- nickslaughter02 1y agoThey haven't stopped trying continuously since late 2021. You don't hear about it for a few months only because some countries are more aggressive about it than others.
- permo-w 1y agoit's not that I didn't hear about it, it's that I did hear about Germany and other countries standing in opposition to it, and the EU requires unanimity
- nickslaughter02 1y ago- Going one after another for EU presidency since 2022 these countries were in favor: Sweden, Spain, Belgium, Hungary. Poland didn't want to include encrypted communication. Denmark wanted to include everything (text, links, videos, images, calls) but dropped text and calls after criticism (for now). - Germany is currently not opposed to it (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45273854 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45273854). - EU doesn't require all countries to support it on the council level (or parliament level). You just need at least 55% countries (at least 15) that represent at least 65% of citizens. To block it you need at least 4 countries that represent at least 35% of citizens, we are at ≈22%.
