@jwildeboer sounds like a statement from the apple keynote πŸ™Š

@jwildeboer I think we reached a point where you could put in any big tech company and would be correct...

@jwildeboer What has the European Union ever done for us...

Reply Guy

@Znexhf_Svax @jwildeboer requiring the Brits to use the same line as the Americans at boarder control, worth it.

@jwildeboer we're working on bringing the Torment Nexus, but its kind of like your fault, you silly privacy fans
Michael Porter

@jwildeboer @lisamelton American techie: β€œHere’s how you can hack your phone to delete the Torment Nexus”

Jer-Bear

@MichaelPorter American govt: "actually, hacking your phone to delete the Torment Nexus is a felony"

@jwildeboer This text should be required in a pop up that you have to swat down on every website on every visit

@jimfl I thought hard about adding #MicroFiction to the toot, but decided against it …

(If you are more talented than I am and want to turn this into a comic or dialog box meme: go ahead! From my side it’s #CC0. Just a sentence, go make it yours :) The original Torment Nexus meme was created in November 2021 by Alex Blechman. See knowyourmeme.com/memes/torment

Ohhh, come on. You know you all would like some Torment Nexus over there in the EU. Look how awesome it’s been for us here in the states.

And no, the Torment Nexus isn’t compelling me to say this. Why do you ask?

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net context? (i'm assuming there was some bad thing that's only allowed in the eu now)

Meanwhile, US Congressional Republicans:

"And so to protect innocent children, our bill will mandate that all online access utilize the Torment Nexus"

Democrats:
"If we oppose this, will it make us look like we're against protecting children?"

@jwildeboer They're gonna miss out on all that good Nexus content.

@jwildeboer here comes a Torment Nexus preferences popup on every web page

@jwildeboer It's amazing how well that sort of line works though. People don't see "OMG, some places are allowing a Torment Nexus." They see "how dare the EU have laws against tormenting people! We should have those laws abolished!"

I hate to say, but the meme is a good one.

@jwildeboer Americans: Sucks to be European, I guess. Welp, back to the Torment Nexus.....OH GOD THE PAIN

@jwildeboer i use a VPN to ensure I can access all the torment.

@jwildeboer It's a shame that GDPR prevented us from enjoying the Torment Nexus (although some might argue it should have never been created...).
However, we at Torment GmbH are happy to provide you with several working Painstations in Germany which - being airgapped and offline - are fully GDPR compliant. See your local HNF (cku.gt/zObnb) or Computerspielemuseum (cku.gt/6iG2a). ;-)
