After doing a bit of research into an... interesting bunch.
Quite a few groups pushing for this internet control crap (mainly chat control) in the E.U. appear to be either cops or groups strongly associated with them.
It isn't just the "fake foundation" (run by the U.S. / U.K.) or "foreign dark money" from Oak going into apparent "local groups" (quite a few which sprang up out of thin air right when the E.U. pushed the E-Privacy Directive and have a tendency towards making misleading claims).
Police can be notorious for using questionable technologies / techniques, and on "just closing cases" rather than serving justice (which could mean punishing innocent people, although even if this was less so, there would still be enough there that would lead to innocent people being punished).
Government > Police < University <> Government ... Underneath still uncaring...
@olives Good point and I almost thought I wrote that!,,, But it's more to the point - I usually route it to Government but police first and then Government is probably more correct showing the extension of each institution or business arm of originally uncaring / 0-caring / money-orientated human structures just trying to siphon more by 'providing' any 'services'... we'd be shot otherwise if they didn't need us to skim %'s and tax....
Anyway I enjoyed and boosted your toot. If you have more on that please link me, also if I forget your profile which I'll look at now and put notifications as prevention of missing your posts and try you more directly up on my screen a bit... Thanks
@olives perhaps some good hashtags would be good here to get more people's opinion... help get it out there a bit. Also I'm interested what you'd put for hashtags... but if you don't want that's ok too.
When you look at a few groups, at first glance, they might appear a bit like a civil society group, or a technical partner.
When you dig a bit deeper, you discover the people running it are either from the police, used to work for the police, or are in something strongly associated with the police, in one case, it was a "Police University".
