Denmark reportedly withdraws Chat Control proposal following controversy

Its like a ocean wave, crashing against the cliff, year in, year out, proposal after proposal, waiting for that final atrocity, justifying pushing it through. The white cliffs of Dover, with no plan on how to regain one day that land, once the crisis subsides. And no mechanism to prevent a permanent crisis, because the controls justify the manufacturing of endless crisis.

Well, we do have the ECJ as a corrective: https://ccdcoe.org/incyder-articles/eu-data-retention-direct...

Unfortunately the ECJ’s orders aren’t strictly followed and they recently pretty much indicated they could support an atrocious law like ProtectEU. Perhaps to save face.

Courts are always the last line of defense, there is no way of avoiding that. Rights are never absolute, but have to be balanced against each other, and the courts are the arbiter of that.

Aside from that, raising public awareness like the Chat Control initiative did is the way to go. And voting in the EU Parliament elections.
