Here it is: the Finnish Parliament has sided against #ChatControl !

I am overjoyed that in their statement, they have outlined exactly what this proposal would entail: mass surveillance in Europe.

From their statement (translation by me):

"..the suggested model would, in fact, lead to the mass surveillance of communication and would weaken the integrity of communication in the EU."

@Printdevil @FlashMobOfOne I love this story. 😂😂😂

@FlashMobOfOne Wow! I could go for a forest adventure right about now. 🙂

I think about this often.

Tomorrow (19.6.2024) there will be a vote that will impact the future of end-to-end encryption in Europe.

I hate writing email as much as you do but this is for an important cause!

This is accomplishment in the 21st century.

For a few years I had an Instagram account where I only posted pictures of error messages I came across on public screens.

I deleted my account after I got fed up with everything related to Meta but I still have the habit of taking pictures of every error screen I come across. I might as well post them here now.

Yesterday I came across an OneDrive error message that tripped a screen in a clothes store out of kiosk mode. It is marvelous.
