How the hell did you get 0.5 cars going right on red? Did a car just plow through multiple houses between going straight and turning right at an intersection?

Actual zombies

republic /rɪˈpʌblɪk/ noun a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

from one of those Oxford ones

Also any sort of privacy redirector, specifically to go to nitter instead of xitter, is a must have

Bypass Paywalls Clean is fantastic, need to install from xpi though

sorry, but minor inflation doesn't come across as suffering to me? Not challenging you, but if you can provide me with concrete examples I might just realise how probably stupid I am.

Yeah, they really should pop open one of those dictionaries – if they know what those are – and look at the definition of republic.

As a Hungarian, I must unpolitely ask you to not complain about 3,7% inflation while other places have 16%. To us, the economy of North–West Europe and the US look like absolute miracles.

common EU W

could some of you big brain people try and talk to the idiots who shout "BRÜSSZEL" at every issue here (Hungary)?

because (I firmly believe that) it won't get passed. The Commission doesn't have a majority yet, and it will be laughed out of the EUP. EVEN IF the EUP votes to pass it, the ECJ ought to step in, because the UNCHR and the European Data Protection Supervisor have already said that it goes against the (human(!)) right of privacy. There is no shot that this will get implemented by 27 member states.

In Hungary, this is our finest art.

Fairly fucking sure this is a nothingburger like Art. 13-17 was, and will not break E2EE messengers.

The reason:

Encryption plays an essential role in securing communications. The international human rights law test of legality, necessity and proportionality should be applied to any measures that would affect encryption. Both the UN Commissioner for Human Rights[1]and the European Data Protection Supervisor[2]have concluded that the EU’s proposal for a regulation on child sexual abuse material fails this test[3].

A recent article published by Wired[4]described a European Council survey of Member States’ views on regulating encryption. In its response to the survey, Spain stated that there should be legislation prohibiting EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption.

Requiring platforms and device manufacturers to build back doors to facilitate law enforcement access would make everyone more susceptible to malicious hacking from criminals and foreign adversaries alike[5]. Measures allowing public authorities to access the content of communications affect the essence of the right to privacy.

1.Which encryption experts did the Commission consult when preparing its proposal for a regulation on child sexual abuse material?

2.Will the Commission revise its position on encryption in view of the opinions of human rights associations and experts?

3.Given the abuse of Pegasus, how will the Commission ensure that the fundamental right to privacy is protected if a Member State, such as Spain, decides to ban encryption?

So yeah, it is now established that forcing law enforcement on E2EE messaging services goes against human rights. glhf EUC

Genius.

O God, the hash one isn't bad, just stop there for the sake of all that is holy

I give it a month before either the ECJ steps in or they quietly change the law/interpretation (Article 13/17 says hi)

Pretty sure signal won't be forced to do anything:

this is from May this year, when Spain proposed this. How in the everliving fuck the EU can get away with violating human rights?

So yeah I'll eat my hat unsalted if this actually will break encryption

How bout piaffirmative

This. My national news agency publishes corrections like in ye olden days with ye olde telex: separate issue

example would be:

CORRECTION - President denounces war in Israel

BULLETIN - President denounces war in Isral

listed separately, added in their own archives etc.
