Germany is not supporting ChatControl – blocking minority secured

Glad we could delay it for now. It will come back again and again with that high of support though. Also the German Bundestag is already discussing a compromise: https://www.bundestag.de/presse/hib/kurzmeldungen-1108356. They are only unhappy with certain points like breaking encryption. They still want to destroy privacy and cut back our rights in the name of "safety", just a little less.

The bigger issue is that we need to make the EU actually democratic. Start by removing every branch but the European Parliament. That's the only solution.

And neuter the influence of deep-pocketed lobbying entities - US entities in particular seem to spend a lot of money on influencing EU politics: https://www.lobbyfacts.eu/

Wow, Apple paid 7M for 9 people to have 144 meetings with the EC. I'm in the wrong line of business.

On the other hand, I'm thinking can we find 9 unpaid volunteers on HN to do the same?

You're assuming the lobbyists keep that money.
