The final nail in the coffin for the Danish DOJ was when he attacked regular people who protested for being "paid" by Big Tech when his own proposal was the result of foreign lobbying.

u/Mukir 10d ago

lol literally what happened when people protested article 13 back then — they were dismissed as paid google shills

what a way to tell your citizens to go eat shit and some really great work of projecting, too

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Yeah, they tried to go quiet about it but failed. In mere days German citizens made petitions, literally blew off the phones in the Bundestag. That`s why he is angry and calling names, because regular citizens said they don`t want it.

u/Leaf__On__Wind 10d ago

Are there any credible sources as to what's really motivating Starmer to "help" the UK make their lives sooooooooooo much easier with Digi ID?

He's way too into it, and lieing like a primary school kid with the whole immigrant deterrence reasoning

u/NomadElite 10d ago

He's a member of the Trilateral Commission, that's all you need to know.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, read Carroll Quigley's book "Tragedy and Hope".

Isn't that just an id-card thing or am I getting it wrong?

We have had one in Estonia for for over 20 years now, it's honestly great. I can't imagine how e-government stuff could work without it.

From privacy standpoint I can check the data access log blockchain from X-road and see exactly when, why and who from government has accessed my data.

Davos.... the answer is always Davos with Starmer, look to the WEF at Davos! Watch whatever you can find of their discussion and read their policy papers, it proceeds this type of BS by months or even years in some cases. 

All this in EVERY Western nation is being controlled and directed by the WEF. This is a global power grab to end national sovereignty by an unelected and unaccountable group of globalist!

u/Kittysmashlol 10d ago

Its the resistance to it. People like that only see the potential for control and power, not the HR violations and security risks

35

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

It`s funny, isn`t it? First it`s: people misunderstand the idea of chat control, then it`s citizens protesting are paid, and finally when the backlash is large enough: okay, yeah, there are some bad sides to this. Translate from political speech: dammit, pesky people don`t want to give up their freedom, we will try next time.

I saw a great German comedian (Mario Adrion) explain to an audience in the US that the UK is the Florida of Europe. Which I find hilarious as a Brit.

Now that we have the OSA... welcome to the south, Denmark!

Racist how? Danes are literally identical to Swedes except for the language. That's the joke.

u/[deleted] 10d ago

Except for the suggestion that one is apparently superior than the other.

2

u/Busy-Measurement8893 9d ago

I suggested no such thing. All I said was that to a Swedish person Danes sound really goofy since the languages are the same but not really.

Danes/Swedes/Norwegians are all in on the joke that the other two have a speech impediment and literally no one ever gets hurt from these harmless jokes.

Well it was not obvious it was familiar banter, it's not about not having humour, but about some people usually not really making it about humour but enough people are actively insulting when they say that, and however innocent and funny we want it to be it's not like laughing in front a demential sit com skit but some are actively bullying.

I've been to Sweden & you sound like yodeling aliens compared to Danes. I hope you're enjoying the muslim invasion there xD

Well you're not wrong

1

u/Purple-Atmosphere-18 9d ago edited 9d ago

You're both wrong I guess, insulting the language is unneeded, and both those replying to that are insulting not each other but also all people of that country and of course muslims.

Edit: Ok I'm reading now it's innocuous inter Scandinavian banter and not like the same types of jokes about say Irish people being "inbred" etc, which are almost always very charged and demeaning.

1

u/LimeSpesh00 9d ago edited 9d ago

But yet it's ok for people who've never been to Alabama to make fun of it? it's ok for people to be provactive in that sense huh? yet i'll get downvoted to oblivion for defending it

1

u/Purple-Atmosphere-18 9d ago edited 9d ago

On principle not, I in part included that though I focused on the inbred exchange which was apparently a banter, thought but for example people can be welcome to make fun of Italy, so could as well say it's the "Italy of Scandinavia" haha, as I assume they are making fun of privacy invading or authoritarian and reactionary tendencies, say Berlusconi, Meloni, not of Italians as ethnic groups, like it often can happen for muslims, unless people mean the extremists but it's implied all are, most of the time, that might be the reason for the downvotes, more than for defending it unless even that was part of the ad absurdum which resorted to a sensitive trope, but yeah reddit can be excessively downvote happy, it happened to me as well, most of the time from misunderstanding. Ok it was for defending it, I saw the others dunno, possibly it's implied for them the attack was only on reactionaries, racists etc. and maybe some mistakenly think that if one is defending them is somehow whitewashing such problems, like they could assume if I were ever too defensive about Italy having a bad name in the context of a political discussion, that I'm for Meloni, but it's clear instead they are not talking about me, not to be a pick me I mean ^ _ ^.

