Under the noble-sounding goal of protecting children
As a former child:
- Fuck dem kids
- Transgressing upon rules, taking risks and accessing “forbidden knowledge” is a formative experience of children. Even the myths of ancient civilisations speak for this. The goddamn Adam and eve story is about “kids” (in the moral development sense) breaking the rules and becoming true adults as a result.
And also of course
- The child must not be an obstacle
As someone who was also a child and someone who works in an IT department for a school system, I can tell you, transgressing upon the rules is alive and well. The amount of creative, inventive, zero-day level exploits these kids get into just so they can play knock off Minecraft on their Chromebook makes me think that a future socialist state run hacking program should be manned entirely by middle schoolers.
I had school issued laptops towards the end of my schooling and I managed to install a N64 emulator and play smash with friends on it. It’s the only reason I learned to understand any system language and coding back then. I had to get some friends to help because I was clueless, but I did succeed in the end
ender’s game but they’re trying to figure out how to play minecraft
Literally, we have incoming students here today doing intake assessments, and they asked one of the office people, “So what is the list of blocked stuff here? Is Fort Night blocked? Is Minecraft blocked?” and when they heard the answer, one kid said, “Well, do you know what hacking is? It can just be hacked.”
Imagine a world where every private message, every photo you send to a loved one, every group chat, is scanned by government algorithms before it even reaches its destination. This isn’t a dystopian novel.
Yeah it’s called 2025
I don’t see how this bypasses E2EE. How would the EU read an encrypted message to which only the recipient has the key? Do they intend to put malware in every app and device just to get around this?
According to the article, yes, they intend to require all app makers to put malware in their own apps that spies on messages between being typed and being encrypted.
That sounds super secure…
These encryption circumventing laws are always massive security holes and the people pushing them always insist until they’re blue in the face that it’s fine and totally secure.
Not 1984

And of course
If you don’t get arrested for being a commie it means Ursula von der Leyen called you a lib and left you on read
