You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.
We don't want to be on any list.
And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.
I am afraid what they will do with that.
@bitboxer With the help of IBM? Do you have a source for that?
@SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave I will never be thankful enough to US for helping my country (Italy) to get rid of fascists. Yet I have to say that the fight against racism was all but the target of USA in the '40s. The Republican Constitution of 1948 swept away all form of racism from Italy's law. Other European countries did the same. USA had to wait the '60s for declaring racial segregation a crime.
If you read the black American writers (and musicians) - Wright, Baldwin, etc - that washed up in Paris after the war, the experience they describe is escape from the burden of US systemic prejudice and discrimination. Baldwin was also gay. They spent a lot of time with Sartre and DeBeauvoir - and at the First International Congress of Negro Writers & Artists in Paris in 1956 Wright was the only speaker to complain about the near absence of black women writers. There were very direct, personal lines from the post-war experience of liberation in Europe to the black civil rights, 'women's lib' and gay liberation movements in the US in the 60s.
@zooropa @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt Now the US is helping fascists like Meloni or the AfD to come back...

@SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave maybe you are right.
But, as far as I can see, Musk and Trump are way nearer to what I call fascism than Meloni has never been.
@zooropa @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave Isn't Meloni now also a fascist or at least extremely right-wing?
@leobm @zooropa @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave "She’s often cast as a pragmatist, yet her planned constitutional rewrite and attacks on media challenge the narrative of a benign moderate turn."

Yes she is far right and anti communist/socialist but, at least she publicy addressed fascism as 'evil' more than once. She's a EU/Ukraine supporter and on the "anti Putin" side. Very different from (just for saying) Victor Orban. There are other italian leaders (Salvini) in her same side that are closer to Putin, Trump and Orban.
