Little of column a, little of column b. In this case they were the ones suggesting it to begin with, so they saved us from themselves?…

“They”…
The EU is a collection of people of various political leanings, parties and affiliations. You cannot, in this context, throw them together under one word.

But in this case it was the EU themselves that wanted the backdoors so badly that they ran lobbying ads on xitter “omg can you think of the children”

You can’t really say that.
In principle, a group of very few individuals can make a proposal in the EU, because it’s democratic. It was down voted. By the EU.
It’s nothing different than a bill introduced in every other country, that the majority think is bonkers.

Although in this case, it was the EU who wanted to put a backdoor in every encrypted messenger… Thank god it looks like as if it won’t happen!

A few people in the EU. Nothing close to majority.
Every democratic entity has insane proposals being down voted.

Oh well thank fuck there’s at least some people with at least half a brain left. Now who drafted the legislation in the first place? Cause you guys need to sack them…

Iirc the European commission. There are two of these bodies and the parliament is the saner one.

Most child trafficking would continue anyways. The biggest traffickers are linked to elite and don’t take any chances like selling a child using personal whatsapp.
If you want to end child trafficking, go where the illegal immigration happens and put ground detectives. But no gvt is gonna spend enough resources like in hollywood movies happen.
