I've been disappointed at the amount of my friends and neighbors here in the US who understand it, contacted their congressperson, and then hung up their hat like the job was done. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago My plan is to move away from things that can be tracked as much as possible. Dropping Android when I can no longer get GraphineOS working, moving to a dumb phone and a data hotspot with a cyberdeck the size of a phone. The gov won't listen on these issues because it is a law giving them more power. No amount of protesting is going to get them to stop spying because it is all supose to be secret anyway. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NGC2346@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago Theres petitions and such going around and people are vocal about it, but no rallying up for it yet. permalink fedilink source parent [–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) Yeah, but then we also need to rally about C-30, that re-authorizes all kind of known dangerous chemicals for the environment but also for our health, and rally against new pipelines, privatization of ports and airports, etc. Move fast and break (every)thing, so when people complain too loudly, it's too late, there's nothing left to salvage, and they're already putting their hand on something else to divest attention from everything else they broke so far. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] njordomir@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago We could break things back. If we truly united, our combined power could almost stop the rotation of the earth. It could certainly grind the global financial system to a halt. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago I am going to give you one guess on who wrote the bill and is pushing the police lobby. All LE in Canada has an existing relationship with this company. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UpAndAtThem@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago (1 child) Yep.
