>New EU policies could damage both internet and gaming in the EU drastically.>Could affect old and new games.>Big organizations including Stop Killing Games are against it.Is there no petition or site like Fightchatcontrol to fight against it or something

>>749669157I can't wait to be forced to use only the dark web.
>>749669269I'd be only using that if not for all the child porn there.
>>749669257>series of tubesname one problem with that metaphor
I really don't care. I experienced the golden age of the internet (90s-00s) and fought back against similar stupid shit like SOPA. The internet has been absolute dogshit ever since the 10s so they might as well burn it all down. Also I no longer play multiplayer games.
>>749669295the tubes are parallel
This is all a big establishment ploy to combat the things that led to Trump getting elected.They're realizing that democracy doesn't work in the favor of the policy roadmap of the UN or the Democrats, regarding human rights expansions and other things, so now they think they get to control us and compel us to do what we're supposed to, "or else".Countries only ever deploy Mass Surveillance when they become aware they're on a losing trajectory.The alternative reality is also the car and traffic lights analogy, that cars started as a niche and as it expanded to mass purpose, they added law enforcement and traffic rules to all roads to allow it to expand into public consensus.The issue I have is that I don't really see what it is that they want so much for the internet and internet browsing for a general expansion by adding normalized law enforcement to it, and compliance rules. It's already global, and sure there's porn so many places, and every single user-hosted thing runs the risk of posting human rights violations of some kind, but idk, to say that the internet is the cause of mass suicide isn't really accurate. It's cause of mass trannification for SURE, but that's precisely what they wanted, because trans rights are part of the UN agenda, and part of the resistance they're trying to fight is people rejecting the mass trannification of everything, or "woke".So which one is it? There's also people on the libtard side claiming all of this came from "Evangelical christian boomers". OK, but then why is the EU doing it? You said that when it was just the US wanting to ban porn, which is clearly the Conservatives doing it, and guys like Russ Vought. But then why is the EU doing it, and why are people like Macron yelling proudly about it? Why is Pedro Sanchez, another UN Globalist, who loves migrants and loves LGBT rights, also saying we need to censor the internet?As I see it, it's horseshoe theory plain as day. Either extreme wants it.

>>749669352The SOPA/PIPA protests are what got /r/politics and /r/technology kicked off the front page of reddit. /r/news replaced /r/politics. At the time, /r/news was like the conservative version of /r/politics. The head mod /u/douglasmacarthur even put up a snarky sidebar note telling politics refugees not to expect their hugboxWithin two weeks, a few new mods were added to the /r/news team and /u/douglasmacarthur fell silent. He stopped posting altogether. Years later his name was quietly dropped from the mod listWho was the post SOPA/PIPA mod to take his place as the voice of the /r/news mod team? /u/maxwellhill

>>749670252Epstein ran /pol/ btw. You play both sides. that way, you always come out on top!
>>749669157Just ban kids from the internet. Not only would it keep kids safe, but it would also make the internet a better place overall because we wouldn't need to be babysitting some dickhead kid with shitty parents.
>>749669157If you are native to the EU and have children, still living there or not trying to fix the actual problem there is equal to child abuse and you don't deserve to have children.
>>749669269The "dark web" is just going to look like Geocities/IRC chat pre Y2k. The more things change the more they stay the same
>>749669157>but won't somebody please think of the childrenIs it even in the kids interest that the internet gets fractured and unusable? Families already have the ability to use child safety modes on their private internet connection, so why ruin it for everyone else?

>>749669157I loathe the state of the world, everything is so backwards and nonsensical. They don't want to protect anyone, they only want to control that no one engages in wrongthink online. If they gave a shit they would protect real children in the real world, but even if they could figure out some ulterior motive to get on that, it would mean to engage with uncomfortable realities of what their other fake moralfaggotry did to or rather "brought into" society and they'd never do that. The worst fucking people trying to turn everything into a performative moralfaggotry so that they can keep doing all their shady shit, while no one can say anything out of fear of getting hit by the>oh so you hate waffles?!rhetoric by useful pseudo-progressive retards.

