Well, people wanted even more alt-right representation in parliament, MEP support for the entire package of policy "Chat Control" is part of is now higher than ever. There is a lot more "for the children" policy coming up.
- anonzzzies 2y agoYeah, although really no-one of the 'regular people' (well, I have even educated programmer friends saying it's good to catch criminals) care/know (they glaze over when I talk about 'another tech blah') about this, they did vote the people in who like this kind of stuff (and probably are somewhere making $ with it).
- gillesjacobs 2y agoThis isn't necessarily true: the Identity and Democracy faction is explicitly pro-privacy, digital rights and against Chat Control. - https://id-party.eu/program/ https://id-party.eu/program/ (ID Party Official Site) - https://idgroup.eu/news/online-censorship-is-a-threat-to-european-democracies-april-23-2024 https://idgroup.eu/news/online-censorship-is-a-threat-to-eur...

- pgraf 2y agoFYI, 84% of ID has voted pro chat-control in 2021. https://mepwatch.eu/9/vote.html?v=134463&eugroup=ID https://mepwatch.eu/9/vote.html?v=134463&eugroup=ID
- gillesjacobs 2y agoI stand corrected. Guess all that posturing about privacy was all empty election promises then. Seems like only the Greens, the left and within ID the AFD voted against.
