Pirate Party is a label adopted by political parties in different countries. Pirate Parties support civil rights, direct democracy and participation, reform of copyright and patent law, free sharing of knowledge (Open Content), data privacy, transparency, freedom of information, free education, universal healthcare and a clear separation between church and state. They advocate network neutrality and universal, unrestricted access to the Internet as indispensable conditions to some of this.

We need to put a nail in the coffin of Chat Control (CSAM) in the EU.
We need to put a nail in the coffin of Chat Control in the EU.
Chat control, as it is called, is part of CSAM. It is a regulatory effort to combat child sexual abuse. The part that includes preemptive check of all communications is undemocratic, totalitarian and plain crazy.
They (EU members) believe that it is possible to check all images and links before sending, for content that falls into the CSAM category, and flag it for check by an EU authority. They even have technical specifications for the algorithm.
Computer Scientists and others have warned them that this will not work, on top of it being a privacy rights nightmare.
However, conservatives believe this is feasible. It has support from the likes of Orban, who is trying to pass it before his 6 month EU presidency lapses and who is an aspiring dictator. The Greek government (where I am from) also supports this. Not surprising, since the ruling party has a history with listening in to private communications and there was even a recent scandal involving the central intelligence agency (yeap.. we also call it CIA) listening into the communications of ministers, reporters, MEP and others.

Seeking feedback from members of pirate parties that use liquid democracy
Hello,
I'm considering liquid democracy as a means through which my union could vote on topics, and collect feedback from its members. As such, I would like to know to how it's worked out for Pirate parties in the world that have used such a system for these purposes.
Thank you,

I propose that we hold another, but longer, blackout.
It’s clear that the two day blackout has been a major flop. But I think that we should try again and keep going.
I propose that we hold another blackout, this time for two months. The blackout will start on the 4th of July and end on the 4th of September.
If you see this post, then please share this with other subreddits and ask the mods of those subreddits to hold another blackout.
