This seems to be a warning shot from UEFA letting him know that they have plenty of dirt on him to release if he doesn’t stop thinking he owns FIFA.

Not that they are any cleaner, but it might be interesting to see how it plays out.

What happens if they suggest telling the US supreme court to go fuck itself hard, and the rest of the world agrees with them?

I am not a betting person, but if I was, I would probably bet everything that I own, that Israel have taken well over $656m from them already.

The thing with Zionists… they think that because they have people everywhere the rest of the world can’t do shit about it.

That is going to be tested soon, and we will all find out. Not all dirty politicians are Zionists, even if most seem to be.

I am not 100% on this, but I think that he can go ahead with it without them. I have no idea why he would, and more details have come out since I posted that, now I just think he is scrambling to save himself, but he is probably gone. If he went ahead with it, they would probably fall in line, especially if they started to see profits for themselves. They are predominantly against the idea of it, and that there was no discussion about it.

It won’t really solve any of the other major issues anyway, but will just get rid of him - allegedly one of the worst, but no doubt we will see, if Nasser Al-Khelaifi or Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa take over, with the former expected to, and he already ultimately answers to other people.

The next president needs to guarantee that they will make this option impossible going forward, or could possibly try to do it themselves in another fashion. Nasser was part of the super-league debacle so I am not sure he would get my vote without something in writing first. Infantino won his votes by basically promising extra money to all of his voters. UEFA are a big problem themselves, it just might be better to get rid of Infantino first.

The whole thing is a crooked tower waiting to fall. I don’t think it is a matter of if, but just a matter of when. The world cup will still be in Saudi Arabia in 2034.

He’s holding out until the elections. He knows there’s a slim chance that he mightn’t get re-elected while pushing this. But if he gets re-elected again in 2027, he will be able to sit for another 4 years and will have the time and power to change whatever he wants then.

Hopefully, in this instance it seems that a few of the federations have seen this corruption as a step too far and will have him removed from his position before he can stand for election again.

Allegedly Trumps Lawyers were given access to read over all of the relevant papers belonging to FIFA, granted by Infantino, so they already know what can and can’t be done legally. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that countries/teams are unable to boycott, but should do it anyway.

Relatable, but unrelated to the actual story.

You mean like this?

Why does that sound more like a threat, than friendly advice from a country that supposedly has absolutely nothing to do with this, whatsoever?

They’re their partners in the illegal war on Iran, but (allegedly) have nothing to do with the genocide being committed in Gaza. Maybe they should focus on that instead.

Unfortunately EU are well and truly in bed with them. This is all a smokescreen to make it look like something is actually being done.

Hey Trump! If you don’t want the EU to pretend to be restricting US Big Tech, instead of trying to dupe the rest of us with them, why not ban EU from having access to these amazing US tech firms? See how they like that.

At this stage we know who they all represent. In a three horse race between us, U.S. Big Tech and themselves, there are two winners, and one of them isn’t us.

There’s a much better conversation to be had about governing ourselves, and the sooner the better.

We need to remove the middleman. Voting for corrupt assholes to make decisions that fatten their wallets while pretending to give a shit about everybody else, is fucking INSANE. Think about applying that system to everything else in your life, and watch how it wouldn’t work. EPP getting fat off these new laws and regulations that they are passing through for the people, and all in the name of safety for the childer… 🙄

They sell them on many platforms, but their website is here - https://www.laken.es/

The EPP are the main party that are pushing these mass surveillance laws in the EU.

Find out which parties in your country allign with them and you should know who not to vote for in the next election. They are by far the biggest party in the EU, and have almost every country’s biggest party with them. They seem to be barking down the orders, and the national parties obey the orders. Von der Leyen and Metsola are both in parties under the EPP (I suggest a search using any search engine, with either of their names followed by allegations and controversies).

All of us are aware of corruption, power-mongering and all sorts of other undemocratic, underhanded tactics that politicians use, but the EPP are already acting on another level, and seem to be guided by US Big-Tech, if this is what to expect from them under the EU umbrella then we really should be fighting harder for our fundamental rights and freedoms that the EU alleges to value so much.

What i cannot see is if there is any possible middle-ground.

Almost every campaign, or anti-loss of privacy article or site that is fighting against this sort of thing, shows examples of much better options that allow for protection of online shit for kids and other alike, while maintaining other users privacy. This is all about data, nothing else. Do not kid yourself otherwise.

EPP - “European People’s Party” are by far the biggest party in the EU, they are riddled with allegations of corruption and seem to think that they can literally magic up laws and ignore how they got there. Von der Leyen is in the EPP as is Metsola, as both of their national parties are aligned with the EPP (even if they weren’t, they all would believe it advantageous to be part of them). There needs to be a serious overhaul of rules and regulations to stop the dirty underhanded tactics that the EPP are forcing through at every turn right now - the majority of MEP’s that did actually show up to vote against killing chat control, just so happened to be with EPP and S&D 🙄 .

The seriously undemocratic way that Metsola forced through an unprecedented vote on chat control when 113 MEPs were unavailable is fucking laughable given the way that she has spoken in the past about fighting for democracy.

The current transparency regulations are shite and there is no such guidelines in sight to protect us. Stop Killing Games was undoubtedly stopped by corruption, and things are only seemingly getting worse with Big Tech involved, this is just the latest crap. I don’t even think there is yet a list of names that appeared at the Ubisoft event.

EPP has already become too big for their boots, and I would encourage people to check out their own national elections to see who is aligned with them in their country and discourage others from voting for them.

What the actual fuck…

The current employers, the third generation of the Brasil family, have reached an agreement with labor prosecutors under which they will purchase an apartment worth $30,000 for the victim, “fully furnished and equipped with household appliances,” according to a statement from the Labor Prosecutor’s Office. They will also pay her an additional $10,000 in compensation.

Maria was exploited for 55 years by three couples spanning three generations: first two retirees, then a lawyer and a civil servant, and finally a veterinarian and another civil servant.

Every so often, Brazil is shaken by the rescue of a domestic worker who has spent decades in slavery-like conditions in the home of an outwardly respectable family. The stories follow a familiar pattern, differing mainly in the details.

It’s deliberately vague, even the politicians found it confusing. It’s bleeding corruption.

From HERE

“It is a temporary exception that lets U.S. tech firms scan direct messages on services such as Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Gmail and iCloud without a warrant or prior suspicion.”

It basically allows any company to scan and read any of your messages that they are able to.

Because of the unusual procedure, voting in Strasbourg was confused and chaotic. One member told Parliament Vice President Sophie Wilmès: “We don’t know what we are voting on.”

The vote means member countries must now decide whether to accept the Parliament’s changes. If they do not, and propose a different version, the law will go to a dreaded “conciliation” procedure. That procedure was used earlier this year to pass a long-stalled law on air passengers’ rights but, other than that, has not been used since 2013.

Wondering how and who voted what? (It’s mainly the EPP Party pushing it, but others are too)

HERE IS THE IMPORTANT BIT: (Because it is a “proposition de rejet”)

• 🟢 🟩 Green means AGAINST Chat Control 🟢 🟩

• 🔴 🟥 Red means FOR Chat Control 🔴 🟥

HOW THEY VOTED

Jesus. I was better off not knowing.

From OP article.

The BBC set up a new alias Instagram account in India after noticing the platform was pushing sexually suggestive content even when users had not searched for it.

Who the fuck would be searching that?

Rhetorical.

No wonder so many are moving from Telegram to Max
