    Never forget that Epstein was talking about fucking children in plaintext on Gmail and they did nothing whenever you see politicians say encryption should be illegal so they can capture criminals.

      If they wanted to do anything about pedophiles, they could.

      Motherless is in the Netherlands, an EU country, right? A website that has hosted child pornography for more than a decade (Amanda Todd killed herself in 2012)? They took it down for a little while after that whole “global network of guys raping their sleeping partners and uploading it” thing earlier this year, but it’s up again. I doubt it would take more than 10 minutes to find illegal content on there right now.

      It’s all a farce. It’s entirely possible to target individuals making and distributing CSAM, but it’s much easier to do nothing and use it as an excuse to spy on citizens.

      I’m only holding out on going KoS on ANY politician because I still need to be alive to do some things.

      I have no ethical or physical issue with grabbing one of them, and dragging them into a bush.

      It’s being scanned by everyone and everything that has access to scan it. Probably your own government too, even if you have laws supposedly prohibiting that.

    here we go once again to being fucking embarrassed to be European.

    the first try of this made me stop voting altogether because all the fucking parties on my country were a YES. Fuck politicians, hope they all get killed.

      As always in these cases… it depends if backdoors will be mandated. Maybe not in the first version… maybe in the cond or third… you need to make people to accept things a bit at the time

        Because they’re trying to suppress the public reaction.

        You won’t hear about this on prime-time TV news, and it’s even censored on some more popular parts of the internet, like Reddit.

    If I ever, ever somehow end up living in a world where it’s not possible to communicate with someone digitally and be completely encrypted, if we get to a point where you MUST put your ID into signal and have the government scan all signal messages, I’ll probably just kill myself.

    And take a few politicians with me at the very least.

    I say, “Arm up and kill authoritarians.” Likelihood is that you’ll also kill lots of pedos at the same time.

      Sure would be nice if we could reform economically instead. Not that I feel bad for the pedos or the tyrants, but a lot of other people will have a very bad time if shit really hits the fan without some sort of economic plan in place.

          Can you educate me about anarchists a bit? When you say survival systems, do you mean social systems? Also does anarchism intersect with libertarianism at all?

          The reason I ask is that I am building those systems, specifically server software intended to allow groups of people to found their own cooperatives as economic survival mechanisms. It’s a form of democratic socialism, so I don’t know how that squares with your world view.

          I suppose if you wanted privacy and decoupling from the dollar you could deal in monero instead, as it will have currency support. I just worry about the power consumption with crypto.

          • do they interact with libertarians

            Only when they have kids they need to protect

            what do they do

            Nothing, they mostly don’t exist

            survival projects, like keeping track of who owns what

            Oh my god watching you die is gonna be so fucking funny. I meant like making food and medicine in actual reality so people don’t physically die when systems currently doing this break down.

              You do realize that without a social structure someone will just come take your food and medicine away from you, right?

              But hey, I guess didn’t really expect someone espousing anarchy to want to learn anyway.

              Good luck friend.

                Are they hungry/dying of not having medicine? If so; mission accomplished. Do they want me to keep making more?

                You’re right though; what’s important and resilient in the face of social collapse is a block chain based ordering of who owns what.

                  Not sure why you’re such a hostile person. In fact I think it’s great that you know how to make medicine. I think it would be better if you had a lab and a team to work with, but I suppose we just think differently.

      But what would be the point? Nobody’s doing anything about the high-profile pedophiles we already know. And kids have a bunch of other more common needs that are being conveniently ignored. The maths ain’t mathing

          “Punish one, educate hundreds” (Mao i guess?)

          Throw the book against a couple of cases where encrypted messaging is involved and tell the public “We don’t know what they wrote… COULD BE $DISGUSTING_CONTENT…”
