Crazy to think they were even considering it. Hopefully this is the end of it.

From what I understand it was withdrawn as a vote „in favor of the goals of the commission“ was not guaranteed. In part because Germany announced its decision to withdraw support yesterday. Seems to be standard behavior.

Until next try in a few months.

What i read here sometime without source, that secret services since Snowden push for breaking of encryption, seems more and more plausible.

USSA - totalitarian total surveilance since 2007 or earlier.

China - totalitarian total surveilance since the beginning.

Russia - totalitarian total surveilance since 2016.

You know, even Russia doesn't look that bad. Also, fuck Putin, Yarovaya, Milonov and fuck FSB/NSA/other spying organizations.

Moritz Körner, Member of the European Parliament, disclosed the decision on Twitter. Swedish publisher SVG said, “The question was removed at the last moment from Thursday’s ambassadorial meeting in Brussels”.

Who are SVG? I have never heard of them before and I can't find anything online.

It looks like they might have meant SVT (Swedish public television). This article has similar wording.

I was thinking they might have meant SvD (Svenska Dagbladet), who are a news organisation, though I didn't see any corresponding articles.
