The U.K. Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. “the safest place” in the world to be online. In reality, the OSB will lead to a much more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The bill could empower the government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but internet users worldwide.
I have my issues with the EU and it’s current state but god damn am I ever happy that Austria is part of it, I don’t even want to know what our nutjobs would do if the european court for human rights didn’t stand in their way!
I’m also absolutely pro-EU (and I regret Brexit), but the EU has been working on its Child Sexual Abuse Regulation, CSAR for short, for a long time now as you may know. It’s basically the same thing as the UK’s so-called ‘Online Safety Bill.’
Yea, I am aware of that and also the chatcontroll proposal but it’s not the first time they and indivitual member states attempt shit like that and so far the european court saved us from the worse parts, it’s certainly more functional than our courts in Austria and a decent enough way to enforce that european human rights agreement. We will probably get a conservative and nazi coilition in Austria once again after the next election and I am thankful of everything that stands in the way of those morrons even if it’s just a little bit!
