I thought they were trying to save money 🤔

Under #Trump, the #Consumer #FinancialProtection Bureau #CFPB has dropped nearly a dozen enforcement cases brought during the #Biden admin, ending lawsuits against #banks & #lenders for a variety of financial practices that the #watchdog agency no longer considers #illegal.

But on Wed, the bureau went a step further: It is seeking to GIVE BACK $105k that a #mortgage lender paid to settle #racial #discrimination claims….

Dezentral – illegal – scheißegal

Es ist schon verblüffend, was man durch das föderierte Internet so für Einblicke bekommt. Es bildet sich wie überall in der Gesellschaft eine Reaktion die sich offensichtlich bedroht fühlt durch den dezentralen und damit (radikal sic!) demokratischen Ansatz. Z.B. Frau Eva Wolfangel nennt sich selbst CyperCyper Journalisten (kein Witz) und fordert, nicht ohne Karl Marx einzubeziehen, das Ende der Cryptowars, die Menschen hätten den verloren, es setzt digitale Verwahrlosung ein, und wir könnten unsere Daten auch gleich Staat, Nation und Kapital übergeben. Was soll da schon schiefgehen.

Außer im Osten, wo wie wir alle wissen, grausame orientalische Despoten herrschen, sollte das ja kein Problem sein. Die Cryptowars sind aber nicht vorbei und man reibt sich ein weiteres Mal verblüfft die Augen, dass es mal wieder der CCC ist, der solche anti-emanzipatorische Sch§$e verbreitet. Natürlich können wir was tun.

Datensparsamkeit – Kryptographie – Dezenralismus. Ich dachte das ist Konsens? Ist jetzt wirklich ne gute Zeit um mit reaktionären Kräften zu diskutieren oder denen auch nur Plattformen zu geben.

Wer das nicht verstanden hat kann das gerne hier nachlesen —-> word.undeadnetwork.de/individu

Teufelswerk!
