It's not the EU yet. It's a group of activists from Denmark. There wasn't even preliminary voting on it yet.
Doesn't mean we need to be complacent of course, but so far nothing happened.

    but so far nothing happened

    Things happens frighteningly fast these days. It's not a matter of being complacent; it's a matter of budding things in the nip. Which won't work. Then tirelessly fight back against it.

    Unless you've been sleeping under a rock these last few… weeks. Not even months. Some legislation can go from 0 to 100 extremely quickly if left unchecked.

    How the fuck can you be pro censorship/pro big brother? What kind of idiot do you have to be? Do they just get bags of money to spout out this bullshit?

    Does having a lot of money exempt you from this shit? I don't get it. I can understand detestable people being pro things that make the poor poor and the rich rich. But this affect everyone both poor and rich. The only one benefiting from this are fascist dictators.

    It's not "Danish activists" but rather the government. As a Dane I know how horny these people are to create a fullblown police/nanny state. SVM (the name for the government) is terrible for all of us. Can't wait to see their voter share drastically diminish at the next election, but clearly they can do a lot of harm first..

    I mean, Danish government comprised of people. And some people there are activists about this particular bullshit, so they're pushing it at every opportunity.
    I should've been more specific that it's not just random group of people, but my point was that it's not the decision of the entire EU (or even the entire Danish government)

    The SVM government as a whole is huge on expanding surveillance and the police force - I don't see that it's just a small group of activists within the parties. I'm just glad other EU countries aren't biting on this bs
