How fascinating. The E.U. Commission's Home Office has a new survey which alleges the majority of Europeans want a Chat Stasi.
Since they've done a survey, I'm sure it must be true, even though it runs contrary to previous surveys, which had large majorities against it.
1) Selection bias? Well, gotta throw that one in.
2) Lying about not being able to extend the timeline.
3) Lying about the amount of abuse by conflating more minor things with more major things and potential with actual.
4) We "confronted" people taking the survey.
Language like this doesn't inspire confidence that this is an impartial assessment of public opinion.
It's kind of interesting, because one of the "won't anyone please think of the children?" lobbyists were upset (they're never going to be happy, even if you create 1984, they always want more) the survey the EDRi commissioned someone to carry out wasn't of the highest quality, however, Ylva now turns around and carries out whatever this is supposed to be.
A "survey".
I seriously doubt that if the Commission said, "okay, let's keep this current "voluntary scanning" arrangement going for another couple of years (or longer)", that the other parts of the E.U. would put their feet down and refuse to do it.
So, that is a lie.
What is "confronting"? Trying hard to get someone to answer a particular way on a survey isn't really impressive.
This reminds me of those surveys where someone would use language like "What if it was your child? You wouldn't like that, would you?" to try to emotionally blackmail someone.
The "29 million images" statistic was thoroughly debunked back in 2021 (it was already known as far back as 2019 / 2020 that these numbers were iffy).
The majority are the same 10 images slightly modified. We don't even know if it was a human who posted these.
Ah, I'm not going to go into the caveats of this number this time. I did that already.
