We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
🇪🇺 After the UK's Online Safety Act and Australia's decision to restrict much of social media to teenagers, the European Union plans to take it a step further than the two countries and implement AI scanning tools to read the private and public groupchats of European users and look for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
The European Union wants to adopt by October 14th a final draft of its Chat Control Act which is marketed, just like in the case of the UK's Online Safety Act and Australia's ban on teenagers from using social media apps, that it is being done to protect the children!
The European Commission's premise with this act is that all European citizens are closeted pedophiles who regularly share CSAM in their private conversations and thus everything must be verified by the state to make sure that this premise is not confirmed. Not only does the EU want to implement this AI groupchat scan tool, it wants to implement everything that the UK and Australia did like mandatory age verification upon login, social media bans for teens etc.
End-to-end encryption apps in the EU would stop working as a result of the tech company not complying with this regulation or would be broken entirely upon compliance.
Unlike the UK and Australia, the EU wants social media companies to have AI scan tools not only detect CSAM but also automatically report it to the police. Hashing tools which are already in use by law enforcement and most tech companies to identify potential CSAM give way too many false positives, to the proportion of 1/5 hashed messages. The EU also wants internet providers to block certain URLs from outside the EU upon request from national authorities.
Currently there's no consensus among EU countries on how far this bill should go, with some concessions being made that users can refuse to have their conversations scanned but will then lose the ability to upload pictures, videos or audio files and also won't be able to receive any. Consensus on the matter is being expected to be reached by October 14th and by the end of 2025, a final draft should be ready.
The governments of Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Luxembourg and Romania haven't decided if they support this bill or not. Only Austria, Poland and The Netherlands oppose this bill.
I went in for my 6 month visit with my Dr. and we had a very interesting discussion today. They told me that if the Dr. you are seeing walks in with what looks like a cell phone and sets it down on the table next to you they are recording everything that is said in that visit to your chart for "Better patient care and safety" I asked them if this was being done and they said NO I won't do it calling it a HIPA and Dr. Patient privacy issue. They stated that when they asked what happens to this recording the powers that be stated that its erased after the visit at which point both of us went B.S. Supposedly the Dr. you are seeing is supposed to tell you up front that you are being recorded but everyone knows how that goes. If they do tell you and you do not consent then supposedly the Dr. can click the do not record button on your chart screen each time but there is no way for them to truly know that you are not actually being recorded. The Dr. that I saw is currently looking to ...
Tinfoil hat time.
Here is a theory of mine. We all know the govt lies or tells half truths regarding just about everything in this country.
What if these huge capital funds like Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street are buying up tens of thousands of houses so the housing market does not collapse? What if those dying and leaving houses are much higher than we are told? If a massive influx of houses hit the market, the market would start to drop to the point that some places could lose a huge percentage of value of their homes.
We know that most Americans are leveraged to the gills through their houses. For instance, if the house was purchased for 500k and now its valued at 1 million, they would have taken out a loan on the equity to either buy vehicles, another car, or a vacation. If the market lower the valuation of those houses, the banks will then take a hit on the loans they backed. Plus, new homes would not need to be built and the construction industry would also take a hit....
