Dus de mobieltjes van asielzoekers mogen we niet inkijken om vast te stellen wie ze zijn, waar ze vandaan komen en of ze misschien een strafblad hebben. Maar de mobieltjes van de mensen die het hele circus betalen worden 24/7 gecontroleerd "om de kinderen te beschermen" 🤡🤡🤡
EU ist, wenn ich jedes depperte Cookie von jeder random Website, die ich aufrufe, mit zehn Seiten Kleingedrucktem bestätigen muss,
gleichzeitig aber meine privaten Chats anlasslos durchleuchtet werden.
F*ck you, Big Brother.
The amount of explaining (aka gaslighting) won't make you look any better. I truly believed in you, and you have betrayed the trust. You might think it's the right thing to do, but the trick used to vote this was absolutely anti-democratic. You can't take that back; the damage is done.
I think Singapore needs to bring back a strong national media like MediaCorp Channel 8.
Before personalised timelines, Singaporeans grew up with the same cultural references. We had something in common. & MediaCorp gave us a shared routine. 6-7pm dinner, watch TV. It was a collective experience. After 12pm no good show, everyone forced to sleep.
Now, with TikTok, Singaporeans are just strangers doomscrolling through completely different worlds. All hooked on digital opium.
TikTok & Instagram have made billions by infiltrating our society at the cost of eroding our shared experience.
Why are we letting foreign entities decide what Singaporeans watch & grow up with?
If culture matters, then we should try to revive our entertainment industry.
Otherwise, we’re just 6 million people sharing an island, but no longer sharing a culture.
Chat Control 1 is back. Despite the European Parliament voting down the legislation twice this year, the Council of the European Union and parts of the Parliament today managed – through an urgent procedure – to extend it for another two years. The law was originally introduced as temporary legislation, so that its effectiveness could be evaluated. At the end of 2025, the European Commission itself concluded that it was not possible to determine whether the law had any measurable effect. Even so, it has now been pushed through.
Some of today's amendments could have stopped the law. And a majority of the voting MEPs wanted to do so. By a margin of 314-276, the Parliament voted to reject the proposal through these amendments. However, since it was an urgent procedure, 361 votes were required. As a result, the majority lost today and Chat Control 1 was passed. The urgent procedure was a dirty play by the Council and parts of the Parliament – it’s a procedure not meant to be used on legislation already rejected by the Parliament.
For now, Chat Control 1 will remain in effect. This means that tech companies may continue scanning communications without a warrant or suspicion.
However, the real battle is Chat Control 2. Unlike Chat Control 1, it would require all providers to scan communications, and to do so far more extensively than Chat Control 1 ever has.
There's some great young talent to be found around #Thailand, busking at markets or in other public places.
16-year-old Nene Royal from Phuket knocks it out of the park at ‘America’s Got Talent’. The judges and audience love it. Next round.
🚨⏳ Time is running out: MEPs are voting tomorrow on Chat Control - DO NOT let this attempt to bypass Parliament’s democratic decision pass. 🚨⏳
Please call your MEPs & demand a NO on urgency procedure.
Let's continue to fight for our right to privacy & SAY NO to surveillance.

Tomorrow I will speak against Chat Control!
The European Parliament already rejected mass scanning of private messages, but now some want to bring it back through the back door. We should protect children by catching predators, giving them tough sentences and strengthening law enforcement, not by treating millions of innocent citizens like suspects.
Real child protection targets criminals, not everyone. @ESNgroup_EU

🚨 ChatControl is part of the EU’s Digital Prison where elites want to lock in all 450 million EU citizens by abusing “child protection” as a pretext.
This is a false argument, and everyone knows it.
There is no democracy without privacy.
We should not be ruled by Brussels bureaucrats. We pay them to work for us, not spy on us.

L’UE envisage de contourner son propre Parlement pour scanner vos messages privés !
En mars 2026, le Parlement a rejeté la prolongation du « Chat Control 1.0 ». Le texte a expiré le 4 avril.
Le 26 juin, le Conseil a pourtant décidé de relancer un texte quasi identique, présenté comme « nouveau », pour autoriser le scan jusqu’en avril 2028.
C’est du pur contournement institutionnel : pas de nouveau débat complet, pas d’avis du Contrôleur européen de la protection des données.
Le client-side scanning analyse tout sur votre téléphone avant chiffrement. WhatsApp, Signal… vos conversations ne seront plus privées.
Pour le PLIB, c’est clair : l’État n’a pas le droit de violer la vie privée de tous au prétexte de protéger quelques-uns. La fin ne justifie jamais les moyens.
La vraie protection des enfants passe par des enquêtes ciblées avec mandat judiciaire, pas par la surveillance généralisée.
Non au pouvoir arbitraire. Oui à la vie privée et au chiffrement !
