Alt rights? You realize this is being driven by the heads of state from mainstream parties, yes?

- isodev 2y agoYes, I know how the EU works. These heads of states also got elected in their respective countries. You don't want to see "chat control" proposals coming from the council of Europe? Then don't elect the likes of Orban/Melonie/Geert Wilders! Next week we're voting for the EU Parliament where MEPs are responsible for discussing and accepting/rejecting proposals from the EU Council.
- mike_hearn 2y agoWilders only formed a coalition about two weeks ago, and he isn't the prime minister so wouldn't be in the Council anyway. As for the others, why do you think these laws come from the council? EU law never comes from the council, it's always proposed by the Commission. There's a list of people who are most responsible for this specific law here: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/s/Q4fRGd1a2e https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/s/Q4fRGd1a2e None of the people on the list are heads of state, as per usual. They are senior members of the Commission and the usual assortment of lobbyists who feed them ideas.
