EU Council has withdrawn the vote on Chat Control - Lemmy.World

Moritz Körner, Member of the European Parliament, disclosed the decision on Twitter. Swedish publisher SVG said, “The question was removed at the last moment from Thursday’s ambassadorial meeting in Brussels”.

Wasn’t this rejected once already? Perhaps if they wanted to do something useful, they should pass something that says that if something is majority disliked twice or something, then it should be withdrawn and not proposed again for at least 100 years.
They will keep trying again and again and again. The assault on privacy has been going on for decades and it will never stop.
You’ve gotta defend for an infinite amount of time, but they’ve only gotta succeed once.

Yep, and as I pointed out in another comment in this thread, Chat Control isn’t the only piece of legislation like this that’s in the works.

Considering that the extreme right just won big, I have no doubt that one of these fascist surveillance packages will go through. Yeah, at first it may be used for catching criminals, until it isn’t

Actually it was the Left wing that mainly voted yes for this. Just saying.
Doesn’t change who’s in charge now
I believe all parties in EU are not really understanding technology in general. So I think it's a very bad decision to give these people power over these kinds of rules. They just have no idea what they are doing frankly.
Yep, no disagreement there. This sort of mass surveillance is a fucking terrible idea no matter who’s behind the wheel
exactly, they these people are constantly trying to come up mass surveillance, over and over and over again. Never ending story.

There are pirates. Well, after last elections it seems to be the pirate. Only one.
