Objectively: If it would be mandatory for every service, many more messages would be scanned increasing dramatically the error rate.

The main problem that we will have with the proposal in its current form, will be the mandatory age verification. Even for a common person there is a increased risk of data breach if it have to give its documents or biometric data to open an account for every messaging app.

Seems nice.

The idea is good. I think that the biggest obstacle will be having e-government and bankong apps working properly. Its true that a lot of privacy enthusiasts are not going to use them extensively but these are still features that most common people would need on their phone.

We don’t need an app for everything. Humanity have dealt with mesturations for millenniums without them. Even locally stored data can be used as evidence if the device falls in wrong hands.

The best way to protect your information is to keep them in your head.

Yes, actually there is a legal way to do this through the European citizens initiative. If you can organise a campaign across EU countries and obtain enough support, the commission must consider your proposal.

Unfortunatelty, its difficult to be heard because people does not really know about this posibility and usually understands it like a petition, which is not. Even very organised groups struggles with it, but theoretically is possible.

Same here in Italy, they just never spoke about it. Unfortunately it is very difficult to raise awarness on these issues in the general public. People will generally ignore it until they will not feel directly impacted by it.

In my opinion it is not possible to fight climate change while maintaining the same standards of life that we have now. Even if we are going to try, this will probably not be followed by many states with big population, so probably its not gonna work. From what I see, everyone is fighting climate change today by posting stuff on their social medias but when it comes to change habits, its another story.

Anyway, my idea is that we don’t have to ban things like cars and airplanes but we can use them more efficiently. We can repair more and buy less. Do we really need to change a car after 100.000 km? In my country, If you live in a big city you can use public transport most of the time, so why we don’t start to connect well also the small places?

Do we really need to buy fruits and vegetables that comes from other continents and needs to be chemically treated, transported, stocked and consequently generates pollution?

In the consumer technology Sector people usually changes their computers and phones every 3-5 years even if the hardware is still working well. The software is usually becoming more heavier over the years without adding real features (See Meta’s apps). We must accept that this is not compatible with fighting climate change because we are producing too much waste that is avoidable together with massive exploitation of resources. The majority of users are not educated to understand how our technology works at its most basic level, I think that we may start from here.

Maybe we cannot erase billionaires but we can stop adulating or hating them and giving them unnecessary notoriety.

In my country we still use textbooks. Its true that carrying just one laptop its easier but kids must also learn how to write and read on a real paper. I personally think that Introducing too much screens and technology in schools is a mistake. It comes at the expanse of handwriting and it risks to cause addition problems. Then, companies like Google does not really respect privacy rights of their users and this is one reason more for me to not make my kids stay away from them.

This doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t teach how to use technology at school. It must be done in a way to make kids aware of how a computer/smartphone really works.

I found a game called Dark Cloud in one of these demo disks. Still today is one of my favorite games. Unfortunately is not very known due to bad marketing.

It depends a lot by the style and the trainer. I was training Go-Ju style Karate for 9 years and had a positive experience, while I had a negative one with a different style years before. All martial arts has a lot of different styles that can be very different between them. In my opinion the important thing is to find a school that doesn’t have too much people and where she can be actively followed by the trainer. Then, it also depends if you are looking for a sport/competitive experience or something more traditional. In my case we were training it as a martial art and went rarely to competitions.
