If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Do as I say – not as I do. That’s the essence of a leak that claims to expose high-ranked EU officials as more than simply politicking hypocrites when it comes to implementing the extremely controversial legislation affecting online privacy and encryption. Namely‚ interior ministers from EU member countries reportedly want to exempt themselves – but not only – from the looming Child Sexual Abuse (CSAM) Regulation (aka‚ “chat control“)‚ expected to be adopted as early as in June. Pushed by supporters as being exactly what it says on the tin – the proposed new rules are at the same time criticized as a vehicle for indiscriminate mass surveillance of everyone’s online communications‚ and a way to weaken true encryption deployed by platforms – a vital component of internet security‚ once again‚ affecting everyone who goes online‚ children included. German member of European Parliament (MEP)‚ Pirate Party member‚ and lawyer Patrick Breyer‚ who has been investing a lot of time and energy in drawing EU public’s attention to the dangers that come with the regulation‚ is now quoting leaked documents published by the French site Contexte‚ which may or may not prove the context of the already troubled proposed rules‚ just got even worse. That’s because‚ according to Contexte‚ “EU interior ministers want to exempt professional accounts of staff of intelligence agencies‚ police and military from the envisaged scanning of chats and messages.” In addition to ministers‚ police‚ and spies‚ anything that’s labeled as “professional secret” is also supposed to be exempt from this highly invasive (when it comes to everybody else in the EU) type of content scanning. In a statement‚ Breyer’s take on the revelations is that these officials are well aware that chat control scans are “unreliable and dangerous snooping algorithms” – and yet have no problem “unleashing (them) on us‚ citizens.” Regarding the “professional secrets” provision – Breyer calls it “a lie cast in paragraphs.” “No provider and no algorithm can know or determine whether a chat is being conducted with doctors‚ therapists‚ lawyers‚ defense lawyers‚ etc. so as to exempt it from chat control‚” he writes. And he seems to think that what might be behind these exemptions is the EU interior ministers worried that military secrets with no connection to CSAM would become “readily available” to the US – likely‚ because of the broad and “leaky” nature of the regulation itself and the amount of data it hopes to access. According to Breyer‚ this provision exempting various officials and their communication “makes a mockery” of the stated purpose of the legislation‚ i.e.‚ protecting children online‚ while the EU‚ instead of looking into best ways to actually achieve that‚ is descending into “China-style mass surveillance‚ and not better protecting our children.” “We know that most of the chats leaked by today’s voluntary snooping algorithms are of no relevance to the police‚ for example family photos or consensual sexting‚” the MEP says. “It is outrageous that the EU interior ministers themselves do not want to suffer the consequences of the destruction of digital privacy of correspondence and secure encryption that they are imposing on us‚” Breyer concludes.

On Tuesday’s edition of The View‚ ABC’s staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host‚ Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) proved once again why she’s a former federal prosecutor. Speaking about the upcoming hush-money trial against former President Trump‚ Hostin proclaimed that she feared the impartial jury would be infiltrated by a Trump supporter who would “lie” by telling the court the contradictory statement: “I hate Trump. But I can be impartial.” Hostin admitted she was “excited” for the trial‚ calling it “a legal nerd's Super Bowl.” When faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin noted “They haven’t even picked a juror‚” Hostin boasted about the jurors who said they couldn’t be impartial: “But that's exciting to someone like me because 50 people said ‘I can't even be impartial‚’ which I admire them for their forthrightness and their honesty because you have to be honest when you're a juror.” But while claiming she “still believe[d] they will be able to find an impartial jury‚” Hostin contradicted herself by adding: “They’re never going to find that.” She then went on to hype how the legal teams were going to comb through the social media accounts of prospective jurors for signs they support Trump: They are never going to find someone that doesn't know about the former twice-impeached loser president. Right&;#63; They're never going to find that. But what I did find also interesting about my Super Bowl that the legal teams will be checking the jurors’ social media profiles to see if they can access the truthfulness and intention of what they said during voir dire‚ which is their questioning.     “And I think that’s really‚ really important because‚ if you start liking Trump‚ you follow Trump stuff on social media‚ are you going to -- can you be impartial&;#63; I don't think so‚” she declared without a consideration to keeping Trump haters off of the jury. In fact‚ her fear was that a Trump supporter would “sneak onto that jury” by lying about hating Trump: HOSTIN: You get one person that sneaks onto that jury with untoward feelings‚ that person can hang that jury. BEHAR: How do you sneak onto a jury&;#63; You have to be called to a jury. HOSTIN: Well‚ you lie. You lie. You say‚ “I hate Trump. But I can be impartial. And I this and that.” BEHAR: I see. HOSTIN: And then‚ all of a sudden‚ that’s the person who won’t vote to convict. While she’s worried someone biased in Trump’s favor would be allowed on the jury‚ she was blinded by her unhinged hatred for him to think a prospective juror announcing “I hate Trump” was the impartial position. “Where are they going to find a jury of his peers‚ how many bloated orange psychos are out there&;#63;” so-called comedian Joy Behar quipped. “Yeah. It’s going to be tough‚” Hostin agreed. The transcript is below. Click &;quot;expand&;quot; to read: ABC’s The View April 16‚ 2024 11:04:40 a.m. Eastern (…) JOY BEHAR: Oh‚ it’s just beginning. SUNNY HOSTIN: I'm not trumped out at all. SARA HAINES: I’m so Trumped out. HOSTIN: This is a legal nerd's Super Bowl. Right&;#63; Like‚ I'm kind of excited about this. ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: They haven’t even picked a juror. HOSTIN: But that's exciting to someone like me because 50 people said “I can't even be impartial‚” which I admire them for their forthrightness and their honesty because you have to be honest when you're a juror. But I still believe they will be able to find an impartial jury. They are never going to find someone that doesn't know about the former twice impeached loser president. Right&;#63; BEHAR: Yeah. HOSTIN: They're never going to find that. But what I did find also interesting about my Super Bowl that the legal teams will be checking the jurors’ social media profiles to see if they can access the truthfulness and intention of what they said during voir dire‚ which is their questioning. And I think that’s really‚ really important because‚ if you start liking Trump‚ you follow Trump stuff on social media‚ are you going to -- can you be impartial&;#63; I don't think so. And I think what could happen in a case like this‚ if you have someone – and we were talking about it this morning‚ someone named Clay Travis sort of telling people to get onto that jury. You get one person that sneaks onto that jury with untoward feelings‚ that person can hang that jury. BEHAR: How do you sneak onto a jury&;#63; You have to be called to a jury. HOSTIN: Well‚ you lie. You lie. You say‚ “I hate Trump. But I can be impartial. And I this and that” BEHAR: I see. HOSTIN: And then‚ all of a sudden‚ that’s the person who won’t vote to convict.

