This is an approximate description of what it looks like from my side -> You were given comfort by the system as long as it was useful, but now that your comfort has become a burden, the system throws you out into the trash.

    Dunno about you, but my opinion has recently helped to successfully repel mass surveillance for my country and others. The fight is not over yet, but this battle was won.

      I was also spamming Hungarian MEPs for what good it did.

      I feel like this and SKG were both nice “come together” activism moments for the EU nerd community. And while SKG was important as well, Chat Control was really an “end of democracy” moment and I love that we the people could shine the light on it so hard that it got abandoned until next time.

      Well, some countries are already doing this. I’ve heard rumors of underground social networks where complete anonymity is maintained. That is, your account isn’t linked to your email address or identity. They even have their own money and cryptocurrency.

        Like Liberland? I’m always a bit weary as they like always seems to be sort of far rightish. Very interesting though, it’s not like they’re going away anytime soon at least that’s my opinion.
