So many pieces of shit on that show, like Kutchner and rapey Masterson
Yeah. Kutchner is an ongoing thing though, Europe hates him, they are using kids getting abused to try and break all encryption and run everything said and done through their half baked ai threat detection. As if it would end with child abuse. Israel, the environmental protesters against big projects, climate protesters will all immediately be on the chopping block and we all know it. Then everyone else.
So called chatcontrol, the umpteenth iteration proposed and defeated in europe as Kutchner's group, backed by Big Tech Money, but also with their own software they want to sell to sift through formerly private messages, and their networks of fake child safety organizations tool the well intentioned people that trust them, and propose bringing the trojan horse redesign behind the walls all the time, for decades now, and they've gotten close.
Same with age checks, they are being used to lock down the internet further and put everything done or said in a dossier on each person with ai making threat assessments on them, and that information filtered down, without attibution, to everything from banks, to cops and courts, to your search engine, to the digital price tags hooked up to ai and face recognition giving "personalized prices" on the spot. 1984 style but with tech those bastards couldn't dream of.
Someone should really give Seth the seed money to start his rival Tv Show, Tomahocked. It's a short pilot episode here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNlY9ZqwmBI
Oh yeah, trust me I know. That fucking "Chat Control" bullshit just refuses to die, even though AI detection has been scrapped for now. I'm 100% convinced our "leaders" will push it on us after this current marginally watered down version is in use.
Ditto with age checks. The Finnish far-right government just managed to push that through, zero chance it won't mutate into something worse eventually
