- anonzzzies 3y agoBut similar initiatives will appear everywhere in the end once they land somewhere (outside openly totalitarian regimes where they are already in place, like China). They have to be stopped, but I am afraid they will happen in the end, everywhere; once they happen in some western countries, others will have the blueprint to copy to theirs. And citizens everywhere are being lied to; most non tech (but also tech) people think this is a good thing. Friends in the US, UK and AU are applauding this type of stuff coming to their countries. Because of the children. Unfortunately no one takes it serious enough to take massive ad and tv campaigns to member states and educate the public that this is simply bad for everyone and doesn’t help the children.

The EU allegedly has fact checkers, but they are a joke as otherwise they would flag publications of the commission left and right. To be honest, I don't see the EU as a public good anymore. For a while already. It has degenerated to into a bureaucratic technocracy. Before anyone tries to mention that I can vote for parliament and one of the council members and everything is super dandy,... I know and that doesn't make anything any better. Democracy is so indirect that we can do away with it completely in the current implementation. We will get bombed with such bills until something sticks. This isn't anything I will support.
