Comment on EU Council has withdrawn the vote on Chat Control

They are just delaying the vote for another time… Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won’t be a huge backlash of discontent.

If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.

Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.

In 6 months Congress just renames it the “I love kittens” act and sticks it on a must pass bill.

Fighting bullshit laws is exhausting…

Don’t be surprise if it reappears as an attachment to a fishing quota law or a law defining sizes for underwear…

    Actually, this is a common occurance in the US and EU. One of the previous, court-captured laws actually was riding with fishing quota regulations.

    Yeah, Putin doesn’t have to hide anything because nobody is allowed to object to any crazy laws he invents.

It happens in the US yes, but does it happen in the EU?

  Idk about the EU(there have been cases that were exactly this, an example would be Article 13), but I can say to you, that this devinetively happens in Germany. Our conservatives party wants to pass a law, that would track and save all your online activity(Vorratsdatenspeicherung/ data preservation) to fight “paedophiles and terrorists” they bring it up once in a while, even tho, our federal court already said, that its illegal.

Hungary will take the EU presidency, they just name it “child protection” and will smear everyone as a pedophile who objects it.