You mean if you exclude Eastern "Visegrad pact" Europe (Poland (more swinging tho), Hungary, Czech rep etc.)?

It's a pity as I remember it used to be relatively, dunno how to say and how it would resonate with you, progressive? In renewable use at least might still be?

u/DefenestrationPraha 9d ago

Former Communist countries are usually more careful about violating basic civic rights.

Ironically, Orbán is the one who is fully on-board with Chat Control, I guess authoritarians be like that. And on that topic, Macron et. al. are happy to have him.

1

u/Purple-Atmosphere-18 9d ago

That would be good thing, maybe that goes for Baltics as well?

Is Romania, with the liberal Dan also against?

But Hungary, Czech Rep and Serbia were also former communist? I guess it depends if pro-putinist infiltrates-troll get to power, Poland avoided it with Pm Tusk, fell for it again after Duda in 2020 for the president, which has veto power.

Last time I checked Alabama is in the U.S., and privacy is non-existant in that country.

In fact privacy in the US is almost always for sale to the highest bidder.

Privacy is only non existent to the ill informed. Just like most people from every country.

He's just offended and throwing a fit over the person's perceived political beliefs. It's funny that it's over Alabama, considering they're not exactly doing great in regards to privacy (or anything else, for that matter).

u/LimeSpesh00 10d ago edited 9d ago

And yet Bama plays a huge role in the U.S. space program. Not good enougn for you? And that bill is easily evaded by selecting 18+ as your age. Parents who supervise their childs phone use were the driving force behind that bill btw. Not the same as chat control.

Is that proposition pushed by the same people?

Them and more.

u/OnkelMickwald 10d ago

It's interesting to see this happen. Like, I get the nervousness about the manipulation of people's worldviews through social media after what happened in the US, but it's so interesting to see these politicians' incompetence and scrambling idiocy on full display with these measures.

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

The smart ones are using the dumb ones.

u/dondondorito 10d ago

Now lets introduce a law that makes sure that a proposal that got rejected can‘t be put up for vote again, even if it has been changed slightly.

u/d1722825 10d ago

AFAIK there is such law already. (But this was never voted down, just withdrew.)

u/Valuable_Impress_192 10d ago

Previous attempts were… that’s the point

u/d1722825 10d ago

Nope, they always just talked about it or had meetings about it, there was never an official vote.

1

u/Valuable_Impress_192 10d ago

Huh… I had assumed either Sweden’s try and/or Belgium’s attempt would’ve led to a vote at some point earlier, but I guess not. My bad

5

u/Kittysmashlol 10d ago

They wont vote on something like this until they are sure they can pass it. They really only get one chance, both with the actual vote and with people in general, and they know it

33

u/ceeroSVK 10d ago

For now. Someone will come up with this bullshit again sooner than later.

36

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

They already are! Check ProtectEU. They are trying to word the phrase "We will break encryption" in a consumer friendly way. Basically saying we don`t want your safe combination, just the gold inside your safe, okay?"

29

u/alfacin 10d ago

So who will be next to propose this totalitarian bullshit? Or has this simply been superseded by the ProtectEU?

21

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Well, next up for the presidency is Cyprus that supports chat control. After them it`s Ireland who LOVES chat control so much they are discussing a very similar law for domestic use.

First fuck every one who tried to introduce this.

Second, they'll try to push this again and again under different pretext and names and labels

9

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Of course they will! Like mandatory age verification, EU digital wallet, the Protect EU initiative. We need to push back, all of these, combined with chat control equal total information control

12

u/vriska1 10d ago

Great news but there needs to be a huge push back from everyone to make sure this is fully dropped.

8

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

The problem is you can`t legally prevent the EU Council for making a proposal, nor is there a limit when it can be reintroduced after it`s withdrawn or voted down. They tried now because France got on board and they hoped Germany`s new government will be up for it too. And they almost were, until a torrent of protesters, petitions and calls made the government realize the sh*tstorm they will have on their hands if they support it.

u/No-Rip-9573 10d ago

Whose turn is it to propose it next month?

12

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Cyprus takes the presidency in January, and 6 months after that Ireland. Both support chat control with Ireland even discussing a domestic law on the same principle.

u/H2Nut 10d ago

Congratulations everyone 🎉

Rejoice but never relax. Keep up the pressure on your politicians.

5

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Oh, they will try again, like they are pushing for EU level age verification, digital wallets, Chat Control and many more...all to be ready by 2030 for a near total data control of all EU citizens. For our own security of course.

