Or it will get a new name. Just like „Chat Control“ is far from the first name for this BS.

- integralid 7mo agowe can learn from our American friends and call it something like CHILDREN SAFETY ACT. So you want to hurt children, huh? I hope not
- latexr 7mo agoThat’s already (kind of) the name it has. “Chat Control” is a name given by critics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chat_Control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chat_Control
- saidnooneever 7mo agothis is litterally what they do. point at opposition and try to imply they are pro child abuse. actually really sick to use such a method. I suppose that is what u get for decades long degradation of education and other things. A bunch of childish freaks in power who can only try to chuck eachother under the bus instead of doing something actually good. they care less and less about it being obvious too. our new prime minister (NL) was asked about some campaign promises recently (ones important to a lot of his voters actually) and he justs plainly said somethin like: yeah well sometimes u just gotta say shit to get votes. i mean, its not news ofc... but now they dont even care to mask it. They know the public will just bend over and take it anyway.
- zamalek 7mo agoDon't forget the pointless backronym.

- Hamuko 7mo agoIt's not named "Chat Control". It's just what it's commonly known by. It's basically the same as "Obamacare".
- latexr 7mo agoExactly. Its real name is “Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chat_Control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chat_Control
- wongarsu 7mo agoPerfect name. Who in their right mind would ever vote against the Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse? Imagine if your voters heard that
- nazgulsenpai 7mo agoYep, and it will make it more difficult to pass legislation designed to actually help combat child exploitation when a large(ish) portion of the population immediately equate "for the children" with a power grab.
- btilly 7mo agoUnfortunately, that population immediately equates the two for good reason. Bills that are presented as "for the children" usually are a power grab. Even more unfortunately, the issue is so emotional that we can't have a reasonable discussion on it. This limits the discussion to proposals that sound good to angry people. And the opposition to those who can get angry about something else. Which limits how much reason is applied on either side. For example, look at the idea of a national sex offenders registry, like we have in the USA. The existence of such a registry is reasonable given that we're no more successful at stopping people from being pedophiles, than we are at stopping them from being homosexuals. But the purpose of such a list is severely undermined when an estimated quarter of the list were themselves minors when they offended. The age at which people are most likely to land on the list is 14. But a man who liked 13 year olds when he was 14, is unlikely to reoffend at 30. What is the purpose of ruining the rest of his life for a juvenile mistake? Such discussions simply can't be had.
- kitd 7mo agoCall it `chatctl` and give it a CLI.