Welcome to Woke of the Weak where I’ll update you about the most woke‚ progressive‚ insane‚ and crazy clips and stories that the left thinks is tolerable and point out why they’re nuts. This week we took a look at what the left considers a great representation of our nation. We started out by seeing our very own White House Press Secretary‚ Karine Jean-Pierre dance around the briefing room. It really screamed &;quot;professionalism.&;quot; We heard from a transgender individual (we think male to female) talk about how he liked getting complimented on his posture but in the same breath decided he didn’t like being complimented on his posture.  A different trans individual complained that penises and vaginas look like penises and vaginas‚ even after genital mutilation surgeries. He advocated that we design trans genitalia to look like flowers or an “abstract sculpture.” The next queer‚ who is apparently a teacher for toddlers‚ insisted that she wanted to “punch that b**ch” when talking about her co-worker that kept “misgendering” her. The tolerant left ladies and gents. The next freak talked about how her womb was like the deep end of a pool: “no children allowed‚ but if they end up there‚ they die‚” she said confidently. It really seems like she loves kids … NOT&;#33; Similarly‚ the next person claimed that puberty blockers aren’t harmful and they should be highly encouraged for six-year-olds. Surely if a six-year-old is convinced that he’s a she‚ the child is bound to grow up confused … confused like the user who wanted to join the military and be a cat‚ like the man who screamed at the camera with bright orange eyeshadow and blue nail polish and like the furry who insisted his dragon persona made him feel “euphoric.” While the left wants you to believe that those clips are what represents America‚ we need to stand firm in normalcy and fight back against this madness.

On Monday‚ MRCTV’s Tierin-Rose Mandelburg appeared on One America News Network’s &;quot;In Focus&;quot; with Alison Steinberg.  The two talked about former TV anchor Katie Couric‚ who argued that former President Donald Trump’s MAGA fan base is full of “anti-intellectualism.” Mandelburg summarized that the left is great about generalizations and will say and do whatever is necessary to remain relavent. Couric’s take‚ in and of itself was “anti-intellectual‚” but it did get her to go viral. So for her‚ it’s not a total loss. Same goes for White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who was video taped dancing around the briefing room. It was very clear how serious she is about getting down to business in the White House&;#33; NOT&;#33; Steinberg also brought up the fact that NPR just hired new CEO Katherine Maher‚ who has a long history of being super woke. Needless to say‚ it looks like NPR‚ the taxpayer-funded network‚ will continue straying away from actual news and journalism and lean into being an agenda pushing machine.  Towards the end of the segment the ladies chatted about a huge scandal&;#33; Kansas City Chiefs football player liked an Instagram post with Donald Trump in it. O M G&;#33; No seriously‚ who the heck cares&;#63; Also‚ who even has the time to go through social media pages to see who is liking what posts&;#63;&;#33; Seriously people‚ get a life&;#33; Check out the segment below&;#33;
