🇪🇺 Telegram sent this message to all its users in France regarding Chat Control. People must know the names of those who try to steal their freedoms:
Today, the European Union nearly banned your right to privacy. It was set to vote on a law that would force apps to scan every private message, turning everyone’s phone into a spying tool.
France led the push for this authoritarian law. Both former and current Interior Ministers, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuñez, supported it. Last March, they declared that police should see French citizens’ private messages. The Republicans and Macron’s Renaissance group voted for it.
Such measures are supposed to “fight crime”, but their real target is regular people. It wouldn’t stop criminals — they could just use VPNs or special websites to hide. Officials’ and police messages wouldn’t be scanned either, since the law conveniently exempts them from surveillance. Only YOU — ordinary citizens — would face the danger of your private messages and photos being compromised.
Today, we defended privacy: Germany’s sudden stand saved our rights. But freedoms are still threatened. While French leaders push for total access to private messages, the basic rights of French people — and all Europeans — remain in danger.

In China, all citizens are required to have biometric digital IDs—linked to the country's vast AI-powered surveillance grid, which includes hundreds of millions of facial recognition cameras.
Even the most trivial aspects of daily life—including boarding a train or using a vending machine—require biometric identity verification.
Citizens with low social credit scores are algorithmically restricted from travelling, accessing financial services, enrolling their children in certain schools, or even purchasing basic goods and services.
This is the kind of world the West is sleepwalking into if mandatory digital ID is ever allowed to get off the ground.

Important point.
Watching Moldovan TV coverage of the elections last night I saw a more educated, factual, civilized and sober analysis than I saw for the whole American election in 2024 from all sides of the political spectrum.
Democracy is becoming more valued in Eastern Europe than the US and American media is in shambles.

I first went to Moldova 10 years ago and I was shocked with the level of poverty. I felt I was teleported in to Romania in the early 90s.
I went many times since then, including last year after a full term of pro-EU Maia Sandu's presidency and some EU aid packages.
The country is still poor but the difference between 2015 and 2024 was night and day.
Moldova has hard working people and great economic potential. The reason they were poor for so long is because they were under the Russian boot and led by Russian aligned stooges.
Today Moldova votes to outgrow it's Russian past and realize it's potential or to sink back into misery and poverty.
It's a pretty simple choice.
I have faith in our Moldovan brothers.

🇮🇱🇺🇲 Jewish billionaire Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle, CBS, CNN, and, now, TikTok wants data centralization and total surveillance:
"Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly watching & recording everything that's going on."
He is the man behind the digital ID push.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb calls reforms to UN in his speech:
"No single country should have a veto in UN.
A Security Council member should also lose its voting rights for a fixed period if it violates the UN Charter."
💯🎯 Our president couldn't be more right!
