Yep, and as I pointed out in another comment in this thread, Chat Control isn't the only piece of legislation like this that's in the works.

Considering that the extreme right just won big, I have no doubt that one of these fascist surveillance packages will go through. Yeah, at first it may be used for catching criminals, until it isn't

Nono, it will always only be used to catch criminals, that won't change...it's what makes someone a criminal that changes.

Actually it was the Left wing that mainly voted yes for this. Just saying.

Source? In Germany at least that's not the case, it's mainly the conservatives who push for it. In the original vote, only the greens clearly opposed it. Later on, SPD (center-left) and FDP (liberal) changed course to also oppose it. Couldn't find results for other countries though, so I'm genuinely curious.

I did found: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/ All the red countries where in favor actually. Yellow were in research. Green is opposed.

here is the document itself: https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-11316-2024-INIT/fr/pdf#page=4

Doesn't change who's in charge now

I believe all parties in EU are not really understanding technology in general. So I think it's a very bad decision to give these people power over these kinds of rules. They just have no idea what they are doing frankly.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yep, no disagreement there. This sort of mass surveillance is a fucking terrible idea no matter who's behind the wheel

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

exactly, they these people are constantly trying to come up mass surveillance, over and over and over again. Never ending story.

There are pirates. Well, after last elections it seems to be the pirate. Only one.

Someone won big yachts from Putin.
