They're really just gonna keep voting on chat control until it passes huh. Very democratic. Love it

Sounds like it got voted down? Idk I don't have the details but if so: good

Wonder how many months before the next chat control vote. Maybe I should start a betting pool. My guess is 2

@eniko they don't have time, the current provision runs out in a week. This is why they were in such a hurry to vote again. Since this failed, they have to go the long route now.

@oblomov Yes; today's vote was on the existing Chat Control 1, not the proposed Chat Control 2. Despite sharing a name in common discourse, the two are *not* the same.

@eniko

@eniko I personally would like to play golf with the scrotum of the danish minister that first insisted on it, and then billiards with those of the rest of these motherfuckers, who, of course, are taking a cut from the NSA <and> Meta.
@eniko can't imagine a more effective way to radicalize Europeans who see it as a breach of trust to be monitored like this.
@eniko classic EU (and I say this as someone who would prefer the UK Bre-Entered)
@eniko again?? is it the same authors as well?
@ENDERZOMBI102 honestly no idea i try not to pay attention 😞
@eniko i see l, thats good methinks, listening too much to politics is dangerous to mental health...
@eniko it is always like that. Continue pushing stuff nobody besides you wants till they accept it. Extremely sad that this is even allowed
@eniko Literally how the fuck has no one in the EU parliament called this shit out? The next vote will be the sixth time I've heard of them voting on that shit in the past year!

@eniko Its the American way. They will never be discouraged and will never relent.

My best suggestion in my limited understanding as a human being is that the right move is to add the opposite into laws, as it will increase whatever effort they need to force the issue.

Such as make any and all commercial “wire tapping” illegal and make the consequences very severe.

We can never take any freedoms and human rights for granted.

@yon i mean, this is the EU though

@eniko It’s EU but it’s how this whole mess got created here in the U.S. So more of their modus operandi. I.e. a complete disregard for democracy and just relentlessly pushing the exact same things over and over:(

Sorry for any confusion.

@eniko Even as an American I find watching this to be concerning because, while we have virtually no rights, EU policies still somewhat protect us even if by accident sometimes. I think to some extent this must surely apply to other countries as well. I was pretty shocked in a good way when the GDPR passed and then disappointed again when "Chat Control" came up and wasn't thrown out immediately even though it violates the GDPR. If it ever gets through, we all truly enter 1984 times.
@eniko brexit ass political strats
