Europe champions digital freedom and its open source community.

We have introduced a tailored approach to boost open source development across EU countries and ensure it is safe from cyber threats.

We only apply security rules to software used in commercial activities.

We are also creating open source software stewards to support security with a light-touch regime and no administrative fines.

And what about #ChatControl 1.0 ?
You’re not completely making fun of us, are you?

The Commission (career bureaucrats+indirectly elected officials) proposes laws, Parliament (directly elected) and the Council (member state representatives) pass these into law. They are entirely separate institutions.

The Commission has no control over the opinions of a party group in the Parliament. The only thing we can do to get rid of these people is to vote them out.
@kriom @EUCommission

@sab @kriom Yes, the Commission shouldn’t be blamed for Parliament actions, or individual MEP actions. They should be blamed for their own role in, for example, ChatControl.

They invite criticism of all kinds, though, when they say they speak for ā€Europeā€. The one muddying the waters can’t really legitimately complain when people can’t see you properly.
