@FrenchResponse I didn't expect you to justify a vulgar trick towards the EU parliament. It was rejected twice. Just abolish the parlament then.
No is no.
Anyway, what is the error rate of this kind of solutions? Just one question.
mass surveillance is coming
> first 5 votes fail
> have another vote
> invoke technicality to require majority to vote AGAINST rather than requiring majority to vote FOR
> do it when everyone's on vacation so not enough numbers to vote against

The vote is over — and on paper, we lost. Chat Control 1.0 is reinstated until April 2028.
But look at how it passed: with just 314 votes in a 720-seat Parliament — because the EPP’s second-reading trick meant opponents needed 361 to stop it. The bar to block it was set higher than the bar to pass it.
It carried on the last day before summer recess, with barely 600 of 720 MEPs in the room. What Parliament rejected in March passed today — on an empty chamber and a procedural tilt. That should trouble anyone who cares about how democracy works, not just about privacy.
What this means in practice: US tech companies are again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion — direct messages on Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype and Xbox, and emails via Gmail and iCloud.
The real fight now moves to September, when Chat Control 2.0 — the permanent regulation that reaches into end-to-end encryption — returns to negotiation.
Bad take.
The EU should stand for privacy, like it has always done. It's one of the defining values of the modern EU.
Protecting children can happen without blanket mass surveillance, experts have said these measures are ineffective and a breach of privacy.
@ItalianoRagazzo@judgemasa@IstLiberale Su, sto robo è un obbrobrio anche tecnicamente. L'AI Act lo considererebbe tra i rischi inaccettabili (ed è sempre EU). Non dobbiamo necessariamente essere ingenui.
Oltretutto con tutto quello che la dannata EU dovrebbe sistemare (fiscalità per le imprese? Butto lì)...
@p1ayintraffic@Pirat_Nation Dunno. I bought something like 4 games this year. 1 was available digital only. The other three are on disc (new and used). I wonder if they consider, in their metrics, "bought" a game just because I download them through Ps+. In my case it'd change from 0% to 90% digital or so.
This xkcd, written Aug 2018, accurately represented the professional consensus about the state of computer security, as a field. The state of the field has not changed much since then.
Claude Mythos and GPT-5.6 pose a problem mainly because this is the world they showed up to.
