Finally nice to see Germany's horrific fear of any technological changes be used for good! Someone should fax leadership and thank them!

Germany is not supporting the EU's #ChatControl bill as proposed!
I wish we had a clearer stance against mass surveillance, but apparently we're just not happy with the exact wording or the proposed scope. At some point our conservative voices will go "this is fine".
Chat control needs to die
It’s a complete loss of freedom.
This is the most weird block of countries i have ever seen. Slovakia dosent vote with hungary. Baltics for whatewer reason are for that solution but finland is not . Denmark is for that but germany is against. And somehow the country that is the home of the pirate party votes for that abomination ( Sweden ).
If you want weird, learn who in the Spanish members is against. The only one that have pronounced themselves are the extreme right wing party, against chat control.
Wtf, I'm extremely disappointed in everyone else, I really hate agreeing with those fascist racist pieces of shit...
Honestly shocked that only central Europe and Finland are against it, I mean this benefits no one. The people lose their liberty and nations would experience a complete and total national security collapse. It doesn’t even protect kids! And I don’t even want to think about the false positives… If this passes I’m legit trashing my smart phone, I’m not gonna be a part of this.
That is very surprising, but this time it's a welcome surprise.
There ain't enough green
If you know what I mean
If we can get rid of the red
Chat control is dead
Come on France. Do what you do best and go on strike until you turn green.
On the website it says slovakia is supporting it but on the map they are against?
As long as chat control and similar laws that are coming up, get implemented properly, it will make it much easier to thwart any strikes/demonstrations and similar things.
This way, the legislators can then go back and retry all laws that were previously cancelled due to similar reasons. And then add on more that might be worse for the people, while catching anyone who tries to create awareness and framing them with any one of the multiple ways that they say, they set-up against terrorism/CSAM etc.
