I won't lie, even after a month of getting it back after what happened, I still feel sick knowing that my account had been used for bad purposes.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

I agree and just want to add context:
Basically every interest/hobby is filtered through the idea that you need to be good at it and/or monetize it. Even single player games (100%, 1CC, speedrun, etc.)

I think the problem is more inherently human. I think it's similar to "I HAVE to be good at drawing to be an artist" or "I HAVE to be good at an instrument to be a musician". Its hard to find people that are like "I suck at this but I have fun with it regardless"

Det låter faktiskt nu som att EU har förhandlat ner Chat Control till en nivå som tar hänsyn till bland annat säkerhet och journalisters möjlighet att kommunicera med källor. Scanning av kommunikation ska även fortsättningsvis bygga på frivillighet för respektive plattform. Inga statliga bakdörrar.
