation.

And many more apps that would stop working.

Yeah I used iseekpasswords my older cousin told me about it

That a porn ban does not work and people will find a way around it.

When I was a kid there weren’t all this free porn sites and most of them were paid.

So you would go to some shady site where people shared passwords. This might make a comeback

It is assistive technology, but that is not how tesla has been marketing it. They even sell a product called full self driving, while it’s not that at all.
