Until they ban encryption...

They want to ban encryption? Let me guess, is it for the "safety" of children?

Yes, but it failed the latest vote.

Not saying someone won't try again.

Gotta keep children “safe”… In reality that just means making it easier to watch over the adults taking care of said children :P Lol. Begone Privacy!!

Well the parties in question are trying this for almost a decade. Mostly the "conservative" party from Germany wants total surveillance. In my eyes they are more right than Conservative

Germany is one of the countries against the current chat surveillance proposal, so at least we have that going for us (which is nice)

I'm not sure what is chat surveillance protocol but whatever would be the result any benifits will probably only apply to EU citizens. I recently heard of how Russia's biggest XMPP server was MitM'ed, it was hosted in Hetzner

It feels like everyone wants to eavesdrop on everyone else, preferably, or at least on everyone who's not proteted by the local law. Still the US is a worse case of the spying on everything alive, I guess

The same people that want VDS, despite multiple consecutive judgments up to EUGH level against it?

Politics is complicated. The CDU is trying to enable spying on citizens for years. Which doesn't mean people in the EU from Germany must share this idea.

Lots of stupid stuff gets proposed by members too, but generally it does not pass or gets vetoed by someone.

I thought it was tanked after the real sponsors was found out

Who the real sponsor was? Maybe I can read the whole story somewhere?

Not necessarily the same people that advocate for the different ideas.

Until any country ban encryption. Looking at you, USA.
