The EU officials are not elected by the people. Some of them are absolute idiots. The people pushing for this will continue making adjustments to Chat Control until one of the countries changes sides. The media is absolutely right.

There always seems to be some kind of corruption amongst the governing class. And even if the government is technically guided by the people, this dynamic gets ultimately manipulated to further their authoritarian tyranny.
A lot. A. Lot.
All that trouble to clown people… uses “alot”.
Kills me 🙃😘
Thank goodness for no Chat Control. Shit’s straight-up Bozo Time.
They’re bound to try again in a few months.
What politicians want and what the public wants are often totally different things. People vote on a few hot-button issues like immigration, and for stuff that gets less attention, politicians do what they want. So calling attention to chat control likely made a significant difference.
As a swede, I’m so embarrassed that my country supports this shit.
just like y2k was just a media hoax, since it didnt happen?
Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.
Uuuuh... This place is a breeding ground of heavily biased propaganda. Just look at your feed, it's all news articles reinforcing a side of things. It's got its fair share of users that don't look at things from a broad perspective and most get mad when they perceive their opinion is being challenged, even when it's not. That's why it's riddled with posts that aren't for interest; they're rooted in agenda that is to either push narrative or reinforce ego.
And if your filter lists aren't full of users, communities, and instances, it's very plausible your mind my be one that's easily duped, because the shits got to be one of the most obvious places on the internet to spot it. Part of the Lemmy experience is maintaining and customising the feed.
Lemmy is a perfect example of the often unspoken side of propaganda: when you’re surrounded by people who all seem to share the same opinion, you’re far less likely to speak up if you disagree. In extreme cases, this leads to situations where the majority actually disagrees but stays silent, falsely assuming they’re in the minority. That’s how a vocal minority ends up controlling the silent majority - and it’s exactly why authoritarian governments try to silence the media. This is why freedom of speech and a free press are so important, and why silencing dissenting voices, even with good intentions, ends up mimicking the tactics of authoritarian regimes.
he's confused but he's got the spirit
Can't someone pick the shitty parts of this proposal and push it to a vote, so it can be struck down already?
the fuck kind of dumbass bullshit tankie take is this?
