@EU_Commission yesss :allthethings:

@EU_Commission Great meme! and it is very clear! You are cool @EU_Commission hahaha

@EU_Commission If every nation and jurisdiction tries to put its own law on the global network, the network will no longer work.

@EU_Commission and @Gargron - would the #DSA / #DigitalServicesAct bear the risk to limit or break #fediverse community due to imposing unmanageable work onto the few #voluntary operators and admins?

@EU_Commission now sure if this should feel like a good thing or a bad one, for now, ill keep researching

"The new aristocracy... origins lay in the salaried middle class and the upper grades of the working class, had been shaped and brought together by the barren world of monopoly industry and centralized government.
...in the past no government had the power to keep its
citizens under constant surveillance.
...The possibility of enforcing not only complete obedience to the will of the State, but complete uniformity of opinion on all subjects, now existed for the first time.

@EU_Commission We don't need additional laws for online. The regular laws already apply. Law emforcement just needs use them. What you are trying once again is creating laws to suppress people.

@EU_Commission Trust in encryption and confidentiality of private communication is key for any commercial use of any IT equipment. In so far the DSA requires backdoors on devices and communication channels, any upright democrat should rigorously oppose it. Criminals will always find ways to circumvent it using steganography or custom software, regulation on that level will only hurt business-usecases and legitimate users.

@EU_Commission EU doing more to reign in big tech than the US has ever done truly. Excited to see the ripple effect of this

@EU_Commission What legal in one country is illegal in another so how do you distinguish between some 'illegal' and 'legal' content?

@EU_Commission I hope other regions will follow suit as you. EU laws may be de facto international law.

@EU_Commission perhaps you should reconsider your definition of "illegal content", The law is the problem. Not the people. #copyright

@EU_Commission And what’s legal online should be legal offline as well? Purely poor logic.

@EU_Commission Laudable aims and good means, but they rely on users being within a single jurisdiction. This works within the EU but not beyond and suggests exercising control in a way that is not too different to China’s control of online spaces. Also, there are significant differences between libel and privacy laws across the world. The approach can really only work in my view if there is a treaty-led international approach to online norms and harms. #DSA #DMA #ONLINEHARMS #PARLIAMENT

@EU_Commission Los estados también tienen su #memética y vienen a por nosotres....

@EU_Commission

I cannot support the digital services act becuase of your war on end to end encryption. I do not support your laws that deputize publically traded for profit companies to police speech on your behalf. News flash, illegal activity was already illegal online. Every time platfroms crack down on speech, nazis go elsewhere where we will never reach them. This does more harm than good.
