The title of this article is very misleading, suggesting that EU governance is some kind unified body, and that these documents actually represent what “The EU” wants to do.

EU governance is far more complicated, and these documents only represent the view of one part of the EU governance system, the EU Council.

The EU council is basically made up of people sent by the state governments of all the members, and basically represents the views of those state governments. The council is the only legislative writing body in the EU, but it has no power to enact legislation. It can only write proposed legislation, and present it to the EU parliament for voting on.

The EU parliament is made up of directly elected MEPs and represents the interests of EU citizens as a whole, and not as individual member states. To get legislation passed, the parliament and council need to work together to get legislation written that the council is happy to write, and the parliament is happy to enact. The council is small body of 27 people, representing the interests of state governments, and the parliament 705 MEPs and represents “the people”.

There’s currently no evidence that these proposals by the Council will have any success in the parliament, if anything quite the opposite. The EU parliament has made I quite clear they don’t like this type of draconian legislation, and won’t vote to enact it.

Obviously that doesn’t mean we should ignore these proposals. It’s important to make it clear we don’t like it, and lend weight behind the arguments being put forward by MEPs to block this legislation. But to say this represents the EU “doubling down” on penalising privacy-friendly services is ridiculous. It represents the EU council doubling down, but that only one small part of the EU governance bodies, and the other bodies are actively fighting back.

For sure internet helped a lot for the rise of arab spring

TIDR; he is protesting the Biden is too linien with Israeli despite the thousands of palastinians being killed and starved

I use self hosted VPN for many years now.

You worry that facebook would associate that static ip with you but the problem is quiet the opposite.

most website will recognize that your IP belong to a hosting company so they often suspect that you are a bot. Wikipedia wont let u edit articls, youtube wont let u comment on videos. Other than that its fine, just expect to pass more captcha.

you could pay little extra and get dynamic IP from your provider. That effectivwly changes your IP. Deleting dynamic IP and recreating it gives u a new one. But I dont do that.

I just hide in the crowed by letting others uss my VPN and rely on service providers often dismissing my IP as bot

This based on what?

Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes

He tried to circumvent the rule so he got banned for 7 days

Same thing for Islam. For Judaism, you don't go to heaven eitherway.

Isnt that a good thing though ? Encourage munfactoring these components in the US and reduce reliance on China?

Cat-bread would keep rotating and never falls as it falls to the ground

Wow I had no idea

It could also be a disk problem. I second the backup suggestion

US would have to switch sides first for that to happen. No ally of the US is a terrorist.

Many middle eastern countries oppress bahahis, why Iran is singled out?

But Russia only got "to bed" with Iran recently when Iran agreed to supply them with drones.

Before Ukraine war, Russia didn't care about Iran or North Korea.

If Israel could supply Russia with more advanced drones / weapons, I assure you Russia would switch alliance in a blink of an eye

Russia comes to mind. They'd accept Israel if they could benefit from it. Also Bibi get to be a plain old dictator without worrying too much about response from western allies. In exchange Russia get access to lot of western tech.

I think the problem is that US invested heavily in Israel for many decads so its very difficult to do something that could result in Israel switching alliance

Google is the default search engine because they pay a lot to mozilla, I doubt that would change

Is that crime specific to puppies or in theory they woukd have got into trouble if they froze another animal like a rat or mouse or rabbit ?

the Knesset approved the bill allowing the temporary closure in Israel of foreign broadcasters considered to be a threat to national security.

The implication of that is beyond AlJazeera and war in Gaza. This means in the future he could shut off any news channel he want by calling it "a threat to national security".

Israel is moving at fast pace toward dictatorship

TLDR; its an evil attack where a compiler get modified to inject a virus/backdoor in apps plus be able to detect when its compiling itself (from clean source code) and add the part that inject backdoor
