Commies gonna commie. Europe is going to be a shithole for anyone who isn't a snackbar enjoyer in the next 5 years, and they're expressively anti white/anti western culture.

Never set up a tech company anywhere near Europe. The US has single tech companies worth more than the entire GDP of european countries.

It’s great the way Europe is converting itself into an open air museum/prison camp.

Seriously though - we should be arresting the French officials involved in this crime against free speech.

France has thousands of police and cannot stop crime.

But somehow Pavel was expected to stop crime with the tool of “content moderation”

The whole job security, seniority, and overtime requirements that Europe imposes are anathema to the way that most tech does business. For better or worse as far as those business practices. You couldn't have a culture of firing the bottom 10% just for low performance.

If a presumed terrorist enter into your Hotel and the authorities ask you to let them enter and hide a camera inside the room where the terrorist is hosted, do you think you deserve guarantees from the law to have the freedom to give to your clients their privacy so that you could decide to don't cooperate?

This is just a more complex way of saying “think of the children!”

We get it, you don’t understand why there is a legitimate reason why someone would not want the government to have access to every communication that they send- because rest assured that is the subtext of this order. The French authorities, and most likely the rest of the global authorities, want to be able to peer into what you’re saying so their control is absolute, eliminating wrong-think even in private communications.

I am not an extremist. I have no terrorist ties. I am just a man who wants my country to respect the 4th amendment and I’m deeply distrustful of any government that doesn’t wish to live up to that.

In my example I have said that the authorities should access a single room because there is the strong suspect that who is inside is a terrlrost (or whatever it is) and the police, once authorised by the judical power (independent and based on law) that has examined all the suspects, should access that single room. If you don't let police access that single room you are covering that terrorist and imho it's a peoblem for the community if this is systematic.

There is also a thing: if due to technological reasons it is not possible to restrict access to a single room, so other room must be umder surveillance, I will be in the front line to say no, that is against my privacy. It's not about the freedom to talk, if for you is ok you can talk freely but there is a risk for your privacy because the government or the society that host that service can access your messages (as if this is not happening!).

God, please try and arrest Elon for similar reasons. Let's take this trash fire and dump some fucking napalm on it
