Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 day agoBut even if they voted on it and even if it did pass. European courts probably would have stopped it immediately.
This is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.
That’s not how this is meant to work. That’s a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell’s about to break loose.
I mean duh but similar bad things have passed and got rejected by courts so it‘s a very functional mechanism.
This kind of haphazard approach isn’t going well for the US. We thought we could rely on decency.
You can‘t compare the US to the EU here.
The US has been basically completely flipped on its head in only a few short years into fucking authoritarianism. We have many measures in place to prevent this and they all fell apart. Our system was only loosely held together by good faith. And that faith is gone. And as a side tangent I’m not sure we’ll ever get it back. Be vigilant, it happens quickly.

Maybe, but I’m much more comfortable with it failing as early as possible
