Loading ...Europe Votes Against Thought-Policing ‘Chat Control’, Brussels Passes It Anyway…
On Thursday in Strasbourg, 314 Members of the European Parliament voted to reject the return of “Chat Control,” the legal regime allowing tech companies to scan the private messages of roughly half a billion Europeans. Only 276 voted to keep it.
So naturally, the scanning regime won – thanks to a ‘quirky’ voting procedure in Brussels that allowed legislation to survive even though most MEPs who cast a vote opposed it. That should alarm anyone who still believes the word “parliament” is supposed to mean something.
This is how “DEMOCRACY” works in Europe:

UNBELIEVABLE
THE EU TRICK EXPLAINED
Because Chat Control was a proposal from the European Council, 360 votes were required to cancel it.
360 votes represent a majority of all MEPs, not just those present.
The trick was to schedule the vote on the final voting day before the summer recess, when many MEPs are already absent or on vacation. In that way there are not enough voters to cancel the law.
? Hence today’s vote to cancel Chat Control only received 314 out of the 360 votes needed.
In such a flipped cancellation vote, every absentee effectively counts as a vote for the bad law.
The Ursula and co using EU’s own long vacation policy to trick the parliament and push through surveillance is peak EU.
