ruination

I'd imagine if, say Signal, refuses to comply and gets banned from the EU, one could always use a VPN. I think that nothing short of either a full global ban or implementing a version of The Great Wall of China would allow these ridiculous laws to be enforced. Even then, there will always be ways around it for those willing to go the extra mile.

Honestly, they could at least wait and see what happens in the UK before proposing something similar. They literally have a free guinea pig next door.

It's such a shame though, since as far as I know, the EU have had such an amazing track record. I'd expect no less from big tech, but not the EU.

I wish people who proposes laws and regulations that violates human rights with provable intent to do just that would be fined or imprisoned.

Even more reason for me to never get a car!

Are adblockers even illegal? I didn't think it was.

I know that some manufacturers ship QubesOS, those are intended for people with high threat models afaik.

I tend to think of it this way, personally: stealing is wrong, but it's more acceptable to steal when you're poor than when you're rich. Both sides are committing attrocities, but one does so to opress while the other to liberate themselves from opression. I will acknowledge that my understanding of the conflict is very limited though, so this might be oversimplified or outright incorrect.

Don't forget about malvertising, that's probably a more imminent danger. If Google and other ad companies don't give enough of a shit about user to actually filter out malware ads, why should I give enough of a shit about their revenue to not use uBO?

Ah, that's understandable. My native tongue doesn't really have gendered pronouns so they/them feels right at home for me (though ironically, the people in my country are mostly conservative and bigoted and wouldn't accept nonbinary)

I keep it simple and default to they/them unless they mention some specific preference. Doesn't matter if they appear to be very traditionally masculine or feminine, or anything in between.

I agree, but I don't think the studies themselves are to blame though, they're simply reporting the facts. OP just simply misinterpreted it, knowingly or otherwise. The studies back up the point that 'vaccine injuries exist' which I don't think anyone is arguing against. The important point is rather that 'Covid is significantly worse than any vaccine injury, and our system can take care of the latter but not the former'.
