This means that the proposal has once again been blocked. Wouldn’t have expected that from our government TBH. Nice one!
Dobrindt is gonna hate this. Nice!
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 👀
Don’t get tired. They will absolutely come again.
It is tiring and frustrating to know that it’ll more than likely be back. At this point, we need a law that makes sure that this kind of surveillance is never legal. But the hurdles for that are unfortunately way higher than just getting a blocking minority.
Actively not supporting it or just not issuing any statement?
Actively not supporting it, at least in its current iteration.
at least in its current iteration.
That’s the important part here.
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.
Deutschland über Alles!
Bruh…
National anthem?
Hasn’t been part of it for a long time… For very good reasons. Let’s not bring it back please. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to sing that verse in Germany and I’d rather have it stay that way.
Really? I was unaware. I apologize
Sorry for sounding so harsh, I thought this was common knowledge but I appear to be mistaken. That verse was sung under the Nazi regime and essentially puts Germany above every other country and thing in the world. And that was Hitler’s goal after all.
We stick with “Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit für das deutsche Vaterland” since the end of WW2.
Anyone who doesn’t reflexively proclaim DATENSCHUTZ!!! at this, isn’t a true German.
Small victory for now
Halleluja
Something good coming from this government? I can not believe it.
I was thinking: Something good finally came of DDR and Stasi.
They also made great glassware
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.
Yay Deutschland! 💪
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
Nice!!!
