Chat control (lemmy.ml)

Pandora's iPhone, by Stuart Carlson, 2016. Still spot-on in 2026:

A backdoor for the good guys simply does not exist. Once you build it, hackers walk through, authoritarian governments walk through, and the rest follows.

The UK is pressuring for chat control right now. EU Chat Control initiatives keep popping up. We need to keep saying NO to this!

You said, "And the odds of getting killed at a protest here are what, only 30%? Bullshit. It's a propaganda thing, the US has always been a violent repressive menace to world peace."

The U.S. has done many reprehensible things. But I'm talking about your specific claim that the odds of getting killed at a protest in the U.S. are 30%, which is false.

"Public forum discussions aren't just about persuading the person you're interacting with directly, they're about persuading every single person who reads that interaction for as long as it exists. The only reason not to try is because you suspect you'll come out of it looking worse to observers, not just losing the argument with one person but inadvertently reinforcing their position to third parties and popularizing their views over your own."
