We the people need to write to our mps that we oppose this attack on privacy.

I’m writing my MP, this is important.

This bill is fucking wrong. I don’t care if you think teens shouldn’t have access to porn, THIS bill as written is not the way.

All this bill will do is funnel that pen you watch directly to the US government and corporations.

We the people is an American thing.

You're a subject, knave.

[–] ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace@piefed.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We the people don't matter to this government.

I tried emailing my mp on multiple occasion and never got so much as an automated response

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Mine has written me back personalized responses.

Varies by MP.

I do not want to disclose what riding I live in.

Liberal. I get the feeling is not everyone’s experience, but mine is good.

I’ve found NDP MPs can be good as well, some they’re often community minded people.

You're one of the lucky ones.

I'm pretty sure they know. I don't think they care.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 10 points 16 hours ago

Still write them. Make them have no deniability of the issues.

[–] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They don't give the slightest fuck. Sounds like a good time to ditch the net.

[–] thatonecoder@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. That's what they want: to silence y'all. Fight back.

There’s literally bad actors paying people $33 per letter to sway their representatives in democracies.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

You have any sauce for that? They pay influence operations to write thousands and thousands of fake comments and all sorts of things, not usually Americans though, and not individual people, but companies based out of low-income countries like India speak English.

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Where can I sign up for this $33 per letter?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

I’ll give you $33 to fuck off.

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 3 points 20 hours ago

Don’t be a tool.

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 3 points 21 hours ago

Time to build a new net.

I'm already on more darknets than they can count. At least I'm pretty sure they can't, because they're not very bright, and probably can't count very high.
