1·1 day agoI agree. A proper counter movement is needed.
Big American corporations are heavily lobbying EU council and governments. Transparency is not working, EU council are rolling back on GDPR, massively eroding our privacy, which is irreversible.
With the likes of Trump in charge the US are not trustworthy with any data. The data that they already take illegally is too much.
The UDHR article 12 is supposed to protect our privacy.
We need a counter movement big enough to scare the politicians when they start bending to the Big-Tech. They are not in the least bit worried as things stand now.
Peter Hummelgaard (among others) and his arrogance does not seem even a little concerned about his position.
40·2 days agoSpain, Ireland, Slovenia and the Netherlands (so far) to hold the all new “euramazing competition”
Showcasing undiscovered talent and theatrics from European countries, without exception to prevent any bullshit further down the line.
Not European? Fuck off.
1·4 days agoAgain. For the final time. You. Don’t. Understand. What. You. Are. Talking. About.
That’s a good thing. You can learn later on.
What or why would I refute anything you say? It’s obvious that you don’t really understand boxing, it’s level of corruption and how that exhibition was played out. You have already staggered with attempts to put words in my mouth/text twice that I didn’t mention anything even close to. I have no interest in going any further with somebody showing and starting with those traits.
As I said, you continue thinking what you like, but don’t contaminate other people’s thoughts with your nonsense.
😅😅🤡
You’re only saving grace is that you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.
You keep telling yourself that. Tyson barely threw a punch.
Kid yourself all you want, but don’t try and contaminate the rest of the world with your nonsense.
Tyson reportedly interested in Turki Alalshikh’s offer, never got a reply from Jake Paul.
Never knew that, but I’m guessing he profits from his unlikeable traits, just from what I’ve seen online about him and how he markets himself.
As the sub states - It is just mildly infuriating. But to reply to that - I don’t want to get into a discussion about this, so I probably will just leave it here.
The States that governing bodies oversaw his fights are far more lenient than other places, CSAC, TDLR (Tyson fight his licence was expired and renewed in record time), OSAC and FSBC. Had he not the money and followers, most, or not one of his ‘fights’ would ever have gone ahead.
Other than the people whose jobs require it, I have never spoken to or heard a person that was involved in or heavily fanatical about boxing dare refer to him as a boxer. It is only the clueless ‘casual’ fans, his youtube followers, the marketers and the people that work for them. JFH exhibition bouts were called exactly that, and are not to be confused with his professional career. Jake Paul has only ever had exhibition fights afaik. There is so much more to look at and talk about, but money talks. I just feel extremely sorry for all of the pro boxers that will never get a fair ranking despite being able to (without question) run rings around him without having to train too hard for the fight.
He is a professional exhibitionist or a professional exhibition fighter at best.
I couldn’t name one other single person who has fought most of their professional career against basketballers, UFC, retirees and other non professional boxers that are allowed to call themselves ‘professional boxers’. It brings the already struggling sport into further disrepute. The fixing has now gone mainstream. The Netflix goons talking about the good it’s doing for boxing when it is doing the opposite…
Okay, okay… I am starting to get a little more into this ‘mildly infuriating’ topic than planned. I will leave it there, with plenty more that could be said.
17·4 days agoWindscribe are a bit late to the game -https://x.com/windscribecom/status/1995619967996494334
They are twittering today quoting an article that was published 3+ months ago.
Proton is moving out of Switzerland because of their new surveillance laws. So much for Switzerland being some bastion of privacy huh? That makes Canada a better place for a VPN. Stop drinking the marketing koolaid.
Judging by the direction that Switzerland seems to be going, I am guessing (I could be wayyyy wrong) that Swiss privacy companies are going to be still effective for people outside of Switzerland, soon to be completely free from US big tech spying. Canada are in the 5 eyes, whereas Switzerland aren’t even mentioned in the 14 eyes.
As for Canada being a better place for the Privacy or a VPN, I think Windscribe need to stop drinking their own nonsense.
Tyson was definitely fixed.
What’s happening in Switzerland? Flipping and flopping for the past year. I welcome this latest news, and the similar news yesterday, hopefully it is infectious to the rest of Europe but it completely contradicts things that have been proposed for the last few months, then the sudden change. I wonder did Trump push too hard:
May 14 2025 - Proposed Swiss surveillance law ‘identical to Russia’
June 13 2025 - “A war against online anonymity” – why Switzerland wants to change its surveillance law and what’s at stake
September 11 2025 - Swiss government looks to undercut privacy tech, stoking fears of mass surveillance
November 15 2025 - Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US
November 27 2025 - Switzerland: Data Protection Officers Recommend Broad Cloud Ban for Authorities
…

I guess a wikipedia volunteer decided to classify him as that, and maybe another agreed.

No idea. I guess it would entail trying to prove that he setup, paid and that the fights were mostly scripted.
He has only has 13 fights, hopefully the Joshua fight will finally show him up. ‘win’ or lose.

38·8 days agoBlack Friday isn’t even a thing in Europe, yet I’ve been seeing adverts for for almost a month now, with two week long “sales” to generously allow us not to miss out.
https://www.corporateeurope.org/en/2025/11/roll-back-digital-rights-prepared-secrecy
Yes, that’s the same with many things. No counter movement.
We will see how transparent it all is
https://transparency.eu/briefing-lobby-transparency-in-the-eu/
At a guess, I’d imagine big tech companies are lobbying as most of the information that they use comes from data gathering. Using data directly from texts etc. Leaves them open to court cases.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/12/eu-gdpr-data-law-us-tech-giants-digital
The options are limitless to the politicians regarding money making opportunities pushing x,y and z through once our private correspondence and devices are being scanned.
For example, in years to come insurance companies could refuse to pay out on all sorts of claims using that data. Doctor may have recommended you walk a mile a day and change your diet. You don’t do it, or just miss a day, your life insurance policy is voided. Car crash not your fault, no payout because you missed something else etc.
I couldn’t begin to to guess the amount of ways that this information could be used, but it’s a complete u-turn from what the EU was saying only a few years ago
They still recommend using signal - but only internally.
Which in itself is bizarre.
And exempting themselves from being scanned is just showing what they really think.
The timeline is here
Currently Denmark pushing it, they hold the EU presidency at the minute. Their minister for justice - Peter Hummelgaard is responsible for the big push and the wording. Specifically trying to pull the wool over the general public. Ireland are next (they take over in January) And the minister for justice in Ireland (Jim O’Callaghan) is also in favour of it.
Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights - Right to privacy in the digital age
They play better without him
I hope they succeed, it’s a very tough market.
They probably need a lot of ducks to line up in a row. But the current privacy wave and the push for digital sovereignty in Europe might help.
