A handful of EU MEPs keep pushing backdoored encryption and it keeps getting veto’d.
There are two legistive bodies in the EU, one is only allowed to propose law, the other is only allowed to vote on it.
Lots of braindead laws get put to a vote, theres no requirement that they get through.
I understand that raising the alarm is helpful, but it would be helpful if people took a second to understand how the EU works, the politicians involved and how their motions are perceived by the rest of parliament.
- arlort 2y ago3 actually, (the second body you described can be categorised as bicameral) Which would be pedantry if it weren't that one of the two chambers is much more in line with the former
- inglor_cz 2y agoChat Control isn't pushed by a "handful of EU MEPs", but the European Commission. Notably, it can be agreed upon in the EC using qualified majority, unilateral veto doesn't apply. The last time they tried (in June), the qualified majority wasn't reached, but the difference was slim.
