Just a quick rant: I prefer to support small businesses, but it bugs me when a companyʻs “web site” is just an #Instagram or #Facebook page. I understand that many folks may not have the time nor talent to put together a simple site, but by not doing so these small businesses are demanding that every potential customer turn over data to Zuckerberg - and to every broker and marketer that he sells our data to. So please folks, donʻt force us potential customers to avoid your biz. #tech #privacy

“ Today, the European Parliament allowed the suspicionless mass scanning of private communications (“Chat Control 1.0”) to pass, a measure it had rejected twice in March. Although a majority of voting Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) actually opposed the regulation (314 against, 276 in favor, 17 abstentions), the motion to reject it failed to secure the required absolute majority of 361 votes. As a result, mass scanning is now permitted again until 2028.

A symbolic exemption was adopted for encrypted communications—though in practice, service providers do not scan these anyway. Furthermore, while a majority of voting MEPs wanted to restrict the scanning of private communications strictly to suspects identified by the judiciary (322 to 255 votes), this amendment likewise fell short of the required absolute majority.

Dr. Patrick Breyer, civil rights activist and former Member of the European Parliament (MEP), warns of the consequences:

“The fact that Chat Control is moving forward against the will of the majority of voting MEPs is a farce and damages democracy.””

In Austria, 2 hotel managers were condemned because they told 2 Muslim women that they could not wear burkinis in the hotel swimming pool.

The 2 women complained about "discrimination", which was upheld by an Austrian court of cucks for Islam!

Here in Geneva, Burkinis are officially prohibited in public pools after an extensive debate where - as usual - leftists were supporting Islamic fascism. The hygiene argument ultimate won.

In France, they are now officially banned for both, reasons of hygiene and opposition to religious symbols in public spaces:

🚨🇩🇪 Alice Weidel GOES OFF on the EU:

“The EU has NOTHING to do with democracy.”

Full speed ahead toward MASS SURVEILLANCE with “chat control” and economic collapse.

Merkel and Von der Leyen are the globalist revenge on the people!

> The European Parliament cleared the way for a renewed extension of the so-called “Chat Control” on Tuesday afternoon. With a narrow majority of 331 to 304 votes and eleven abstentions, the MEPs voted for an urgency motion that Parliament President Roberta Metsola had put on the agenda at short notice at the behest of the member states and the EPP group. This allows Parliament to vote again on the controversial plan on Thursday, its last session before the summer break.
