According to a recently published article in the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant, the EU executive launched last month a micro-targeting campaign to push its proposal in the countries that did not support the text in the EU Council of Ministers.
The campaign was run on X (formerly Twitter). The platform subsequently censored Danny Mekić, the author of the article, without providing an explanation.
The countries concerned are the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Slovenia, Portugal, and the Czech Republic, and the ads have been viewed more than four million times. According to Mekić, they showed “shocking images of young girls alongside sinister-looking men” with “ominous music".
Not that long ago, these people would have started worrying about their heads suddenly detaching from their bodies. What the fuck is happening to the world when so few people give a shit about their own freedoms? Privacy is a universal right, but it’s been eroded so rapidly over the last ten years. I just can’t understand how nobody automatically considers the catastrophic downsides of oppressive laws like this.
I guess the fuckers at the top won.
