Good news, everyone
The European Parliament has decided that the government, and large tech companies, are responsible for baby sitting YOUR children.
They have voted to work on legislation which makes social media platforms such as TikTok, X, and Meta (Facebook, Instagram, etc) liable for individuals under the age of 16 to be on their platforms. Hence, they must (in some capacity) perform age verification.
This is great news. I'm sure many of you are excited to present your official government identification to people like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, or whoever the fuck owns TikTok (Larry Ellison, the Chinese government, I don't know anymore).
The government and large tech companies know what's best for you and your family. Not you.
🇪🇺 Telegram sent this message to all its users in France regarding Chat Control. People must know the names of those who try to steal their freedoms:
Today, the European Union nearly banned your right to privacy. It was set to vote on a law that would force apps to scan every private message, turning everyone’s phone into a spying tool.
France led the push for this authoritarian law. Both former and current Interior Ministers, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuñez, supported it. Last March, they declared that police should see French citizens’ private messages. The Republicans and Macron’s Renaissance group voted for it.
Such measures are supposed to “fight crime”, but their real target is regular people. It wouldn’t stop criminals — they could just use VPNs or special websites to hide. Officials’ and police messages wouldn’t be scanned either, since the law conveniently exempts them from surveillance. Only YOU — ordinary citizens — would face the danger of your private messages and photos being compromised.
Today, we defended privacy: Germany’s sudden stand saved our rights. But freedoms are still threatened. While French leaders push for total access to private messages, the basic rights of French people — and all Europeans — remain in danger.
Meet Valentin Lopez the worlds most heartless scammer who drained $32,000 that was going to be used for a cancer patient's treatment
His days are now running out. He is an Argentine immigrant livining in Miami. He has just been reported to ICE.
1. @rastalandTV (pumpfun stage 4 cancer streamer) downloaded a steam game and was drained for $32,000 by some malicious malware
2. @ZssBecker donates $30,000 to him while people reverse engineer tracing it back to Valentin Lopez. Tik Tok name : “ getrradyWWW “
This pig deserves to rot in prison. It’s one thing to scam, but it’s another to do it to someone who has stage 4 cancer
Stay strong @rastalandTV. You got this king

The Bank of Internal Settlements (BIS) wants to start marking bitcoins.
The central bank of central banks is essentially proposing to create a grading system from 0 to 100 for each satoshi, based on transaction history.
If the score is low, companies and even users could refuse to accept that bitcoin, claiming it would be "tainted" by links to illicit activities.
If this were implemented globally, it could create a parallel market where "clean" bitcoins would have different values than "marked" bitcoins.
How about you grade deez nuts?
