Hanlon’s razor isn’t always true, sometimes it really is malice. Considering EU ministers want to exempt themselves from Chat Control, that suggests to me they do understand enough of the basics.

I love the combination of them naming this evil bill "Child Sexual Abuse Regulation Proposal" to make it sound like an obviously good idea, and them asking to be exempt from it. So are you implying you are abusing children?

I'll leave this here. Linked to Dutroux.

You'll leave a link to a blatantly disreputable tabloid news blog?

So what? The source isn't nearly so relevant as the nature of the information presented. It's tedious to see sometimes useful tidbits for possible investigation get dismissed because they're "disreputable".

Can't you find a better source?

Similar accusations have been constant recurring themes since the emergence of the Dutroux case, and from other cases that have emerged since then.

That link was the first random link that popped up, that, from memory, was illustrating the theme at hand.

No, I wasn't willing to do a deep dive into the putrid sewer of child abuse to satisfy the need for a "better" link.

It's upsetting enough to know that these things exist, and I have absolutely no need to make it my area of expertise and focus, for my own well-being.

If you want to, knock yourself off.

Especially considering that governments such as the UK (I know they left the EU but I'm more familiar with them than the current EU members) have a pretty grim history of exactly that.

Using their own bullshit excuses against them, that might actually cause their heads to explode. Of course the rebuttal will be something something national security yadda yadda.

yes, they are obviously to be considered child abusers. thats what I will publicly call ANYONE that supports their own exemption. they are pedos and child abusers, and should them campaigning for their exemption should count as admission of guilt

It’s far more often malice than stupidity, when talking about overreach of power. I absolutely hate Hanlon’s Razor, it’s how we got here.
