The UN “hopes” governments and platforms will implement it voluntarily. But he doesn’t go into what the alternative to voluntary implementation might be. #censorship #un
Despite Lagarde’s assertion that concerns about the state using CBDCs to control and restrict purchases are a conspiracy theory, the deputy director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), an international financial institution that all the countries in the EU are members of, has praised CBDCs for allowing government agencies to “program” the currency so that money can be “precisely targeted” to determine what people are allowed to spend it on. #cbdc #europe
Has Israel learnt nothing from history? The application of this law will legitimize intrusive, round-the-clock surveillance, effectively turning public spaces into potential arenas of intimidation. #privacy #surveillance

“Anthropologists around the world will quite rightly find chilling this declaration of war on dissent and on scholarly controversy. It is a profound betrayal of the AAA’s principle of ‘advancing human understanding and applying this understanding to the world’s most pressing problems,’”
If nothing else, the #biden clan is a bunch of grifters. 3 generations moved into The White House to live the high life at taxpayer expense. #bidencrimefamily #corruptpoliticians
A Fico campaign ad mocked the PS party's LGBT-catering stances, depicting a character similar to PS party leader Michal Simecka wrapped in a rainbow flag as he decides which school bathroom to use. "While the progressive Misho (Michal) decides whether he is a boy, a girl or a helicopter today, for us gender ideology in schools is unacceptable and marriage is a unique union between a man and a woman," #slovakia #ukraine
