Why was chat control allowed to be presented again in the first place.
this is the real thing, this is almost certainly unconstitutional.
greedy corps going against law as usual.
No, not really. It's because they retracted the proposal before going to vote, because they knew it wouldnt pass after Germany publicly said they would vote against.
Then they changed some stuff and send it again, which is now rejected as it seems.
Now they need to wait, but they didnt before.

Oh, sorry. Thought you actually didn't knew, my bad!
