This move is very good, and fucking about time! Some things should NOT be privacy based, because these services like Klarna might work for you, but they are destroying lifes for some who cant manage these kind of things.

They need to be accountable, and they cant if the dont get any information at all.

If you want the most privacy - which doesnt exists anyway, because VISA/Mastercard, Apple or Google Pay and your bank already has it - pay with cash.

This move by the EU is great. Dont act like you had privacy before the 20th of november anyway.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

You are confusing the EU with the EU Member States.

The EU does not have decisive powers over any Member States army.

They do regulatory work. Which has been great for consumers. This AI thing is a blow, I agree, but it doesnt wash out anything they did before that for the people.

Nah. You sound like you have no clue what the EU is.

This new AI regulation is bad, but the EU is the biggest consumer protection agency on the planet.

If you didnt know this, dont comment about it.

The idea of AI is not the problem. It’s the execution. Both in it’s used wrong and that the people wont benefit.

If we could all leave work 2 hours earlier because of enhanced production, we would all fight for this shit.

But that’s not gonna happen.

You can meassure social media manipulation. View number information can both be scraped and looked at manually.

They might lie now and faking those numbers, as you suggested, “how honest would you be”.

But the first hours didnt lie.

Yeah, it’s very possible! And I firmly believe that you would need to bring these features for broad adoption.

It would require a server and open source software. You dont need anything crazy for it.

Most of the software already exists. You only need to put them together.

I 100% agree. But it didnt work like it does today.

You could not collab, because the software wasnt build to take advantage of shared drives, which will bring back all the following issues as before.

Best case is open source software with the same funtionality as Docs or Word, but you can hook it up to any servers at setup.

Build a Wireguard VPN inside the programs for making it just as easy for the masses to use them.

I dont want the “cloud”. I just want the same productivity.

Thing is, cloud features are very good for being productivity. And also for minimising mistakes, because you dont have multiple copies.

Well, honestly?

Since these certificates are not banned nor up for debate, the NSA probably already have a way to get all the data through another loop hole.

Yes, it protects against “attacks” from outside, but it’s naive to expect they dont have another way in which goes beyond LetsEncrypt.

Is anyone wonders why it’s a problem it’s under US juristriction:

Look up the US Cloud Act. It’s everything the media told you China was, but in the hands of an orange dictator.
