I‘m not surprised in the slightest given who governs these countries nowadays. They‘re far more right than your average EU country.

I am surprised by Sweden’s Norway and Denmark vote.

Weirdly, social democrat Ylva Johansson proposed the first chat control bill.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame the right in this case.

In the end of the day it‘s the wealthy & powerful VS us. That guy is also not a socialist if he proposes this. Simple as.

Yes I agree. I suspect they were tricked by some higher ups in EU to put the bill forwards as being a socialist idea, selling it to a wider crowd.

afaik denmark isn’t just in favor, but they’re also responsible for pushing the legislation higher on the agenda after it was dropped last time.
i think it’s because the current ruling coalition consists of the “social democrat party” (actually just red flavored populist centerish party) in an alliance with the “moderate party” (centrist flavored center-right wing party) and the liberal (as in libertarianism) party (center-right/right/conservative party), so basically denmark has been under a quite conservative government lately, despite the PM selling the coalition as “across the center”mienshao@lemmy.world 1 month ago

They’ve been reverting a lot of that Nordic socialism due to the usual anti-immigrant rhetoric

And a right wing government here in Sweden relying on a far right party to stay in power, all in favor of heavy surveillance
