STASI enters the chat.

They won't.

If you're a citizen of an EU country, you should contact your politicians to tell them not to, maybe they won't.

It only has to pass once, and they keep trying.

So, need a non-homicidal, non-EU country to run an XMPP server then...

With SKG going as well as it is, wouldn't an ECI on chat control be in order?

Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous.

Hey at least Stasi only spied on people they suspected.

That's due to the limitation at the time.

Some keep trying. That's how democracy and politics works in general.

So Canada?

(They do have a history of going a little overboard with the homicidal stuff. But they've come a long way in the last few decades.)

Keep them informed, of course they care about your opinion, especially seeing how anyplace else in the world where such things were introduced there were successful revolutions and people doing that ended up in jail. Oops.

Nah, a logical OR in their favor is not how democracy should work.

Their kind never leaves the chat, it's a professional habit

Yeah. "EU wants this, EU wants that" - bullshit, the EU has no will of its own. A set of politicians within the EU, on the other hand.

Compelling search engines to deindex results, age verification, chat monitoring: stay golden, EU.

Many people in the US thought “He won’t”

So, call your representatives.

or run one by yourself?

Ugh, this shit again...

Are there any initiatives out there to call a stop to this? Or even better, initiatives to introduce legislation that forbids setting up this kind of surveillance infrastructure altogether?

Welcome to earth, Everybody Sucks Here.
