Sorry, but this is on the level where I'll never trust EU... I rather liked this organization but this makes no sense.
Like, which children to protect are going to be manufactured this time?
If it is any reassurance, not even the EU trusts the EU to control internet security: Parliament voted this down in its position, but member states are trying to bring it back. MEPs are fighting to ensure control remains with browsers.
I think the EP voted down Chat Control for now, but this is a different thing.
It did, but we are also fighting against eIDAS. I'm told last night's deal supposedly solves the problem, but I'm waiting for the text myself. (I worked on eIDAS in Parliament, my committee (Legal Affairs) recommended the complete deletion of Art45.
Let's hope so, feels like orgs were able to build up a reasonable amount of pressure in such a short amount of time.
