Something the HN discussion on this topic just like the UK online safety act seems to ignore is that this kind of legislation has broad support among voters.
I'd say in general people are more concerned about The Bad People than about privacy. Probably because they mostly trust their governments, certainly more than they trust Big Tech.
- wqaatwt 1y agoMost voters (in EU’s case anyway) are neither aware nor understand what is this all about. If you told are random person that the government will be able to freely access and read all of your private comment I bet they wouldn’t be too excited about it. Unfortunately only a tiny minority are even aware this is happening..

- raxxorraxor 1y agoBig tech and government is a false dichotomy though and these people are idiots. That is why we have right enshrined, for example that surveillance is prohibited. And gladly Telegram does not cooperate. That is a feature.
