Chatcontrol is once again stopped. Good work again everyone who stood up, this is once again a win everytime it is a win.
Next country that is up for Presidency is Poland 🇵🇱 who are anti-chatcontrol.
My country doesnt pull a w very often.
But let’s go Austria, you do something good for once.Wait, how the fuck are only Central Europe, Finland and Estonia in support of encryption. What the actual fuck people?
I can only talk about France as that one is super obvious to me: They been fighting (peaceful) protests organizers. Like hacking their phones and getting all their data from all the possible platforms, in the hopes of shutting them down using the slightest thing that can get them into trouble.
This time.
Next up: tomorrow.
Certain death tomorrow is better than certain death today.
I share your pessimistic view on what this win means, but don’t get disheartened. It is still a win for privacy and citizen rights.
Cool, glad for y’all.
Hey, now that you’ve taken care of that, we’re having a little fascism problem here in America. We were wondering if you could, ya’know, return that little favor we did for ya in the 1940s?
We’re dealing with a little WW2 style problem ourselves with Russia eating away at Ukraine. Would love to come and help you all, but before we do anything to a country that prides itself in having the biggest stick we gotta clean up our back yard first.
How many times is this now?
Too many
It will be brought up another time until the wanted result is in.
Yarrr! Pirates really deliver.
Also, why Sweeden supports it?
I was also very surprised to see Sweden back this. The Swedes have started changing dramatically since Russian invasion of Ucrain. Neutral for decades now in NATO.
Hey, well the reason is that both the right and left parties both want this to pass. They say its to “protect the children” even if this law would violate the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Also they want to use the crime rate to justify this law of mass surveillance.

not sure about now but the original swede handling the issue in EU was openly corrupt. which is only a crime if you’re a social democrat or further left.
was openly corrupt.
Ah, United

It’s insane that this bullshit can be pushed again and again and again. It gives me some comfort that they have still not succeeded, but they only need to succeed once, and if they are not blocked from putting this forward again, we would have to succeed again and again and again.
Even more insane that almost 2/3 of countries support this.
“You can’t vote a fascist away.”
It would help if European voters stopped behaving like spoiled children and voting for wannabe dictators because inflation or immigration or whatever.
It’s hard to avoid when all our parties are in favor of this garbage.
Then run for election. That’s the point of democracy. If our leaders are bad, there’s no one to blame but ourselves.
Obligatory addendum: A downvote does not constitute a counter-argument.
The problem is countries like Hungary, where 70% of the population is rural, don’t speak a word of English and all they consume is state controlled terrestrial media
Agreed, it’s definitely a problem. And in fact it’s even worse because it turns out that today’s supposedly progressive and well-informed youngsters in fact get their news from TikTok and tend to vote for authoritarian populists even in western Europe.
Again: downvoting facts, sticking one’s fingers in one’s ears and going “lalalalala”, does not make the facts go away. It is an inconvenient fact that far-right parties across Europe are doing particularly well among young voters.
I find it kind of ironic how you complain about downvotes while supporting democracy. I’m not saying whether I agree or disagree with you, I’m not saying either if I think you are right or wrong. But just like in a democracy votes represent the opinion of those who decided to vote. Being right won’t mean you get the votes. You should just accept them and stop complaining about them.
No, adding something useful to the discussion should get you a vote. The fact that other idiots agree with you does not magically make your contribution thoughtful, or insightful, or productive in any other way.
Why it has UK’s map next to EU?
Patric Breyer usually posts in German. The UK flag in the tweet is just to indicate the language of the tweet.