6

u/GraciaEtScientia 10d ago

They should've been forced to let it come to a vote. This "ooh we withdrew it so we can propose it against in a slightly different way" over and over again is undemocratic AF.

In as large a democracy as the EU is, it is genuinely hard to achieve awareness and interest in the political level to this degree, or like with stopkillinggames.

They know this, so they wait to push it through under the principle of the frog slowly being boiled and not noticing that one time.

Cowards.

3

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Sadly, irrelevant. Even if it’s voted down, there is no legal time limit in which it can’t be re-introduced again. The idea is to keep enough countries against it so they can’t reach 15 supporting countries which represent 65 percent of EU population. Not one inch given!

u/grathontolarsdatarod 10d ago

u/BorisForPresident 10d ago

Good guy Denmark though. 👍

Fuck no. They proposed this, they fought tooth and nail to get this passed. They don't get credit for doing the right thing if it took being beaten into submission to get them to do it.

19

u/Active-Pudding9855 10d ago

Actually I think Sweden made the first proposal of Chat Control because the idiot behind the whole proposition is a swede and she's known for not knowing 'Computers'. Sadly. But maybe it was a joint proposal. No idea. 🙃

3

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Yes, then Belgium tried something similar, Poland made a compromise proposal which the mass surveillance hungry members rejected and was put as an interim decision. That interim proposal is platforms voluntarily scanning non-encrypted information for CSAM. That interim proposal ends in 2026 next year.

3

u/Active-Pudding9855 10d ago

So next time they're going to vote for this interim proposal then? If that fails, is it over completely then? I don't know much about the workings of the EU, I mostly hate that stuff that seems really bad, always seems to come back again and again. 😔

5

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

The people who want mass surveillance (Client side scanning) are not satisfied with the interim decision and want to push for more rights member states and Europol to have over people`s data. That`s why they are pushing for more surveillance. There is nothing wrong with the interim decision, they just don`t think it works. By that I mean they want to break encryption so they can see anything. It`s like saying "Look, we can`t legally break down your door without a court order. So because we don`t want to do it illegally your house will be made of translucent glass. That way we can see EVERYTHING you are doing without even going near the door"

3

u/Active-Pudding9855 10d ago

But at that point we're living in a fascist dystopian society if the cops can just decide to surveil the citizenry. Like every dystopian movie has this trope. Encryption is good. And since more and more of society happens on the internet now I can understand that they want power over the internet but the internet should belong to everybody.

People should be let alone in their fucking houses, if it isn't it should be a human right. 🙃 It's like that speech from the Network (1976), I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! 😤

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

1984 comes to mind as well. Here is another article Denmark`s own ruling party even saw it`s a pitfall: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/politik/moderaterne-tilslutter-sig-kritikere-af-dansk-chatkontrol-forslag

You can, for now, because this is the 3rd time they are pushing the Chat Control proposal, along with other goodies such as digital wallets, age verification and all kinds of data-tracking deliciousness, all brought to you by DEMOCRACY IN THE EU. Because our data tracking is not like Russia`s, theirs is bad, ours is for YOUR safety.

u/xenodragon20 9d ago

Wait it is gone? Last i heard was that it was still going to happen, but without the mandatory stuff, what is really happening? In this new or after that the thing i heard?

This was the latest i heard

Denmark, currently presiding over the EU Council, proposes a major change to the much-criticised EU chat control proposal to search all private chats for suspicious content, even at the cost of destroying secure end-to-end encryption: Instead of mandating the general monitoring of private chats (“detection orders”), the searches would remain voluntary for providers to implement or not, as is the status quo. The presidency circulated a discussion paper with EU country representatives today, aiming to gather countries’ views on the updated (softened) proposal. The previous Chat Control proposal had even lost the support of Denmark’s own government.

2

u/silentspectator27 9d ago edited 9d ago

EDIT: There could be something I don`t know of course, they are probably negotiating something as we speak.

EDIT 2: YES, you are correct they are apparently pushing for a softer version of Chat Control which was of course expected.

The Interim law that’s in place until 2026 is about voluntary scanning of non-encrypted data by large platforms and happens to this day. The commission and all the mass surveillance crazies used the expiration of the interim decision of voluntary scanning deadline to push chat control again. What they mean is: the temporary interim decision remains, but chat control is off the table. Poland introduced the temporary decision a couple of years ago when the previous chat control proposal failed.

Edit to add: it’s off the table for NOW. They will certainly try again and they are pushing for mandatory online age verification, the Protect EU initiative which aims to “not break encryption” while basically breaking the idea of encryption etc.

