Do the EU have the capability to fork it?

[–] buran@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't know, but I'm not sure if a government funded fork would be the right move.

Many people have their doubts about using funding for things like that, I wouldn't be opposed to it but Europe has other problems that people might consider more urgent.

It would absolutely be the right move. Some individual countries are already doing this and there are proposals for EU to do the same:

Yeah, it would be so much easier for the eu to do chat control is they controlled the while os

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 15 hours ago

That's not how any of that works.

OK. So in that case the easiest thing to do is to hand out fines.
