Lol Facebook was too dumb to even share my father's posts when he joined. Just kept spamming me with rage bait and posts from someone obnoxious I met at a party years before and never really had a real contact with. How is this company supposed to detect anything? To me it's just a cesspool that provides a few people with power.

Let's imagine the error rate would be 0%, anonimity is a right and none of the privacy tools are broken, would you be on board with it? Or are there concerns I am missing here.

The only is avoid centralized chats, using decentralized encrypted ones. For all those which use Watsfuck and others like these Google-Zuckerbot derivates it makes anyway no difference if the EU scan or not their chats, especially using stock iPhone or Android.

I read the text, and didn't find anything on centralize or decentralize messenger. Are you talking about the technical solution they want to use ? The text is very confusing about it.

With Christian democrats in the majority (preliminary results), it's doubtful the saga is over.
