Yes stop buying our shit holy fuck
Jesus fucking Christ STOP
That would help.with so many things if it was abrupt
What's transferred is transferred. The amount of available data is massive. Thats not even considering complacency going forward.
I'm not sure. Technically, yes, but there have been a number of EU treaties like that before that got all chopped by the courts, and the EU just went and found other lame excuses to try the same shit again.
So, theoretically, the EU has to rip that treaty to shreds, and have no real chance to get another attempt because all legal pathways have now been burned.
Watching The Man in the High castle hits very different now.
People over here are seeing what is going on in the USA but
they might still vote for Reform and then we are done.
The rich will make sure that they control everything including
every citizen.
Palantir, Musk, Bezos,Thiel and all the other monsters will plunder
what is left of the worlds resources and retreat to their many bunkers
or Mars. They think AI will fix the earth and according to them millions
will die in the process of them remaking the world into a Technocratic
feudal system.And for that they want all the data till they know more
about you than you do yourself.
At least that's what they have in their project 2025 and beyond as a plan.
They want only the "right" people to survive.
It makes horrifying reading, they think of empathy and kindness as big
massive weakness,they want the sick,disabled ,lgbtq and others to
die as thy are seen as a burden on their system.
Sorry for the rant but I am old and these people scare me.
yeah its kinda surreal how this march to destruction is when your at the just trying to make it to retirement age (which looks like won't be around then anyway)
Do you have any further reading material? It feels like we haven't gotten too far past the point of no return but I suppose once you pass that point, by definition you can't return. Are we really that close to Snowcrash?
Doug Rushkoff's Survival of the Richest paints a really fascinating picture of the tech billionaire mindset. Rushkoff has been writing about tech for like 50 years so he's able to explain the evolution from creative tech anarchist to fascist sociopath. "They seem to think they can design a car fast enough to outrun its own exhaust."
This is a good explanation of project 2025. It is a roadmap to the extreme right.
Women will lose their right to vote,getting contraceptives will be hard to come
by as they want women,white women to have as many babies as possible.
They want to institutionalize all homeless,disabled and mentally ill.Withing their
circles the talk of mercy killings of these people.
There is so much more craziness they want to enact and people need to organize
and fight back.

Search for "Thiel Dialogue Leaks" for more nightmare fuel to read
The joke of a "privacy framework" has now a excuse less.
I wouldn't hold my breath that anything changes, though
One big lie has been debunked.
Whether or not that means there will be more truth, well, time will tell.
There will never be more truth while these crazy idiots are in charge. Take the reflecting pool as example, everyone saw it being painted and they were proudly yammering about it being painted. The paint failed because they're morons and suddenly it was terrorists cutting a 300 foot liner with a box cutter.
Welcome to the Reich. The Land of the Free is no more.
it never was… like most American things, it was always just marketing
With the CLOUD, FISA and PATRIOCT acts, any privacy was already inexistant on USA soil, so at least if the commission can pull its head out of its ass, it coald be better.
