I just watched the EU parliament plenary and they just voted in favor of Chat Control. I can't understand what's going on in their head. The last speaker before the vote had very good points.
I think we should now verify who voted in favor and have all their communications be public from now on.

If I'm not mistaken, politicians and military are exempted because of reasons. They didn't forget, they reversed it. 🤷
That's my point. They are the ones who should be transparent. The reason they are pushing this, the reason SKG was beaten etc.. They need reminding.
It won't be long before they are at our doors, cap in hand begging for us to tick their name on a ballot paper as we should believe that they are the best person/people for the job.
In my country information about who politician meets in the Parliament building should be open information by law.
It's very common that, if reporter asks for these documents they are suddenly misplaced or accidentally burned. It's already a joke a this point.
If they are doing shady shit, they could just go somewhere else.
Whole idea is just to give a middle finger to transparency.
Nobody is liable to those records and they want to keep it that way.
You don't just need laws for transparency, there also always has to be consequences throughout the line. It feels like everything that is passed these days, doesn't have any.
