1 monthtl;dr, they waited for the opposition to go on holiday and then pushed through a special resolution that required them to vote no in order to not pass. It’s shady as fuck.

It’s almost like our institutions and political class across the developed world are acting on behalf of capital and not in the peoples best interests…
Maybe that’s why they all collude with surveillance capitalism to violate our civil rights wholesale, and expand the surveillance state…
These are not the actions of a government “for the people”. These are the actions of criminally corrupt tyrants and traitors who should spend the rest of their lives in prison. The fact that they won’t should tell you everything you need to know about our “democracies”.

Huh, that sounds like there’s some next system level evaluation that can repel it then
The more I hear about The Pirate Party the more I like them.
Are there any Pirate Party representatives in Denmark?

„The Council then sent the file back to Parliament at the beginning of the vacation season, where it was difficult to secure the necessary majority to dismiss it again“
What are we paying these people for? It should be obvious that it is Part of your duties being a member of parliament to monitor and act on stuff while being on vacation.

When I have vacation, I don’t want to be bothered with work related stuff either. I understand their want for a vacation, and they should not be blamed. The system that allows this chicanery is at fault here.
I don’t want to be bothered while on vacation either, but if something happens at work that needs my specific attention someone will find me.
For fuck’s sakes we can’t be taking server rooms more seriously than democracy.
The amended EP position adopts a positive, yet rather cosmetic amendment proposed by the liberal RENEW group that would “exclude communications to which end-to-end encryption is, has been, or will be applied” from the scope of the law.
This isnt cosmetic, this is genius! It satisfies lawmakers who want to make this pass to “save the children” and have no idea of the consequences, and it satisfies the lawmakers with braincells since makes the law inapplicable to secure communications.
I hope this does pass so they finally stop trying to push it through. But since they did pass the voluntary one but are still trying to pass the non-voluntary one, I think they will just try to spam chat control laws until their dystopic aim is achieved.

They still get to eavesdrop on your e-mails.
You know, the digital version of mail.
Guess who used to open and read people’s mail … oh, yeah, the political police of every fucking dictatorship in Europe (both Fascist and Communist) during the XX century.
This is the shit these people in supposedly Democratic nations have enacted.
If you’re a citizen in an EU member state, I suggest you have a look at who are the MEPs in you country who voted for this shit. In mine - Portugal - which had a Fascist dictatorship complete with mail opening secret police, this was passed entirely with the votes of the mainstream parties and even the far-right voted against it.
Why is it the worst part? If the EU admin does not represent its constituents, it should be threatened. Otherwise it ends up being undemocratic rep of various business interests.

Yeah but the UK has been notably more censorious/orwellian since Brexit, so it’s a weak comparison.
(Not that they’ve got many strong comparisons on their side)

How long until they say “people are using E2E to get around this. We need to ban/include E2E now”?
“E2E is just for pedos” incoming.
Me and my friend already set up a Matrix server with E2E. I’m hoping Fluxer will get E2E.

Wow the EU pulls ahead of the US in the competition to become the most comprehensive surveillance state

So the EU made everyone put endless cookie acceptance popups up in the name of “privacy” then turns around and flagrantly violates it in the name of “protecting children”. In the US the only thing that isn’t done in the name of “protecting children” is gun regulation.

I checked the danish votes here and it seems like only social demokratiet (social democrats) voted against this bill. All other stronger left leaning parties voted for it as well as all the centrist and right leaning parties. Truly disappointing.