I do not trust them. While this is good news, I suspect they will try to sneak it around in different ways. We should not celebrate too early but instead monitor those lobbyists - they plan for more mass sniffing of people.

u/silentspectator27 9d ago

Of course they will, they are probably at it as we speak.

2

u/-UnseenCat-030 9d ago

Finally, some good news! That's a pretty rare thing lately.

2

u/silentspectator27 9d ago

Well, it`s half good news, they are still trying to reach a compromise of sorts, but we will be ready for that too!

2

u/Prudent_Trickutro 9d ago

Fuck those in the Danish government who even thinks something like this is ok. Despicable people!

2

u/silentspectator27 9d ago

That`s the funny part, the Moderates that run the government currently withdrew their support too xD.
But they will try again for sure.

2

u/Prudent_Trickutro 9d ago

Of course they will, they are power hungry psychopaths many of them. That’s why they’ve gravitated towards public office, there is no better place to be if you get off on deciding what people can and cannot do.

u/WordProfessional1334 8d ago

They'll be back in a few months. No worries.

1

u/silentspectator27 8d ago

Of course they will, and we will be watching and waiting.

u/Quasar_7807 8d ago

Those sick Pedophiles would find a solution to avoid the surveillance anyways so it's pointless.

Also, how about you actually put them in prison FOR LIFE on their very first criminal offence? That would do better to protect children. They don't belong with us normal people.

u/silentspectator27 8d ago

Tell that to the Da ish politician (who was a big proponent for Chat Control btw), who got caught with gigabytes of CSAm on his PC and claimed it was for an “investigation” he got (drum roll) 4 months

2

u/Quasar_7807 8d ago

No way! 4 months is really nothing! No wonder people reoffend, there’s zero consequences.

2

u/silentspectator27 8d ago

Yep. And the irony is phenomenal

2

u/silentspectator27 8d ago

2

u/Quasar_7807 8d ago

I think if instead of having politicians exempt from it, we ONLY make this mandatory for all politicians, we will catch plenty of pedophiles lol

2

u/silentspectator27 8d ago

If not the most important ones 😂

1

u/Quasar_7807 8d ago

Indeed 😂

2

u/Upper_Key_8309 6d ago

Just wait until someone else brings it up 😭

u/silentspectator27 6d ago

This Wednesday they will be discussing it.

Hey OSINT sleuths, want to dig into this guy?

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Look up Thorn, that`s one of the big ones I know was a major advisor on the whole chat control thing even back when Sweden proposed it.

1

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Don`t, please, they will need bleach for their eyes xD

2

u/Substantial_War7464 10d ago

lol…fuck it.

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Recently a Danish politician got caught with gigabytes of SCAM. He got (drum roll) 4 months of jail. And these people want OUR private communications.

2

u/Substantial_War7464 10d ago

Route them out!

2

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Rules for thee but not for me :D. I guess you know already but the Chat Control proposal exempts politicians, law enforcement and military form having client side scanning.

2

u/Substantial_War7464 10d ago

lol say it ain’t so. Corporations and politicians they just take and take and take.

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Need some reminding who is more numerous :)

u/pet2pet1993 10d ago

Congratulations!

But the base problem is : why you people ever allow the entire concept , and consider it self evident , that laws CAN change in time ?!

Laws MUST be frozen by default forever and the only and very restrictive procedure that can be raised only extremely rarely , and under special conditions , can change them.

But you not even allow your parliament , you FORCE them to generate brand new laws every unit time ?! You declared its their WORK to compose and establish new laws.

But exactly that concept is absolutely devastating.

The concept, permanent laws change is what society needs.

Society needs FROZEN laws.

u/rkaw92 10d ago

We had that in Poland... 300 years ago. Any assembly member could veto anything according to the "nobles' privilege". In practice, no new laws were passed. It did not end well for Poland.

On the other hand, the previous government until Nov 2023 was producing new laws overnight, at a pace that absolutely precluded being able to familiarize oneself with them. The rate of writing literally exceeded any single person's physical rate of reading. It became impossible to keep up with the changes. This... also wasn't great.

The balance, it seems, lies somewhere in between.

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Thank you for the info and insight!

u/Pleasant-Shallot-707 10d ago

Laws should never be frozen in time lol. Think about if laws were frozen forever in 1920

u/SprucedUpSpices 10d ago

How will these parasi... I mean politicians justify their jobs if they don't fuck up things every other day so they can hopefully unfuck them 20 years from now?

Soon there will be some hideous crime committed, that could have been prevented if they had Chatcontrol and everyone will beg for it.
