The Stop Killing Games campaign, for example, has noticed that the EU commission keeps repeating lobbyist lies and has no expectations of new laws actually passing, so they're focusing on amending existing law through parliament.

- dyauspitr 4mo agoThat depends on what outcome you’re looking for. I want a fundamental change to internet right now, any change from the status quo is probably for the best.
