Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Snapchat are launching a counteroffensive to impose chat control on European citizens.

"Today, with the expiration of the ePrivacy exemption that allowed the use of technology to detect child sexual abuse, Europe risks leaving children around the world less protected from the most abhorrent forms of abuse."

Oh, with me it's hard to say, Israel is probably the main factor, but I go pretty hard against corporate interests and the government as well. As always, it's mostly about Israel though. I used to get 6 months out of an account, after my first one lasted over a year, now I was down to 3 months, my new one got a violation in the first week for something that wasn't against the rules. None of these violations are against the rules. It is bad faith.

Brother holy fuck lol if i could high 5 you rn I would. Exact same for me. I lost my Twitter account back in the Covid days and have seen the way it's went with Elon regarding the Israel issue. Unbelievably hard to bite my tongue on there but I don't want to lost my twitter account after getting it back.

Reddit it was gone in a blink. Mirage to its credit, they market themselves as an absolute free speech platform so i've found my takes being received a lot better on there on the israel issue. Reassuring af that I can finally vent somewhere online without fear of any blowback, if that makes sense

I will have to check that out, that's what I want, I don't care if people are mean to me, I Can Be Mean back, I'm actually better at being mean than they are.

Are there enough people to make it worthwhile though?

It's relatively new but definitely growing a lot over the last few weeks bud! I've been finding myself enjoying it and checking it as much as I would my twitter during the day! Worth checking out 100%.
