Pretty sure thats Palintir.

The legally have to because of the US Cloud Act.

Every single US company has a backdoor because of this.

I'm convinced that all the "China is tracking you!!" is a giant deflection for how much the US is tracking.

They have always been the worst offender, and Snowden was only a warning for something that has been going on for many years.

Their alternative is literally to bankrupt their countries, because those stupid fucking idiots put too many eggs in one basket.

Without oil/gas export, they can wave goodbye to their economies as they are today.

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.
