While it is no good news, it is a little comforting that there is hard evidence that this legislation is backed by money and dirty corporate interests in unlimited mandatory mass surveillance, instead of it actually being evaluated as a solution.

However the article is almost a month old. Did anything happen regarding this? Is Ylva Johansson still in it's place, and if so, why? They should be in prison, not in any place where they would do harm to the EU.
