      German EU politicians are also pushing the chat control BS, it seems like it is only a matter of time until these psychos slip these invasive laws through.

        There are also German EU politicians pushing against it. It’s not like there is a German consensus to it.

          I didn’t say there was German consensus, but the fact that politicians in almost all member states are either pro or considering it is frightening.
