Don't worry, nobody wants to attend your failing kleptocracy.

America, you need to sort your shit out yesterday.

Guaranteed this is the next move they'll try in Australia too.

What a brilliant plan! Nobody could have seen this coming!

God I'm sick of the constant attacks against online freedom.

God forbid anyone should ever have a private conversation.

As a child I had unlimited time to work out how to access stuff that interested me, a lot of which was forbidden in some way, because that's the most interesting stuff!

In the process I learned about computers and eventually got a modem to access BBSes. It was exhilarating! I would have spent any amount of effort and time to access it.

I basically attribute my entire career to accessing stuff the puritans would have tried to prevent me from accessing.

Also, almost all of the porn I have came from private trackers.

I very much doubt they will be concerned with any of these rules. Things will just move more underground if that happens. And the more underground you go, the more unsavory stuff you might find.

But we all know this isn't actually about protecting children.

In a way, I hope that it ends up being a good thing because the whole clearnet should probably be nuked from orbit.

Us nerds can come up with something better. Federated, encrypted, anonymous and unblockable. It's just the spam problem that is the hard thing to solve. Maybe reputation with proof of work could work.

I'll happily leave the normies to their milquetoast, corporate, manipulated existence.

What do you think is stopping them from snooping regardless?

I'm 100% convinced that the UN was under attack...

But I'm very surprised there wasn't a copy of Sims 3 visible.

How many surveillance cameras does your government operate again?

How much do you trust your current government with the extensive surveillance apparatus they have created?

How much do you trust the next government?

What about the government after that?

It's interesting that you recognize that the oval office is where you go to make an agreement with Russia.

He hadn't agreed to anything. This was obviously a Trump ambush for "good TV".

Yes sir, I'm very sorry sir I didn't wear a nice suit when my people are being murdered.

Oops, I mean de-nazified sir.

Just tell me where I will sign to give up our natural resources for zero security guarantees.

The absolute weakest third-rate crybully with no conscience or morals. An empty vessel. A disgrace.

None of that is true.

You make the mistake of assuming they're doing this in good faith.

I'm in Australia and we're going to have the same problem with our under-16 social media ban.

There's privacy-preserving ways to do it, but they definitely won't use them.

Here in Australia we have a line you can call, I think it was started during covid.

No idea how useful it'd be for non-covid calls though. Probably not very.

All that illegal wiretapping has to be analyzed somehow!

Interesting.

We didn't ask for anyone to call the ambulance, although personally I am happy that it was called and she was checked out.
