Good News! I was so afraid for our future in Europe.
Losing freedoms in our modern times will lead to just another authoritarian state, which will eventually lead to shit.
In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.
Good news. However shouldn't that also include online age verification?
Maybe I'm misreading, but it seems like this only applies in the context of sex crimes. I see no reason based upon the wording that they couldn't do it for other things even with this in place
Once and for all... until the next vote?
Yay Europe! Genuinely happy for you folks.
Maybe someday we’ll have freedom and privacy in the US :’)
Halt! You have gone below the mandatory threshold for nationally mandated jingoism. An ICE unit has been dispatched to your location to bring you to the RFK Right-To-Labour camp.
The beating will continue until moral improves.
Shit, I've heard so much gear mongoring about this for so long. Also on here.
The EU's stance have never been anything other than no chat control. All everyone else have pointed out are proposals not even reaching the votes, or got voted down.
I get that you are afraid that the EU would do it anyway and pass the proposals. But they never did, and even if it got voted for today, it's not even final and needs to go to the council who is openly against it.
But so nice that this is FINALLY put down.
It's always better to be worried for nothing than not worried for something you didn't pay enough attention to. Even if something fascist has no chance of passing, you should still resist it as loudly and as aggressively as possible, every single time.
Glad to know. I'd rather be overly cautious than overly careless about privacy, tho (looks across the Atlantic)
Hell yeah! Great to hear that
The war over civil rights is continuing, no questions but this has been an important vote against the surveillance state ambitions.
