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."

Together, with unity at home and support from global allies, Ukraine will prevail.

Macht doch bitte mal mit allen Euren Freund*innen, Eurer Familie, Menschen an Eurem Arbeitsplatz folgendes, ganz einfaches Experiment:
Fragt, ob die Person im Schnitt mehr als 1000 Euro am Tag an Zins- und Dividendengewinnen auf ihrem Konto gutgeschrieben bekommt, oder entsprechende Aktiengewinne einstreicht.
Wenn das nicht der Fall ist, habt Ihr eine weitere Person gefunden, die von einer VermÜgenssteuer profitieren wßrde und keinesfalls selbst von der Steuer (als zahlende*r) betroffen wäre. Dann ist es nur noch ein kleiner Schritt, die Person davon zu ßberzeugen, die Europäische Initiative zur Einfßhrung einer VermÜgenssteuer mitzuzeichnen:

Hin und wieder mal daran erinnern, dass noch bis zum 9. Oktober 2024 die #EU-#Bßrgerinitiative #TaxTheRich läuft. Sie richtet sich an die Europäische Kommission und fordert diese auf, eine EU-weite Regelung fßr die Besteuerung hoher VermÜgen einzufßhren, um aus den so eingenommenen Geldern den schnelleren Umbau hin zu einer klimaneutralen und klimagerechten Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft zu finanzieren.
Aktuell (29. Juni) haben knapp 227.000 Menschen die Petition unterzeichnet. Das Ziel sind 1 Mio. Aber hey, wir sind eigentlich 500 Mio. Menschen in der EU. Also los!
Und schreibt solche Postings wie dieses hier auch ruhig mal in anderen Sprachen, die ihr beherrscht, und die in der EU gesprochen werden.

Apple's response to its ~$2 billion fine is telling.
It's the same mentality Apple shows with the #DMA.

Apple's malicious compliance: app sideloading will remain impossible on your iPhone
Apple follows EU Digital Markets Act by introducing hefty fines for independent software developers. Expensive fees will restrict the use of alternative app installation.Tutanota
Iâm not sure whoâs to blame in the #EU for giving up to the lobbying efforts of #Apple and #Microsoft (I canât think of anything short of either public official corruption or macroscopic incompetence behind the last minute partial reversal of the #DMA definition of âgatekeeperâ for the two most valuable companies in the world), but these are some consequences of this decision:
- If Apple isnât labelled as a gatekeeper when it comes to #iMessage (an app used by 1.3B people), then they wonât have to comply and open up their walled garden to 3rd-party clients - while, for example, Messenger and WhatsApp will have to comply, despite having similar numbers of users.
- If Microsoft isnât labelled as a gatekeeper when it comes to #Edge (a piece of software installed as the default browser on an OS used by at least 1.5B people), then theyâll be free to keep rewriting
https://URLs asmicrosoft-edge:https://just for the sake of intercepting everything and breaking compatibility, theyâll no longer have to provide browser selection pop-ups on fresh Windows installations, and they can keep opening all the web views and PWA on Windows devices in their own browser without providing alternatives - while, for example, Chrome and Safari will have to comply.
Shame on the EU for bending to them. They have just lost a huge chunk of credibility, and nobody should trust them the next time that they say that they want to uphold the same principles to everyone. Shame on these companies and on their lobbying efforts. Shame on everybody who still uses their products and gives them so much undeserved leverage.
The DMA and the âgatekeeperâ definition was supposed to be the proof that these companies are now run by responsible adults. Being a âgatekeeperâ is the acknowledgment that you are running platforms used by billions, and with great power comes great responsibility - towards society, towards regulators, towards the rules of the open market, towards your own competitors.
My employer might be included on the list soon as well, and Iâm more than happy to comply. Large tech companies like ours have enjoyed lavish profits and outrageous market shares and ignored anti-competition laws for too long: now itâs time to prove that weâre all grown ups who want to play by the rules.
Instead, Apple and Microsoft have unleashed their overpaid legal counsels and lobbying crews, who have engaged in a pathetic dance to gaslight Brussels officials, and force them to say that one of the largest messaging platforms and one of the most used browsers in the world, run by the two companies with the highest evaluations in the world, for some reason are not expected to play by the rules written for everyone else.
Shame on them, and shame on the childish sociopaths who run them.
