I was told the proposal the Danes carried forward actually had its roots from Sweden.


Every Chat Control proposal has its roots in Sweden. It originated with Ylva Johansson.

this is an assuaging read. the German government decided it was illegal. reading this featured article, they don't appear to have changed their minds, plus another couple of countries, too. so what are we worried about?


The problem is that it doesnt matter if Germany is against it. If this gets approved in the EU parliament, the countries will have no choice but to agree to it.

That is how the EU works. The time to disagree has come and gone basically.


EU laws require unanimity. if Germany, i.e. by far the most powerful member, doesn't want it and sees it as illegal, it's not going to happen, is it?
