Per exemple, la llei ni tan sols esmenta les armes letals autònomes… Estic segur que és degut a que els lobbies i els estats que negocien amb el mercat de les armes estan totalment en contra que es prohibeixin i, per a mi, això desprestigia molt aquesta llei. Un exemple: el sistema Lavender, que decideix quins objectius ha d’atacar l’exèrcit d’Israel. Els mateixos que van desenvolupar aquest software admeten que fa un 10% d’errors, de falsos positius; és a dir, que detecta com a possible objectiu algú que no ho és en absolut; creu que una persona pertany a Hamás quan no hi té res a veure. El 10% de 37.000 (3.700 persones), que es la quantitat d’objectius que el sistema va determinar que tenien una alta probabilitat de ser membres de Hamás, van ser atacats essent completament innocents.

Censorship in Europe: Major Palestinian news channels banned on Telegram
Last week, several pro-Palestinian Telegram channels were blocked in European countries, including the “Palestine Archive ??” channel with more than 15,000 followers and the “Resistance News Network” (RNN) with more than 166,000 subscribers. The exact justification of the ban are not known. While Telegram did not respond to a journalistic request, the RNN said that there was no reason for the closure. Anyone who tries to open up the channel in the affected countries now will receive the notification that they cannot be not displayed because they “violate local laws”. RNN and the online outlet The Cradle have spoken of an EU-wide ban.
While the legal basis for the blocking remains unclear, the political reasons are obvious. RNN itself explained to Peoples Dispatch: “We believe RNN was banned because we shed light on the reality of resistance on the ground, which upends the mainstream zionist narrative.“

Kind of hilarious how people in the west would always claims that the differentiating factor between them and countries like China was freedom of expression. Turns out what was really happening was that majority of people in the west were just swallowing their state propaganda uncritically, and there was no need for heavy handed censorship. Now that the state is losing control of the narrative heavy handed measures are promptly introduced.
As always, the west is no different from its adversaries, but people in the west are gullible enough to think they're special.

Last day to sign a European Citizen’s Initiative to tax the rich.
Not looking good.
*sigh*
Thank fuck the French Revolution didn’t require people to sign an online form or it might have all been just too much effort for some folks.

No surprise if people aren't signing an on-line form: with all the scams going around, it is more likely that I'd ignore one based on the idea that it is better to be safe than sorry.
Maybe it is better in Europe, but it is so bad in the U.S. that I'd quip that our national motto should be "Scams R Us" given the texts and emails I get.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •: as an European, the whole SuperPAC/data about electors is completely unbelievable.
As is the fact that so many people don’t vote (in my country, elections always happen on Sunday and it is mandatory to vote. You can be fined for not voting)

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •The same reasons it's not illegal to prevent people from voting entirely because it is not illegal to prevent people to vote at all, because some whiner politician thinks they MIGHT vote blue.
These are people who bought land purely to prevent Trump's illegal wall. It's a case of 'you stop first entirely and I'll storp entirely'
