It took a bit of time but we are finally reaching sovietic dream of mass surveillance. We just need extremist to be in power (oh wait!) so it can be enabled for other purposes and we'll get full powered Stasi.

Well they do keep electing communists in Europe so it makes sense the Soviet dream state is near completion.

This has more to do with totalitarism than communism. ChatControl is getting support from parties labelled as both left and right.

Which countries in europe are run by the far right right now. Most governments are still decidetly center-left even if people are finally standing up to them with their votes.
