As largely expected, #ChatControl will soon be back.
Voted down several times already, last time just a couple of weeks ago, Denmark is now trying to bring it up again and reach a deal by December.
Let that sink in. Europe has many priorities on its table right now. And yet the EU Parliament is stuck discussing the same thing again and again because some governments really love surveillance.
Other topics - the war in Ukraine, support for Gaza, the environmental crisis, the loss of productivity and growth, the stagnating birth rates, the threat of the US sanctions on one side and China’s aggressive exports in response that pose a further threat to the competitiveness of EU economies - all take a backseat.
Spying on citizens’ conversations and weakening privacy for everyone is so important that it’s worth to slow down progress on everything else and discuss the same thing 3 times in a year until it gets through.
Had we shown the same determination on Ukraine and Gaza, we could have ended those wars much earlier.
