@midgetlabubu@cody_1917@HakureiRyan@AviFax94589@_britmonkey North Korean Data is worthless, same as data on Chinese citizens would be worthless to Google. The only Google thing that works is the Google Ads platform for buying Ads outside of China.
@cody_1917@HakureiRyan@AviFax94589@_britmonkey The general population has no internet access. They have their forked Android that runs entirely on their intranet. The internet connectivity they do have are some infrastructure servers in China.
When Google has no data, they just makes it up.
@bcbuckeye@nicksortor@heatedreports@TonyLaneNV@JessCAGrl4Life5@grok No. AI upscaling doesn't recover missing details from the original file. It invents fake ones based on patterns it learned during training. So, no, we absolutely shouldn't use AI "upscaling" beyond a marketing buzzword.

@JoshuaKhane Happened to my kids account last year. Got compromised, they acknowledged it was compromised even though we had a passkey on it, and then they proceeded to ban the entire account forever.
All games, all progress, all his school stuff and purchases gone.
@EU_Justice You might be failing at being democratic if you have to remind us of the fact every day on multiple channels.
Because we aren't feeling all that democratic in recent years anyway.
"EU lawmakers back reinstating interim rules to allow Big Tech to surveil 450 Million EU citizens on their behalf." There fixed it for you @Reuters#chatcontrol
The EU Chat Control isn't going to solve the issue of child exploitation, it's a pretense to restrict speech.
The European Parliament voted AGAINST Chat Control. 314 to 276.
And it passed anyway.
Let me tell you how: they needed 361 votes to say no. On the last day before vacation. Every empty seat counted as a yes.
They lost the vote. They won the law.
That’s not democracy. That’s a trick. #ChatControl
@bgroothuis@NXT4EU Typical Brussels bureaucrat speak. It doesn't matter what it says on paper, it's about what it represents and if something is representing authoritarianism and control and you don't vote against it then you're a traitor in my eyes. No matter if there is 1 or 10 versions.
🚨 #ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨
After the EU parliament has rejected #ChatControl TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. TODAY the EU parliament has voted YES for #ChatControl 1.0😡
The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start. This is not democratic‼️
What does #ChatControl 1.0 mean for us now?
🚩 Every photo, every message, every file you send will be scanned by Big Tech automatically
🚩 Mass surveillance of 450 million EU citizen without warrants
🚩 Every citizen is put under general suspicion
Here's what you can do to stay private on the internet:
✅ Use end-to-end encrypted messengers & email (like Signal or Tuta Mail)
✅ Use Linux instead of Windows & Apple
✅ Switch to GraphenOS or LineageOS
It's a sad day for the privacy of EU citizens but we will not let this stop us from continuing to fight for what is right.
At Tuta, we will continue to provide end-to-end encrypted email to everyone, and we will continue to fight for everyone's right to communicate without surveillance.

@EPPGroup Seriously, you double down on this bullshit?
Abuse resulting from online stranger grooming is a small single-digit percentage of all child abuse cases.
You're parading someone who's family and the system failed to gaslight us into accepting your authoritarian invasion?
🚨 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.

Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen.
Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort.
Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht)
Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar."
Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen.
Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley!
Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!
The @EPPGroup has betrayed the European people. They're lying for a goal they don't understand and advocating for consequences they don't have to live with. #ChatControl is a crime against the people, an invasion of privacy and freedom that was previously unthinkable in the EU.
I wholeheartedly hope that this be the beginning of the end of the @EPPGroup
You can still redeem yourselves by voting against the unnecessary invasion of peoples privacy, but if this is the hill you want to die on so be it.
90% of online child sexual abuse was found because platforms detected it. Now, they no longer can.
🚨 Since 3 April, there has been a major legal gap in protecting children from online sexual abuse.
‼️ We cannot accept this legal vacuum.
‼️ We cannot let child abuse material go unnoticed and unreported, day after day.
‼️ Closing the legal gap is urgent!
⁉️ DO YOU SUPPORT THIS URGENCY TO PROTECT CHILDREN?
‼️ Protect children, not predators.
@EPPGroup Children who are online aren't the platforms responsibility, it's the parents responsibility, parental controls are great and exist for a reason.
Just because the EU is an adult daycare for failed politicians, doesn't mean that the internet has to become one for the kids.
🚨⏳ 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.
