They'll never do that.

The data harvesting is worth more to them.

Fair point. But it will still be overkill to require 240W for a device that will never take it.

I know it will regulate output. But requirements should make sense.

If you want democracy, you have to expect and accept disagreement. Even if it's as shitty and fucked up as chat control.

Which the majority doesnt want.

Chat Control was still a proposal made by a few politicians in a big continent. Never an EU made innitiative of any kind, and never voted through.

And I think you should read about the democratic system in the EU, if you want to challenge how she was elected.

She's elected how most of European countries elect their presidents. You vote for parties, and then after; one among them will be president. Typically the head figure from the biggest party.

We should be very glad it's not an election like in the US. Awful way of giving "power" to the people, by putting a single person in charge by popular vote.

When you make minimum requirements, you dont go for max. All laptops shouldnt be able to take 240W.

Nothing is perfect, but the EU is by far the best government entity for consumers right now.

Makes you wonder what your phones sees / hears every day.

So the truth is they store messages encrypted. But what they also do is storing the private keys for those messages.

Meaning they technically do it. But it's like locking the door for someone who also has the keys.

Wtf is that shit even.

Imagine having to hire someone who gets lower prices to do your shopping.

It came out that every single key and convo is available on WhatsApp's servers, and they do access it internally. We ofc already suspected it, but now it's confirmed.

It's also a US company, which I think answers everything without needing more explanation.

To those who still doesnt know, look at US Cloud Act.

There's alot of companies that doesnt sell a single thing to the US market, that makes millions.

I think we'll be okay.

They are also legally required to hand over the data. Do you honestly believe they go against the orange dictator and NSA?
