The sentence you quoted referred to national elections, i.e. pertaining to the Council vote. You linked to the European Parliament vote, and that vote actually, if I recall correctly, was to prevent Chat Control (i.e. the harmful prov

Yeah I think you're right, but it's a shame that we have to piece the puzzle together ourselves, and still don't have complete certainty. It's certainly a process where more transparency is possible, as a general point.

That is something you could say about almost any legislation, and it's correct to some extent. That said, politicians do seem to try and predict what they'll be held accountable for, and pre-empt that. So it's not so much the

I'm not so much concerned about the rise of the ID party in this regard, but instead the growth of EPP and decline of the Greens. And possibly also Renew, though I'm not sure where they stood - if they were in favour then I guess

That is absolutely true, and the best thing to do is indeed to wait and see. And cross our fingers.

OK, this is probably some nuance of the English language that I'm missing as a non-native speaker, but I meant that the people that make up the Commission are not part of the national governments. The people that are part of national g

That's always problematic. The best shot you have is pressure your own politicians (at whatever level) to try to strongarm them. For example, US policy has quite a lot of influence on me, but I can't vote for US politicians. Or Ru

We don't get a lot of insight, but we do get some. For example, when it does come up for a vote in the Council, we'll know which countries voted in favour (something you can take into account in your next national elections). Th

The Commission is formed by commissioners, each of which has been nominated by a different nation's government. The Council consists of actual members of the national governments. The third party that can't propose legislation but

That's why I said "almost". But when discussing whether one should be the crime (or whether the other shouldn't), it's hard to go beyond one makes people decide to buy something and the other doesn't. Which o

One challenge is when eg you're doing a code review and see that someone set it up with a non-utf8 column. In that specific case it's probably easy to fix, but it's still strictly extra work even if it hadn't been if it
