Greenland’s prime minister has said “we choose Denmark” before high-stakes talks at the White House as Donald Trump seeks to take control of the Arctic territory.
Amid rising tensions over the US president’s push, Jens-Frederik Nielsen on Tuesday told a joint press conference with his Danish counterpart, Mette Frederiksen, that the island would not be owned or governed by Washington.
“We are now facing a geopolitical crisis. If we have to choose between the US and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark, Nato and the EU,” Nielsen said, adding that the island’s “goal and desire is peaceful dialogue, with a focus on cooperation”.Trump’s pursuit of the island was also a matter of “international law and our right to our own country”, he said.
Oh shit, does that mean Europeans will get shot in the face now too?
Chat control means if it ever comes to being shot in the face, we won’t have widely available encrypted chats available to organise anymore.
We will. They will just be “illegal” and not provided by one of the tech corporations but by regular programmers.
Yes, now good luck distributing your self hosted app to a big enough group of people to start getting people organized. Especially people who don’t know how to install apps that aren’t on the official stores.
Otherwise, Matrix would already fill this niche, but even that’s too much for normies.
Plus when it’s illegal, they don’t need to know what you’re doing, just that it’s encrypted and you’re connecting to a service they don’t have the keys for and isn’t on a whitelist either. Enough to arrest you.
It didn’t start with people getting shot in the face. Chat control is a big step in that direction.
You all are fighting on who’s riding the biggest turd boat into the sea and you’re both making find points :)
The US is putting Nazi slogans on the government speech podiums and trying to annex countries that are too weak to put up a fight.
The EU is trying to remove private communication.
I think the US is a about 11:59 on the doomsday clock, the EU is about 10:45
We’re both mostly fucked, the EU has more time to turn around, but that’s not likely either.
