What's the chance of this actually passing? Aren't there are a lot of stupid proposals in most legislative institutions that never make it out of committee?
The article is light (read: empty) on details regarding its chance of passing. Even details like which committee are we talking about are missing. Which MEPs sits on it?
- tazjin 8y agoLast time I read about this it sounded like the chances of it passing seemed high. Check the "Where the member states stand" chart on this MEP's blog: https://juliareda.eu/2018/05/censorship-machines-link-tax-finish-line/ https://juliareda.eu/2018/05/censorship-machines-link-tax-fi...
- Svip 8y agoBut was that with the amendment introduced on 25 May? The original article says the proposal was introduced on GDPR Day, I assume that means 25 May. That blog post was last updated on 25 May. Was that before or after they had taken the temperature for MEPs' stance on this new proposal?

- Svip 8y agoThank you for the link. Is it possible this is a negotiation ploy? Introduce something outrageous, so people will focus on that, then 'give in' on that proposal just before the vote, it will be seen as a victory when the main bill - without the proposal - is passed, despite the bill itself being heavily flawed in its own right.
