I think though that some of these bad faith actors are getting desperate though (which means that pro human rights / pro privacy campaigns are working), if one has to bust out the QAnon-like dog-whistles.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/dec/15/proton-mail-founder-vows-to-fight-australias-esafety-regulator-in-court-rather-than-spy-on-users I feel like statements like this exaggerate how much power she actually has (Proton is a *Swiss* company), but it is important to pushback against her.

Useful to consider that the original post references an article where someone literally just ignored the criminality outside of a cursory mention (which there seemed to be little of) and complained about something else.

And it was very distracting as you're literally there to read about the criminality, not someone's QAnon-like rant.

I don't think I've seen takes like that, that bad, in quite some time though. This one is less bad but clearly a dog-whistle, and it's worth watching out for that.

Supposed to take someone seriously who is like tripping QAnon flag after QAnon flag... Including the trans prisoners one.

So, saw it again, this time from a QAnon-adjacent data broker adjacent "think of the children" advocate. One of the people pushing for things like the chat control.

I have like every base covered...

"A grand jury in Mississippi determined that there was no criminal conduct on behalf of the officer who shot and wounded an 11-year-old boy in his home who had called authorities for help."

I think there are questions about privacy when it comes to the "metaverse" (although, Facebook's relevance here seems to be barely existent), really VR.

I also have large concerns about possible incursions on freedom of expression, particularly sexual expression.

"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers."
