A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Under the slogan ‘Think of the children’, the European Commission tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens. When the scandal was revealed, it turned out that American tech companies and security services had been involved in the bill, generally known as ‘Chat Control’ – and that the whole thing had been directed by completely different interests.

Nothing and I mean nothing will kill this faster than some leaked chats, emails, and browsing history of a few politicians.

I thought the EU has been pretty good on privacy so far. Of course the US is trying to duck it up.

The EU has been good on privacy against other actors. The EU is very bad when it comes to personal privacy from its constituent governments.
