Every day we get closer to an Orwellian society. The United Kingdom may already be one.

    I feel like at least in Germany privacy matters are alive and kicking thanks to GDPR / DSGVO

      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.

            You’ll always find someone fighting for something stupid. I guess in the EU it’s mostly the conservatives pushing for it, who are sadly a bit on the rise right now as it seems.
