Although the chance of getting a large fraction of the population to use a decentralised censorship resistant messenger is low, it's still higher than the chance of somehow stopping the Eureaucracy from continuously pushing authoritarian policies.


> Eureaucracy from continuously pushing authoritarian policies.

There is no "Eureaucracy", Council decides, countries may or may not implement.


Countries could face penalties if they don't implement or follow EU regulations.

Are not governments of member states in control of Council?


Council is shadow government by elites.


What does that mean? I thought that commissioners were nominated by governments of member states. Similarly like they nominate ministers inside those states.


> stopping the Eureaucracy

I think that people are no mentioning enough that there is a specific country:

DENMARK

which is leading this effort. Not saying that there aren't plenty of EU bureaucrats who support Chat Control but this is not primarily some "top-down" EU thing. Its a specific subset of countries trying to impose their dystopian ideas on the entire EU.

If the EU parliament and court of justice are the main institutions that can stop this if countries like Germany etc. just rollover.
