Content warning: re: UKPol kids banned SUBTOOT

Don't get me wrong, I certainly think y'all should abandon those ten apps and come join me on the free internet, away from corporate ownership in free unowned spaces where no big money players can control the playing-field. Take away from big money that feed that they use to point your kids and you at whatever scape-goat target they want, from migrants to trans people, from the disabled on benefits to kids using mobile phones.
But you're talking about installing a gateway on the entire internet and giving the government the power to decide who is allowed to use it or not.
That isn't going to get you away from those monopoly capitalists, it's going to entrench them and give them a cosy relationship with an authoritarian government that's about to change to being both authoritarian and also racist and sexist and nativist and far-right-wing.
We want to break up these monopolies and decentralize the power they have and destroy all advertising.
This will do the opposite of that. It is an attempt to enclose the internet commons for corporate interests. It will do that.
It can not be done in a way that protects privacy and anyone saying it can probably has shares in Palantir or similar who will expect to be paid to run these government gateways on internet publishing and who will then leak all your data that they lied about collecting.

Die ARD Arena eröffnet am 27. April ihre Türen um mit Markus Söder zu diskutieren. Ich habe mich mit folgender Frage beworben:
Herr Söder, Sie haben mit Palantir eine Software eines US-Rüstungskonzerns in den Dienst der bayerischen Polizei gestellt, die nicht nur laut Verfassungsrechtlern tief in die Grundrechte eingreift, sondern mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit auch die Daten Missbraucht und der Trump-Regierung zur Verfügung stellt.
Warum ist Ihnen die automatisierte R…

Die Bundesregierung plant Gesichtserkennung für Polizei und erwägt dabei US-Anbieter wie Clearview AI.

We call on European governments to: 
Stop signing new contracts with Palantir.
Review and phase out existing contracts with the company.
Invest in transparent, publicly accountable European alternatives.
action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-03-

Say No to Palantir in Europe
A powerful US spy-tech company run by billionaires is linked to genocide in Gaza, helps ICE separate families, and fuels Trump’s war with Iran. And now it’s quietly expanding across Europe gaining access to our data, our hospitals, and our police systems.It’s time to expose it and stop its expansion.
