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.

I wonder what all these anti-EU russian propaganda bots are going to use now to sow discontent against the EU... lol

It was a genuine concern, I am happy with the result

Of course. Nothing is black and white. This was a real issue, but still abused by anti-EU propaganda to weaken us.

Yes, but Denmark gave the opportunity to do so. We know we have enemies that wnt us divided, why bring such a stupid and controversial piece of legislation forward.

There should be blame put at their door for this, we know the trolls will troll that isnt new.

Probably pointing out the imperialism. It’s important to listen to your critics because there can be kernels of truth amongst the bullshit.
