This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I wonder what all these anti-EU russian propaganda bots are going to use now to sow discontent against the EU... lol
Europe has pressure to shift the narrative from all systems and institutes have been a part of the parasite class goals, to these concessions. "Noo don't collapse us, we are less rigged". But rigged is still rigged
Why is it possible to vote for something that is against the constitution?
Great news!
Doesn't mean anything yet. Parliament can get overruled by the Council, whom seem more in favor of untargeted scanning.
The commission always got the last word
Finally some good fucking news. Now let's make it so there's no 2.0 3.0 etc constantly trying to sneak this in - we need to enshrine privacy into real laws.
Yay for the EU! Hopefully you guys get a law that will permanently enshrine your privacy rights (or rights to encrypted chats at least).
There is no such thing as permanent laws. And for good reasons.
GDPR already exists, but there is no such thing as permanence in politics. Constant struggle
Good News! I was so afraid for our future in Europe.
Losing freedoms in our modern times will lead to just another authoritarian state, which will eventually lead to shit.
In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.
Good news. However shouldn't that also include online age verification?
No, those things can be done in a completely private way.
Once and for all... until the next vote?
Everything is temporary.
Political participation is a full-time job, keep the pressure on and the change will endure.
Awesome
Can we now put that in some form of European constitution, pretty please with a cherry?
Or we put it on a timer and let it bubble up in some months to reevaluate it over and over again. Wouldn't that be fun?
What is this? Good news? In this economy? It simply cannot be!
This is democracy manifest!
Yay Europe! Genuinely happy for you folks.
Maybe someday we’ll have freedom and privacy in the US :’)
It's definitely starting to feel like having your rights enshrined on unalterable tablets of stone, but which must be re-interpreted by a half dozen political appointees holding a seance with the founding fathers every few months, may not be the platonic ideal of governance that Americans are constantly telling the world it is.
Halt! You have gone below the mandatory threshold for nationally mandated jingoism. An ICE unit has been dispatched to your location to bring you to the RFK Right-To-Labour camp.
The beating will continue until moral improves.
Shit, I've heard so much gear mongoring about this for so long. Also on here.
The EU's stance have never been anything other than no chat control. All everyone else have pointed out are proposals not even reaching the votes, or got voted down.
I get that you are afraid that the EU would do it anyway and pass the proposals. But they never did, and even if it got voted for today, it's not even final and needs to go to the council who is openly against it.
But so nice that this is FINALLY put down.
Says the guy overlooking the other trojan horse of age controls being brought inside the walls. Your analysis is not so good.
That "trojan horse" is nothing but a paper tiger since age control will be managed in a completely privacy-friendly way. It is a non-issue. So that is why it is being "overlooked"
The check will send nothing more than a yes/no verification, and no other forms of identification.
And the information will be managed by a governmental institute that already has all that information.
Jesus christ, you are a mark for some con artist with your naivety, no offense bro. Ha.
It's always better to be worried for nothing than not worried for something you didn't pay enough attention to. Even if something fascist has no chance of passing, you should still resist it as loudly and as aggressively as possible, every single time.
Glad to know. I'd rather be overly cautious than overly careless about privacy, tho (looks across the Atlantic)
A lot of lemmings really hate the idea of democracy actually working somewhere in the world.
Yeah, tankies can't handle it.
The war over civil rights is continuing, no questions but this has been an important vote against the surveillance state ambitions.
Hell yeah! Great to hear that
Maybe I'm misreading, but it seems like this only applies in the context of sex crimes. I see no reason based upon the wording that they couldn't do it for other things even with this in place