>>749669157>boomers, soccer moms and retards will defend this because muh protecting kids>soon you will need to show ID and do a face call if you want to use Steam/Playstation store/Xbox store/Nintendo store>in the end it was never about protecting kids in games/online, it was about control, censorship and taking your data so they can sell it I am so tired of living in this nightmare with no end

>>749673440Explains a lot. In 2023 an EU Comission law came down that you had to "Time-log" at work, and our CEO and the board decided this should mean that all of us had to log into a portal and write in detail what each our per day was spent on. We ended up just logging shit for 30 minutes per day, and stressing over any empty hour more than thinking about the work itself, and I personally had a massive decrease in productivity because it stopped being pleasant to be there.And the argument was that the rule would "keep large corporations in check". The reporting then quickly came in that almost exclusively small businesses were shouting and complaining about their new law because they just didn't have the manpower to satisfy needs for reporting that a lot larger corporations had, along with other new laws for reporting.Then a while later our boss sat us down and told us about "ESG" and I had already read the /v/ threads and I just died inside, and quit a while later.He even said something remarkable about it>We are a middleman type of company, like others that deliver software to larger companies>We essentially have no choice to be on board with whatever this "ESG" is.>I'm hearing from other people in conferences lately that if you're a company not in ESG, you'll be blacklisted by the major corporations.>It's a death sentence if you do not join ESG.>So I'm not sure what it means for us yet, but we've agreed to start it.And then later I heard him on a phone call with the investors and complaining like>If this is just another set of shit to report and report and report, then I want out of it. We can't waste any more time just writing things into documents. I have developers who can't do their jobs almost.And then idk how it evolved but I fucking quit, so.Thanks EU.
>>749670298I spoke out loud at my work today about this topic. Suddenly several guys walking past me after the break were like>Bro I've been thinking the exact same things!Resistance is rising, and it isn't just an online thing.

remind me, why does the internet have to be a safe space for children?
>>749674416stop asking questions goy
>>749674416Because it's finally truly overtaken Cable TV as the establishment's primary method of programming youth, so with the youth favoring and uncontrolled mass of user-driven content from people who don't think about who's consuming it on the other end, kids quickly end up on pornsites and tranny lewd games, and discord troon servers, and end up self-identifying as gay/tranny before they're 12.

>>749669428Yes.As one Redditor pointed out, Meta was tired of paying fines because it "exposed" children to harmful content, so it decided to lobby to shift the responsibility onto governments.Governments immediately jumped on board because the contemporary left (which is extremely gay and feminist) got scared when it realized that normal people hate faggots and feminists, so one thing goes hand in hand with the other. Now, to add to the mess, the Zionist neoconservative right got scared when it realized what normal people think of Israel and Jews, so all political sides are going to embrace Meta's idea as a way to censor everyone, and screw it.
>>749674840anon... they have presented this dogshit over there like 2 times already
>>749673906>when even the middlemen whose entire job is to report stuff is getting broken and begging for changeEU digital laws will forever continue to amaze me with how draconian in the pursuit of being like China they are but never actually accomplish being like China. They cannot wrap their heads around the idea that Worst Korea style governance isn't how China is doing things.
>>749669428It's quite simply because no significant politician on earth, be they right wing or left wing, is gonna oppose measures that are (outwardly) meant to protect kids. Unless they're an already fringe libertarian or something to that effect, they're not gonna risk pissing off the millions of lazy parents in their countries by implying that the privacy of some fat Linux gamer is as or more important than the safety of their children or give fuel to political rivals by enabling them to spin a narrative that [opposing party] is defending the internet predators. And that's IF it even crosses their minds, as they're mostly tech illiterate people who don't understand the internet beyond surface level social media and genuinely believe that such laws are good. It's not even some grand conspiracy really. The surveillance is, if anything, a bonus. The root of it is unironically just tech illiteracy and a difference in priorities between normalfags and habitual internet users.
Can't wait for my Digital Citizen ID to be mandatory to access the internet and linked to every media account so I can be monitored 24/7
>>749675126Another problem is just that EU is full of aristocratic foids whose sole motivation is to dethrone men from any positions of power. So they're aiming at high tier CEOs throughout all industries, but their lawmaking affects small businesses and indie studios.

>>749669428There's a massive difference between banning porn and forcing you to identify yourself if you want to use the internet.Do you think every single form of control is bad and people should just do whatever they want? Not even libertarians are that retarded.Banning porn is not the same as banning woodstoves.
>>749675697For me it's killing politicians
>>749676759Right.The whole thing is like>"We're doing this FOR THE CHILDREN"So you'll ban porn from free sites and user posting?>Nononono, porn stays up! It's fine!>Just want your ID goyim.But to be fair they did obliterate Motherless and porn sites are struggling to stay in business since the "scare" of having to give ID is enough that people don't wanna access it anymore. And I strongly suspect this is the whole idea.It lines up with what Russ Vought said.>They'll say "Then we won't do business in your state!">This is entirely what we're after.And it's the same thing like when Australia banned riding bicycles without a helmet. People stop bicycling, so the rich car drivers can have clearer roads.All under the guise of "protecting" or whatever.
