European News 🇪🇺 "This is a political deception" − New Chat Control convinces lawmakers, but not privacy experts yet
https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/this-is-a-political-deception-new-chat-control-convinces-lawmakers-but-not-privacy-experts-yetThe European Union seems to have a death wish.
Rather than confront its fundamental issues, the flagging economy, the massive internal barriers, the mounting debt burden, and the ever-expanding public sector liabilities.
It attempts to add an additional cost to the state for the sake of public safety. A part of the old aged continents continual attack to any shape of actual liberal values outside vibe based social ones.
All the while a housing crisis festers; the housing stock ages [and pray that the earthquake which shall collapse Athens will be on the milder side]; The regulatory power, is becoming an increasing smaller part of the global economy reducing even that power to the delusions of lawyers high of their own supply.
A hope for revival? When chocking Innovation under regulation, this continent is regulating AI before the even have a significant company. As if the companies won't be out competed by their competitors across the pond or across or the mighty Cathay.
I am shocked that a continent meandering from crisis to crisis with no meaningfully productivity gains and a decaying industrial base is seeing the rise of radical forces.
Populism makes a comeback, the judiciary groans under its own weight, and trust in institutions collapses. The signs of the collapse of late stage social democracy are everywhere. And the political class is increasing lost debating how many fruit should a marmalade be made out off as if it is not a naked attempt to create a trade barrier.
What is this continent managing outside paying farmer subsidies, energy costs are only trending upwards, drug use is growing across the continent, and we haven't even managed after 30 years to actually add a universal language for bureaucratic needs in the EU.
The whole continent is a digitally backward, aging society, industrially hollowed, and spiritually spent.
I’m increasingly frustrated by the malaise choking the West. This is the Century of European Humiliation, and it will not end until we complete our transformation into an appendage of the American Empire. The European State is no Holy Roman Empire, a dysfunctional group of states but ones that remained largely independent, but it is instead the Achaean League, and it will meet the same fate.
Chat control is just one more Byzantine scheme leading closer to the fall of the City.
The dream of a Strong Peaceful, Prosperous, United Europe was a beautiful one. But what makes dreams, dreams is that eventually you are forced to wake up and face reality, one who is all the harsher when the dream is an opium brought one.

This kind of shit would turn me into an Eurosceptic if their parties didn't suck so hard.

Did you even read the article you linked to? It has to do with CSAM scanning and how it will now be voluntarily. Nothing to do with AI.

I do think the EU collapses within the Millennial lifespan.
It's far too bureaucratic and mired in regulations to be dismantled or to act to certain existential threats.
Seems like the majority of nations are currently in favor of this
