There are more parties who defend internet privacy then just the pirate party. Won't matter much tho with the current rightwing majority.

Is the incoming majority particularly anti-piracy? I thought they were more fixated on leaving the EU, gutting the "woke" public sector, and rounding up all the immigrants for deportation.

Just to make things clear, the pirate party isn't directly related to privacy. Also, there are efforts to render end-to-end encryption illegal right as we speak in Europe. Dark times are coming
