This means that the proposal has once again been blocked. Wouldn’t have expected that from our government TBH. Nice one!
Anyone who doesn’t reflexively proclaim DATENSCHUTZ!!! at this, isn’t a true German.
Sorry from Sweden! We have a spineless and stupid right wing government right now trying to be best buds with fascists. They just appointed an anti-abortion health minister from the tiny christian cultist party.
Unfortunately allowing for profit schools led to poor education about our history and economics so young people vote right wing and call themselves bourgeoisie now.
It’s fucking embarrassing.
Unfortunately our social democrats are in favor of chat control too, it was Ylva Johanssons idea to begin with.
Yep. They’ve gotten stuck in the ratchet mechanism, moving ever further to the right as their opponent demands it. It’s no longer the party my father voted for. They allowed the privately owned schools that will now be their demise, just so a couple of politicians could make a quick buck.
My vote has been with the Left for the last couple of elections. I think they’ve dealt with problem members (like the embarrassing Facebook conspiracy lady) admirably, instead of fiercely protecting them like other parties. But we’ll see how it turns out by the next election.
What I do know is that another SD+M+whatever government will only lead us further down the same path as the U.S
Hope you guys don’t develope an Americanized healthcare system
I fear that’s exactly what’s happening, little by little. The rich put themselves in the private services and let the public ones go to shit.
A tale as old as time. Perhaps we ought to limit maximum wealth 👀
I really didn’t think this German government was going to oppose chat control. Well, apparently even the broken clock is right every once in a while.
Apparently datenschutz is still a unifying issue
In Germany we schütz Daten, not Menschen. At least that’s what my German co-worker used to say during our project to become GDPR compliant.
And we don’t even really schütz Daten, anyway.
Well it’s what you get when you decide to instill democratic values in every school child for decades. Perhaps we should make note of that?
Someone tell the AfD, its voters and the conservative politicians who are so intrigued by their policies.
The EU made some great decisions. Chat control is NOT one of them.
Small victory for now
Yet again in recent history Germany saves us from our incompetent wannabe fascist leaders.
Yay Deutschland! 💪
Halleluja
German politicians are actually pulling some Ws. Even vdL made some good moves last week.
Good to see, maybe we’ll get somewhere.
Yeah, not happy about the move to make medicinal cannabis more restrictive, but this is a win at least.
Great news!
The dacia sandero?
It’s finally coming to England.
Do you remember when Clarkson finally just gave May a Sandero? Only to destroy it after a single drive
Neutral shouldn’t be in the same as against imo.
I sometimes wonder if there’s something we could be getting behind to tip the scales the other way. It would be wonderful not to have to wait for this to show its ugly head again and instead have the pro-surveilance people on their heels trying to stop a pro-privacy movement.
Why is there almost a north vs south divide?
Woah best news I’ve read today, that’s awesome.
