- thbb123 1y agoHow comes US celebrities have to create their foundation in Sweden instead of the US?
- lukan 1y ago"As of July 2013, Thorn is in talks with leading internet companies (Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Twitter and at least three others) to collaborate on creating a database of millions of child abuse images on the web." So if one messed up person likes that stuff, I guess they might aim towards working there?
- croes 1y agoWouldn‘t be the first time something like this happens
- PeterStuer 1y agoDSA was pushed by the very controversial Thierry Breton, former CEO of Atos, then European commissioner for the internal market, now on the advisory council of Bank of America. Atos btw is the company that leads in receiving money to construct Europe's virtual security infrastructure. But the proposal was ultimately supported by a substantial majority in parliament, led by the christians, socialists. liberals and greens. https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/139040 https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/139040
- sunshine-o 1y ago> DSA was pushed by the very controversial Thierry Breton, former CEO of Atos It's a clown show, that "French Big Tech company" Atos stock price went from 10000 to 40 euros in 25 years [0] and is now being sold into pieces because it has 5B debt [1] and is hopeless . I heard him talk once on youtube he is a total moron. > Atos btw is the company that leads in receiving money to construct Europe's virtual security infrastructure. Great if those type of people are in charge there is nothing to worry about. The only downside is the Internet might get slower in Europe. At the end EU citizen might just be told to put the EU in CC of every messages you send, invited to every chat group, and tagged on every social media posts. If you don't you go to prison. I mean during Covid the french gov mandated them to print and fill a new form every time they took their dog out to pee. So that is not far fetch. - [0] https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ATO.PA/ https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ATO.PA/ - [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atos#Financial_difficulties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atos#Financial_difficulties
- tucnak 1y agoThey say it's the Swedes, but that's not accurate. Thorn is a NSA-run charity that has been lobbying for this since 2012.
- pqtyw 1y ago> They say it's the Swedes, but that's not accurate Yes because its Denmark, other countries are mainly just tagging along. I mean we can and should blame lobbyists and such as well but 90% of the problem are the politicians and bureaucrats and the politicians listening to them.
- vaylian 1y agoInteresting. Do you have a source for the connection between the NSA and Thorn?
- tucnak 1y agoIts board, as well as boards of the related orgs, is crawling with ex-State guys, even some CIA assets (most recently Fernando Ruiz Perez) etc. They're in bed with WeProtect (State Dept) as well as McCain Institute guys. The connection is not obvious, but see this as starting point https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the-eus-fight-over-scanning-for-child-sex-content/ https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the... https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/270943677 https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/270... What's telling is the fact that they never targeted the U.S. and U.S. policy-makers EVER, despite being mostly Washington guys with lended tech credibility of SF VC's.
