EDIT1: Politicians expect to be be exempt.
EDIT2: Good news: Vote has been postponed due to disagreements.
They start with CSAM, move to copyright infringement, and end at censorship of those with opposing views.
Once such laws and mechanisms are in place all it takes is the
rightwrong leadership to take it all away to keep us safe.Once this has been implemented, something worse can be implemented.
I don’t like these slippery slope arguments. You might as well reduce it to any legislation.
Once people are allowed to make laws, bad people can make bad laws.
Which is why we must continue to vote in the right people, not abandon the concept of laws.In this case, I don’t doubt that copyright infringement and general censorship are on some people’s agenda.
But this current proposal is bad enough itself and should be opposed because of that and not because someone might make other, even worse proposals in the future.
Good advise.
Right, you should see this article too about the upcoming vote (https://lemmy.ml/post/17004141)
PS: Thanks you to have republished my post
News today: vote has been postponed.
Good news
And good news in Australia (despite the disingenuous headline).
But the Australian eSafety Commissioner isn’t giving up her “won’t someone think of the children” rhetoric.
EU lawmakers are utter rubbish. Cookie consent spam?? Paper straws and ear sticks?? Non-removable bottle caps?? Invasive KYC laws?? Banning ‘foreign propaganda’ through DNS blacklist?? Propping up failed projects like the ukromaidan regime?? What. The. Hell. They just spam our countries with the worst stupidity they can come up with, all the while infringing upon our rights and wellbeing.
I voted against joining EU 20 years ago. I guess I was right about that, unfortunately…
