God fucking damn it not again This is, what, the fifth time in ten years they try to pass shit like this?

They generally don't and won't stop until there are real repercussions for that, like losing your political career/being canceled in society over voting for it.

They only need to succeed one time. People are generally preoccupied with a lot of other things right now, so maybe this is their lucky shot…

As Juncker, ex president of European Commision said, you keep trying till it passes at some point. Good luck revoking it later…

The problem is people behind the curtains will just pick another figure head. And we can’t even get the names who want to get rid of privacy. Since names of people pushing it were redacted for their privacy :D

Ah, the marvels of modern democracy. No serious way to enact change, politicians still do whatever the hell they want, and we still believe that voting for someone else will change things.

It’ll soon be like the UK, that if you campaign against this kinda stuff, the party in power publicly calls you a paedophile. Because only people with something to hide want privacy.

Privacy is a losing proposition. Governments have the perfect trojan horse (child safety) so it’s only a matter of time before massive surveillance is the norm.

Is Europe sliding into feudalism? The impression is that the government/megacorp complex are the lords, everyone else should accept their place as a serf and do whatever they’re told.

Where is the difference to the US, China or the UK?

Governments often try that kind of nonsense. Usually against organized crime, terrorism, child abuse.

But in the end it’s just used for the heavy crimes like copyright infringement
