this is the real thing, this is almost certainly unconstitutional.

greedy corps going against law as usual.

I'm totally with you, I would also add that recently meta said that they wanted to add facial recognition to their "smart" glasses.

they said that "We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns"

I was waiting for this move, it was the final straw. now I'm here, happily writing a comment in the fediverse through blorp (foss).

So this war is far from an end huh?

PLEASE

hopefully no. but we are still in danger

I think that Patrick posted it. basically the ones against where the conservatives, both left and right where against (even if there were some people inside those parities who voted to continue the scanning)

EDIT: apparently EPP voted against not because they want to support privacy but because the proposal was not enough invasive. they were afraid that it would have stopped their Chat control 2.0 proposal.

you can pay for proton via cash in mailbox (sending cash to their address with account details)

not enough, where is life sentence when needed?

i don't understand, was EPP for or against the extension ? Cause my understanding was that they asked to have a second vote even if the first one already rejected the extension.

hey, nice to meet you here! I was wondering if it's a problem that only I have or if it's still in development but I have issues playing videos inside blorp. Could you please help? I really like blorp's UI and I don't want to change.

sorry I was mislead due to the results, apparently EPP voted against cause it was not ENOUGH invasive. I will edit it now.

for example, I tried to play this video but it didn't work.

not sure if the problem is on my side or not.

EDIT: I forgot to thank you for your help and time, it's nice to see devs so dedicated to their projects 

THANKS, I'll update as soon as possible.

actually it didn't passed.

as another comment said, EPP was against this proposal due to it being not strict enough. They want full control of your chat (e2ee ones too). they were afraid that this would set a precedent for limits for chat control and voted againts

it was about time

and unfortunately they have a lotbof power
