I agree that people should think before they vote, but the European Commission is not an elected body
The voters are supposed to hold it accountable to the European Parliament, which is directly elected by EU citizens. And if that doesn't help, people can vote their country out of the EU. Everything boils down to the voters' actions.
Now they have to seek out software that cannot fall under such jurisdiction. There are plenty of alternatives.
And really, if you don't want these laws on the books, you should be more careful who you vote for. All these problems are needlessly chronic and self inflicted.
Yeah, and most of them are representative democracies of one sort or another also. Does that say anything? To anybody? We must be in space, because nobody hears the screaming. Ok, technically, we are in space...
Yeah, it's been going on for centuries. The real pattern, the one that we can fix, is in a different place, hint: it's not the government, well, it is, but its direction is decided by... oh wait, don't want to give that away. It'll wreck the story.
This is the ruling class protecting itself from us.
*sigh* I wish people would stop with the lame old 19th century cliches. This may come as a surprise to you, but the RulingClass® can't rule if nobody votes for them.
You never heard me complain about the "incompetent developers". I'm only telling you that Slashdot encodes and renders ASCII text just fine, and you don't have to be a slob. They have no problem, you do. On top of everything else, you're projecting. Take the stick out, buddy, and turn off "Smart Quotes", at least!
Reading a teleprompter. Seems about right. If a politician is reading from one, chances are he/she is lying. I wish they would speak from the heart, without the cue cards. The profanity was at least original.
Chrome is a Google app. I'll let you draw your own conclusions about what they pass to Facebook, as a *Professional Courtesy* of course! Then there's your service provider, who usually doesn't charge Facebook against your data quotas. There has to be a reason why. The only safe thing to assume is that you're on a party line, and just like in old time Soviet Union, the cops are listening.
Slashdot Mirror
Funny, I'm the only one in the room...
Until we learn how to make the internet peer to peer, there will be no 'privacy'. I don't know why that's so difficult to understand and/or accept.
*sigh* You're a blast from the past...

Even a retard like Trump isn't entirely wrong about resisting them...
Right?
*sigh* That's for the Chinese and North Koreans to deal with.
Man! You'll pull out any distraction you can to avoid seeing the elephant.

Viable alternatives to Huawei on operator level are really either NSN or Ericsson. Both are EU based manufacturers
And there you have the basis of their "fear". The just want to make sure that *what goes in the EU stays in the EU*

If it proves a point, who cares where it comes from? Sorry to rain on your constant "RussiaGate" conspiracy theories.
Sorry, you don't ever leave Facebook...
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good...
Robots on the march!
We're here! We're queer! We don't want any more bears!
The robots are working like a charm...
Does Amazon sell rocks too?
Yeah, right... we all know how that works

In a gadda da vida, baby!

Because now we're in the future.
I live in a cardboard box, you insensitive clod!
But I wrapped it in aluminum foil so nobody can steal my Lexus.
The only thing virtual is your privacy.
We're not allowed to use straws anymore..
The matter isn't "dark", it just vibrates at a very low frequency.
He's very tall, you know
I know, I know
He looks even taller because he has high blood pressure

You mean to say that many people actually believe all that "privacy policy" bullshit? Rhetorical question...
