I’m still fucking mad the Left voted yes for this. Campaigning on a no and then turning their coats immediately after the elections. Disgraceful, and I hope whichever party members are responsible get booted.
They are just delaying the vote for another time… Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won’t be a huge backlash of discontent.
If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.
Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.
In 6 months Congress just renames it the “I love kittens” act and sticks it on a must pass bill.
Fighting bullshit laws is exhausting…
Don’t be surprise if it reappears as an attachment to a fishing quota law or a law defining sizes for underwear…

Sounds very Putin.
Actually, this is a common occurance in the US and EU. One of the previous, court-captured laws actually was riding with fishing quota regulations.
Hungary will take the EU presidency, they just name it “child protection” and will smear everyone as a pedophile who objects it.
Find the politicians by name who voted yes for this, and display them in public.
Let the capable open source community then take over going through their phones, since they must be OK with their phones being scanned, right?
At least some of them were discussion giving themselves an exception from it. So no.
All the more reason to find the friendly neighbourhood blackhat gang

Hah. Now imagine someone calling China to hack their phones.
*wink wink
Winking would be more appropriate if it was Russiя.
What would the Chinese like then?
Hahahaha. Dunno. +50 social rating, bowl of rice and catgirl?
So I assume that since it was withdrawn, this doesn’t set a precedent and it’s only a matter of time untill they try to sneak it thru with a different name.
Now put in a law saying you can’t do that
Lets gooooo🔥
(It has happened in the past, it will probably happen again in a few months, but still, its a win!)
Great choice, now do not say the same thing next year!
I am suspicious they realized that they weren’t going to be able to make a loophole for themselves - I’ve seen several articles in the last week on how they were trying to do that.
Nah it’s more like that got caught being hypocrites
Anti-privacy doesn’t see hypocrisity as something bad
Crazy to think they were even considering it. Hopefully this is the end of it.
From what I understand it was withdrawn as a vote „in favor of the goals of the commission“ was not guaranteed. In part because Germany announced its decision to withdraw support yesterday. Seems to be standard behavior.

Who are SVG? I have never heard of them before and I can’t find anything online.
