    Sure, if all politicians make all their data available to the public. Their phone chat messages, photos taken, everything.

    No…? Then don’t bring it up ever again. Initiatives like these will only make it look like you’re a villain if you want privacy.

        “Turns out we need to install a government issued CCTV camera in your bathroom, bedroom, every room of your house… otherwise how do we know you’re not diddling kids in there”

        Meanwhile Epstein didn’t kill himself, and most of his friends were our current political class, and the oligarchs who own them.

    It’s kind of infuriating how the EU can make some of the most incredible rules that actually benefit society, and at the same time make the worst possible decisions in other areas. 😮‍💨

    I’m sure we can trust the police to be responsible with this power… https://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/news/2025/04/former-police-officer-sentenced-after-admitting-stalking-charge/

      In Poland we can’t even trust the police to be responsible for their own safety (a officer used a grande launcher in his office), or even the millitary to handle logistics (landmines got delivered to ikea)

        Amazing level of incompetence, the launcher thing.

        Unpack, assemble, load, disengage safety, fire…

        If it was stored loaded I guess half the incompetence is on the next guy.

          I remember hearing the officier in question ‘thought it was a blutooth speaker’ but it might have been just a rumor or I’m remembering wrong (I hope so atleast)

      Why this much hassle if they can simply confiscate every electronic item in your house?

    They probably want to start introducing an encryption called “AES-lawful”, which is SUPER SAFE (but law enforcement has access of course…).

    Well, as long as other algorithms are not forbidden, I will continue using them.

    When it comes to chat control, we will have to setup own matrix servers (or something similar).

    This whole “Going dark”-thing is bullshit.

    How many times did they try to do this now?

    It kind of feels like a kids cartoon now, where the bad guys constantly fail every episode.

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
