    1. It’s ironic that those who push to destroy privacy, have their names redacted from official documents to protect their anonymity. 

    2. Should this come to fruition, I am 100% becoming a wumao. At least China’s totalitarian control measures come with high speed rail.

    3. For the record, this is not voted by the people of Sweden. Its voted by elected politicians here.

    4. Totalitarianism is about the rise in popularity of radical and populist parties that will destroy independent institutions.

      But this law is disgusting, yes. E2EE must be protected (and everything you write on public social networks must be treated with the same responsibility as if you said it on the street).

    5. I’m surprised that Italy with our neofascist government is against. Or maybe they’re just afraid it would be used to expose some white collar crime.

      Nothing has passed. There’s a huge difference between the council and the Parliament.

      Last two times this got posted it got deleted by the mods. Let’s see how long they keep this one up. 🙂

      How nice it is when a law that interests the right lobbies is repeated endlessly, not to mention that politicians are exempt due to „professional secrecy“, the thing that scares me is that no newspaper in my country is talking about it.

    9. I contacted my local MEP’s and I may as well have written an email, printed it, and stapled it to the wall of my local centre for the blind for them to read because their responses would’ve better reflected the gravity of the situation and they wouldn’t even know what I had written.

      I swear only the moronic and the power hungry are attracted to public office.

    10. Can someone say more specifically what was passed at the council and how it changes the status quo?

    11. eu is becoming dictatorship like North Korea, but still blames Russia and china for censorship issues)))

      What are you, a russian troll? Chat control should not pass, but this in no means would turn the EU into a totalitarian region. If you care about totalitarianism, start speaking out against RUSSIA and the USA, where the real dangers are.

      If this passes we’re no better than China. At least in China we’d get totalitarianism with a high speed rail and skyscrapers

    14. Chat control would maybe a bigger mistake for EU than Brexit was for the UK.

      And it is one more act of war from outside of EU, to fight us without weapons, from within.

    15. 2018: Your data is important so we are gonna pass the GDPR law to limit amd regulate the companies handling them

      2025: so, we wanna like monitor every chat you have, everything you say because… kids..

    16. This was talked about in r/Bulgaria yesterday briefly. Turns out thay whoever tries to reach out to out politicians, they simply block the emails. So our dumb motherfuckers choose to be deaf and blind, and we are too out of reach to do anything at all.

      Active protests should be organised in front of the Council of EU in Brussel. This is the only way to be heard.

      I don’t have any illusions that its gonna work, but I’m doing it out of spite

      Instead of spying on citizens, why don’t we start spying on politicians to see who is paying them?

      I mean, not that I completely disagree with the title of the post, but you’re literally showing that individual member states are voting for the totalitarian proposal, it hasn’t even gone past trilogue yet.

    20. How can we be taken seriously when talking about human rights when every „liberal“ country votes yes and the no comes from Italy and Poland rofl

    21. I’m sorry but sending emails will do nothing what we need is go outside and manifest. 

    22. How come that in Slovakia out of 15 there are 8 opposing yet Slovakia is labeled as supporting ?

    23. Poland will not sign it, Tusk’s first government almost fell because of ACTA, so he will not take that risk

    24. Unfortunately, privacy has very few advocates among liberals or conservatives. Government tends to side on increased control and increased surveillance regardless of who is in power. Doesn’t matter if you’re in Europe or the United States, you can always count on these to pass and that will remain true unless the people voting on it personally fear some stake in it.

      Anyone who thinks this may be a good thing to „protect the children“ or to „curb Russian disinformation“ or whatever… Consider this: What happens when the next Hitler rises somewhere in Europe? What happens when the next genocidal dictator has direct and easy access to everyone’s personal messages and their identities connected to everything they do online, on GPS tracking devices everyone keeps on them at all times? Are we really so fucking stupid we think that can never happen again?

    26. Can’t wait until all chats are of good morals™ and government sanctioned.

      People: „Let’s make an organization with almost unlimited power.“

      The same people: „Why this organization wants chat control?“

      Which privacy we are talking about? The bigtechs has control all over our data. All of it. Try to save a single .docx in your PC, try it, it is almost mandatory to save it in one drive. The keyboard in your phone? Gboard. Your pictures all over clouds. Your behavior in social media? Each little parameter is noted. I’ll not even mention the social engineering produced by ragebait all over internet.

      Europe is taking a good step with this. China has their own social media, search engine and gps. It is not by chance that it is thriving while the west struggle to explain why nazism is bad, vaccines work and that the Holocaust happened.

      I am a simple man, I see the Big techs crying I know it is the right thing.
