🚨 BREAKING: Chat Control BLOCKED in EU! 🎉

Germany just refused to back the EU's mass surveillance "Chat Control" regulation after public pressure! This blocks the required majority in the EU Council and derails next week's planned vote.

NICE JOB EVERYONE! 💪

Germany remembers that Stasi was a bad idea, where as certain other countries' governments arecall "let's try that again, but with modern CCP-inspired surveilance technology".

Unfortunately it's not that simple. Even in Germany - and especially with the current conservative government - there are many who are lobbying *for* more surveillance and it's a constant struggle to keep them at bay.
