And direct action. Politicians that do not fear their constituents do shit like this.
It is really 'fun' to not only watch the politicians do nothing in our interested bud repeatedly act against it. I wish people were already fed up enough for general strikes.
Has it ever been leaked who it is that's pushing for chat control so hard? It's almost comical at this point
Leaked? It's public knowledge. Danish civilians are just too cowardly to show these authoritarians who are the actual bosses.
Why is it allowed that a rinky dink country with a population of 6 million dictates the privacy laws of an entire continent of 750 million inhabitants?
I am anarchist, I know the answer capitalists keep protecting.
Answer:
Because the system is working as capitalists/bourgeoisie intended.
They hold all chips, you don't.
You are a slave in their eyes.
A means to exploit.

… comrade, everything in the EU is public. Capitalists in parliament are capitalists, their lobby is public:
You are their slave, they are your Masters.
You do not deserve privacy, they do.
No, I was referring to the HLG that helped draft this legislation. We know who in the EU sent out the invitations, but requests to find out who was in the grouo were denied.
This is still (afaik) not public information.
Did you follow the links on the PDFs? Their names & draft sites are all cited throughout the citations.

You're citing from a document criticizing the HLG. These are sources for that criticism.
These are not members of the HLG itself.
This is the most recent attempt. iIRC, some previous attempts have been spearheaded by Spanish right wings (crushing Catalan independence movements)
