Nothing to see here. A shield for democracy.

Crazy overreach.. very interested in answer to the question that @Toshi asked and am also wondering if it would cause a public outcry.. what steps would European population would have to take to roll it back if it happens to be passed? I guess we don’t have to expect the law to be opposed beforehand cause not enough people are aware?

I hope, but I don't believe that there would be an outcry. Nothing seems to be happening when it comes to such dystopian shit. People are either too stupid to understand the possible consequences, or too propaganda-fed by algorithms to believe they are many enough opposing it. Or maybe really aren't many enough opposing it, I don't know. Plenty of people are aware, and plenty of people have signed a petition against this, including doctors, cybersecurity professionals, adult video industry people, and lots of others, but it wouldn't surprise me if 95% of the general population isn't aware, since mainstream media doesn't report, or if they do, only report that it's for "protecting the children". [This]( is one page with a petition, which I thought was the one I'm thinking about, but I can't find that document with all the people who are against it that I saw, so it was probably another one.

The time for activism, speaking to politicians and appealing to central authority has passed. It's a waste of energy; that is better invested to help our friends and family defend against constant unrelenting attacks on our freedom. Every little bit actually helps improve our immediate environments. If you want more leverage, improve the UX of privacy-tech and freedom-tech tools.
This is scary!
