I have to Laugh out loud.
What a question. Who in their right minds would say, "Yes, please! I want to have my communications surveilled like a nosy parent would but also have the force of the law behind it to punish me."
What's the next question? Would you like to pay more in taxes and you have no say on how it gets spent?
- dtx1 4y agoI know that in britain many people want for example more CCTV Cameras.
- pmontra 4y agoI guess that they don't want police operated CCTV cameras inside their homes.

Then we need to get control over our data and how it is being used. My ray of hope: an air-gapped beefy desktop that runs generative text and image models, plus a large disk filled with cached content. You can do anything in total privacy as long as it doesn't connect outside.

I want to have my communications surveilled like a nosy parent would but also have the force of the law behind it to punish me." I mean, if we take your question seriously, perhaps up to 34% of those surveyed... >66% of respondents don’t approve of internet providers monitoring their digital communication for suspicious content
- skrebbel 4y agoYet, a large % of EU lawmakers appears to think that the people want this, and are supporting a law that makes it reality. Sure, some of them are authoritarians who simply want unchecked power, but it’s too cynical to assume that this holds for most. Many more are old, well-meaning people who are at least slightly afraid of computers and want to help Protect The Children. Showing them that, in fact, The Children themselves aren’t on board with this seems like a decent play to me.

They do. > Many more are old, well-meaning people who are at least slightly afraid of computers They are literally of the generation that invented computing and the internet. > The Children themselves aren’t on board with this seems like a decent play to me. Children are children, they don't know what they want and what they are doing. They are giving away tons of their personal data, pictures (including very private ones), messages (including very private ones), personal preferences (including very private ones, like political preferences, sexual preferences etc.) to TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and most of all Google and Apple, but yeah, the problem is the people elected to vote on some legislation that might create mild annoyances to the richest corporations history has ever seen.

- dfxm12 4y agoSome of these teens will be allowed to vote soon. Of course they say this in a survey response about a single issue. But, how will the person they eventually vote for feel about this issue? Will any current politicians take into account the will of their young constiuents? It's always fascinating to me how what people say is important to them doesn't necessarily inform who they vote for, or how politicians may simply ignore the will of the people. Unfortunately, for too many people it seems like politics is based purely on vibes.
