Shhht, the british government is looking for him

Go to an art museum and somebody will say ‘my 6 year old can make this too’, in my view this is a similar fallacy.

I was relieved when I learned NL is opposing, but to be fair I was also a bit surprised. Don’t think there is a good reason to be in favour of chat control, but kind of expect it from VVD, PVV and BBB anyway. They might even already want to expand it beyond child abuse to also include money launderers, immigrants and climate change protesters.

In the Netherlands there is also a class-action lawsuit coming up, guess there is roughly the same amount of android users here. Maybe a bit more. Will be interesting to see how much lower that amount will be.

A lot of advertising is annoying and misleading, even good advertising can lead to people buying stuff they don’t need. I am definitely not pro-advertising but it does serve more than monopolistic capitalism, especially on a more local level.

I 100% agree and totally get why I am being downvoted, but just disabling advertising or banning tracking cookies are not a magic fix to save the internet from the perspective of the companies that now show these ads. But I am definitely I favour of changes, the enshittication went way to far already. But there is more than big social media platforms is what I mean to say.

I’m not a fan of being tracked so don’t get me wrong, but without the money earned with advertising the Internet will look very different and not only in a good way.
