@echo_pbreyer Thank you for all your efforts, this is an amazing development!

@echo_pbreyer I saw for the first time, today, Swedish media (svt.se) talking about Johansson and her discussions with lobbyists. Until now, I heard nothing.

Ylva Johansson (S) i utfrågning om lobbying efter ”Chat control”

Den svenska EU-kommissionären Ylva Johansson (S) frågades ut i EU-parlamentet under torsdagen. Hon och flera andra medarbetare anklagas för att ha låtit sig påverkas av lobbyister i den kontroversiella frågan kring en ny lag som skulle innebära att all digital kommunikation kan övervakas.

Until now, I heard nothing.

That is, I think, one of the biggest surprises of this near-catastrophe: mainstream media weren't interested, or were suggested to shut up about it.

@Patrick Breyer Great news! Thank you so much for your work, you've put a lot of effort in getting this disastrous proposal off the table. Europe would have been screwed if this were to become law.
@echo_pbreyer Thank you for your hard work on this.

@echo_pbreyer Great news! And great work!

@echo_pbreyer Maybe don't post opaque Twitter redirection links to Mastodon?
