This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Shits just getting started. This is just going to be one of many dominoes from this ruling to the ultimate demise of the USA, even if they do get rid of Trump.
This + Citizens United + President can't be charged for official acts = game over.
The presidency is no longer trust worthy, and now every US agency is no longer trust worthy.
FDA: The drug isn't safe
Trump: Approve it
FDA: The drug isn't safe
Trump: You're fired
FDA: The drug is the BEST DRUG WE'VE EVER SEEN!
Every single agency.
Germany needed the world to fix.
Europe can not just let this happen.
Just one more reason for Europe to abandon American tech.
Yes stop buying our shit holy fuck
Jesus fucking Christ STOP
That would help.with so many things if it was abrupt
Enjoying my EU hosted services, and looking forward to my next-gen cloud office software from the EU, and I'm already bypassing US retail brands for most of my electronics.
There was a time that saying "buy American" wasn't a curse or a threat.
My eu hosted services pass through us servers. Every single one is like this. Probably because your countries are spying on Americans too, and you’re all in cahoots together.
The day that the regular people of Europe and America, realize our leaders are all mutually fucking us together and hopping over to an island to fuck kids while laughing at us will be a fucking great day.
Citations needed for the first paragraph. Hard agree, for the second.
The joke of a "privacy framework" has now a excuse less.
I wouldn't hold my breath that anything changes, though
No data should be exchanged with the US, unless memes taking the piss out of the US are considered data, then yes sure, lots.
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.
Don't appologize. You aren't wrong. It needs to be said.
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?
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
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."
Look up Curtis Yarvin and Dark Enlightenment. It’s why fElon wore a dark MAGA hat.
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)
If it's any comfort, none of them are getting to Mars.
To be fair, I would love it if they fucked off to Mars.
If they did, it sure would be a shame if their radio stopped working
Important read:
How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days - "He used the constitution to shatter the constitution."
Wow, a news site that actually links primary sources like the SCOTUS decision. 10/10 Absolute amaze!
NOYB (non of your business) is great! Not so much a primary news site, but an Austrian NGO that focuses on data privacy in the EU. They have taken some of the biggest cases related to EU:US data transfers against the EU.
Ah, that makes more sense. I was suspicious of a news site being so good. The search for good news source continues...
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.
Pretty sure it'll make no difference. The agreements were already constantly being broken, and the EU only occassionally bothered doing anything about it. With the current European Comission being made up entirely of American assets, I suspect we'll see no action on this whatsoever.
Frankly, I didn't even know about this in the first place.
The title is wrong. SCOTUS didn't make anything happen ... the question is what EU regulators will do, and my guess is they won't do a damn thing. But you never know!
Welcome to the Reich. The Land of the Free is no more.
it never was… like most American things, it was always just marketing
It's European fault for relaying on a single thing
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.
trump wants palantir to handle all the data, so they cant profile "dissidents against right wing governments"
