This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

C’est peut-être pas la NSA, mais c’est le genre de réponse qui nous envoie dans le mur depuis des années.

« On peut désactiver en cherchant le lien ? Ah bah c’est bon. On peut bloquer ? C’est OK. On peut contourner ? Faisons ça. »

Ma voisine de 60 balais n’ira jamais faire un « opt-out ». Elle cliquera sur “accepter” et sa famille, qui partage la connexion, sera tracée.

20 millions d’utilisateurs en base Utiq en 2024. Combien en 2026 ? Combien verront ton post ?

C’est en fermant les yeux sur ce type de technologie et de pratique qu’on finit par se faire enfler.

« Ah, je comprends pas, je parlais de véranda hier avec mon mec et pouf, des tonnes de pubs 🥲 »

Jusqu’à la prochaine technologie qui fera passer Utiq pour des Bisounours.

Si tu l’acceptes, pas moi.

Le cookie est mort alors ils ont cuisinés une nouvelle merde pour vous traquer 👉

Utiq, c'est un système de tracking qui n'a pas besoin de cookie. Il utilise votre opérateur télécom.

Le site que vous visitez transmet votre IP à Utiq. Utiq la transmet à Orange, SFR ou Bouygues. Votre opérateur crée un identifiant lié à votre numéro de téléphone. Et cet identifiant vous suit sur tous les sites partenaires.

Vider votre cache ne change rien. La navigation privée non plus. C'est cross-plateforme. Votre IP = votre identifiant publicitaire. Formidable.

Derrière Utiq, on trouve Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica et Vodafone. Les opérateurs qui transportent vos données depuis 20 ans viennent de décider qu'ils allaient aussi les monétiser.

C'est présenté comme une alternative "éthique et européenne" aux GAFAM. 😂

Vous échangez Google contre votre opérateur télécom. Qui connaît votre numéro de téléphone, votre adresse, et tout votre trafic réseau.

Cliquez sur Rejeter.

Attention à ne pas cliquer trop vite sur « j’accepte » en pensant que c’est juste une enieme demande de cookies…

@shinfours @ProtonMail They’re still subject to the laws of Switzerland, so if a Swiss court orders them to hand over data they can of course try to fight it (though idk if they did) but in the end if the order is maintained they legally have to comply.

@TRodo92 @Gon_Wild_ @JulienHoez @Renaissance Il le prend pour une insulte parce que visiblement en anglais il fait de la compréhension globale on va dire…

[JT @JTC00KS]

@durov when it's France or Spain, u write an essay of how their governments kill free speach mentioning their leaders etc

when it comes to russia, u never even mention putin, u just type 3 phrases about situation there (and it's much much worse there compared to western eu)

🇺🇸 US: 6,7 homicides per 100k inhabitants

🇫🇷 France: 1,5 homicides per 100k inhabitants

We will continue to watch this case.

[Mepassistant (Quentin) @mepassistants]

So the country that...

*check notes*

- Threatened to invade European territory for a month
- Implied multiple times that it might not support militarily its NATO allies in case of invasion
- Launched a trade war specifically because it was unhappy Americans were buying European products rather than US
- Sabotaged military contracts of European allies (only to fail to deliver on its own promises)
- Has extensive legislation itself mandating US administration to buy American

...is now complaining that Europe dares to prioritize its own industry to reduce its military reliance on a partner that has been less and less behaving like an ally and increasingly as a threat.

Yeah, thanks for your input, we'll put it into our pocket reserved for the very important stuff.

Sovereignty includes the sovereign choice to be strong together. And to be respected for that 🇪🇺

Pavel Durov is from Russia, a country that has banned all Western social media. He lives in the UAE, where freedom of speech is limited and online activity is closely monitored.

Yet he chooses to lecture France about free expression.

Oh the irony.

[🇪🇺 EU Propaganda Account 🇪🇺 @EU_Propaganda]

"France is not a free country"

Says the Russian living in the UAE 🤡🤡

[Embassy of France in the U.S. @franceintheus]

France allows that free speech thingy, but our justice system ensures that actions that are illegal offline in France are also illegal online in France. Let the courts do their job. #NoOneAboveTheLaw

Clarification for non-Europeans:
1/ This is a French judicial procedure, not an EU regulatory action.
2/ Courts act independently from political authority. Judicial independence is enshrined in the Constitution.

[Aurélien @AurelienLux]

@_ChristopherM @adamscochran So really the lack of prosecution and the resulting “impunity” is a result of both repeated refusals to collaborate and procedural failures on the part of the US authorities… (5/5)

[Aurélien @AurelienLux]

@_ChristopherM @adamscochran the US authorities failed to provide sufficient documentation and thus the legal requirements for an extradition weren’t fulfilled. (4/5)
