People are starting to realise that the biggest survilliance state in the world is the US.

And they want you to think it’s China or Russia to deflect attention.

Long time ago that was true.

Still doesnt mean that they built this well enough yet, but they are building alot of things that actually works right now.

The price hikes where neccesarry for sure then…

Fuck big corps.

Fuck that guy for saying that. Just asked for 1trillion dollars at Tesla, and now he wants to sell you a dream that money is irrelevant.

Money is his only power. No way.

If only there was a way to fund open source projects so we both could have better software for the world and paid employees…

I think you can guess which government body already do this. Just take a shot.

I’m talking about all the opinions already made up, that EU wanted to take away encryption and give us chat control.

They didnt want that.

It’s like saying Denmark wants to throw out all immigrants, just because a small minority is proposing it. They dont.

Democracy is just great for media outlets, because they can bandwagon stupid proposals.

It’s not that dumb. There’s a market for this, if you want it or not.

And if you’re going to use crypto, it’s better they use a currency that’s not tied to the currency of an unstable country.

Also, the EU is looking to make a digital Euro anyway, which will not be a crypto coin as you know it, but a way to take power away from VISA and Mastercard, which will save European countries for billions each year.

Fire, electricty, gravity and magnetism is magic, and you cant convince me otherwise.

Yeah, just as they promised. For every fee they up the numbers. This time they are also ready to do more than hurting their wallets directly, which is much more interesting.

Otherwise Google will just treat is as a cost of doing business.

Even though it would be better for the world if everyone blocked that shit (maybe except YouTube, as it got its use cases), but they blocked it for all the wrong reasons.

They dont give a shit about well-being or standing up to big tech. They just want all ideas of an opposition to dissapear.

They are silencing free speech - at least that’s the goal.

We are talking about your post about stable coins. Then we imagine how it could be done with the information you provide.

Also, the EU is making a digital Euro. Might be on the blockchain also, might not, but it’s an option still.

Search for it and read about it, if you want to know more. There’s some official sources.

True, but only if the provider is a private company - which is batshit crazy.

If it is on the national bank to provide this service, we would actually get more transparency than today.

Money is already being printed all the time, but with stable coins on a blockchain, we would always know the circulation number.

Hopefully, in the EU at least, the verification will be provided by the government. Like a 2FA, meaning Big Tech would only get a verified token and nothing else.

The government already got passports with our face, and have had it for many years. They could use that information.

That would mean that any platform could implement this verification, and never get hold on any data.

Best case in a shitty scenario, I know.

Yeah… You do it, but do you think the UK government does?

Holy shit, the quote is wild!

At this stage, it appears that the only way for Google to end its conflict of interest effectively is with a structural remedy, such as selling some part of its Adtech business.

EU is smoking Google, rightfully so. Third time they get a fine for this, so now its gloves off.

Automation was never about safety in the first place.

It will probably be for the rest of the world.

EU devices not effected.

Since Wall Street, never really was.

Literallt extortion.

The age of information is in the past.
