You don't need to understand German to understand this deception.

In the unmodified LIVE clip (that is shown at the end for comparison), you can see Javier Bardem saying "No to war and free Palestine".

When German state TV "Tagesschau" reported about it, they cut out the "… and free Palestine" part.

What Germans who watch their BBC-equivalent are seeing is Javier Bardem saying "No to war" and then Tagesschau cutting away with the comment that Javier Bardem was one of the few who offered a political statement. Referring to the "No to war" part.

With German TV being like this, and most Germans getting their news from Tagesschau (German for "the day reviewed"), one doesn't need to wonder why most genocide deniers on Mastodon are German.

Outraging that I as a German have to pay ~18 EUR each month to finance this state propaganda.

A major victory -- although the fight still isn't over. From the article:

"In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years. Pressure is now mounting on EU governments to respect the MEPs’ vote and bury untargeted mass surveillance in Europe once and for all....

Based on today’s mandate, trilogue negotiations between the EU Parliament, the European Commission, and the Council of the EU are set to begin as early as tomorrow. Negotiations are taking place under extreme time pressure, as the current interim regulation authorizing Chat Control expires on April 6. The EU Commission and the vast majority of the EU Council—except for Italy—have so far categorically rejected any restrictions on untargeted mass scanning."

It's also worth highlighting that this is also a victory for the EU against US tech imperialism:

"The push for Chat Control is heavily driven by foreign-funded lobby groups and tech vendors. The US-based organization Thorn, which literally sells the exact scanning software in question, spends hundreds of thousands of euros lobbying in Brussels. The tech industry has officially lobbied side-by-side with NGOs for a law that ensures their profits and data access, rather than protecting children."
