Freedom not Fear

proposal failed in the Council of the EU again today! 🎉

Hungary tried to use its presidency to shame critical governments into agreeing to the proposed mass surveillance by forcing ministers to explain themselves during live-streamed public session. This plan backfired:
several countries took the floor to confirm on the record that this would undermine , attack with and violate fundamental rights!

The video of the session is already available and can be downloaded (full or specific sections) in any language. Let's remind everyone of this when the European Commission wrongly claims that would not be a disproportionate attack on our civil rights, threaten everyone's security and undermine encryption with Client-Side-Scanning!

@ilja Thank you for flagging and for providing the updated link! It is now fixed in the original posts.

@RachaelAva1024 Thank you for flagging, the link changed, now fixed in the original posts.

@fnf Frankly, I find it hard to celebrate such moderate and indecisive responses: "we want this law, just not in this form". There isn't a party out there to even attempt to bury the proposal outright and question its premises
