(No, just keep on. These kinds of regulations were long overdue)

    EU has its many flaws but they pretty much doing their job in regards of consumer rights, human rights and protection of personal data.

          If Article 17 (Upload filters) didn’t make it through I cannot see chat control making it (even tho I think we shouldn’t even let it get so far)

            The worst part about chat control is that they proposed it without having a single clue as to how this would be set up, let alone managed and controlled.

            Them not being able to give clear answers to absolutley valid and fair questions just breaks more trust in their competence.

            Anyway, next I’d like them to ban anything that can be considered factory new e-waste, like cheap usb fans that break after a month, or keychain speakers that don’t even sound good. There’s so many things in production that just don’t have any business existing.

              Yeah, it was the same way with upload filters… Me and the boys were protesting, experts were saying it wouldn’t work yet the EU politicians kept being stubborn…

              Yeah, I think they should ESPECIALLY ban these non refillable vape sticks… I mean, the batteries are practically unused yet it’s more or less useless after being emptied. And there’s always the refillable option. (No vapes would be best, get off that sh***)

        Unpopular opinion: most migrants come to Europe from safe countries. We should absolutely 100% allow people who flee from war zones to take refuge in Europe. But most migrants who currently cross the border illegally are coming from places like Turkey or Morocco. Is there a war tearing these countries apart that I do not know about? I agree, asylum is a human right, but it’s just that: a right. It’s not an obligation. People abuse that right and then complain they’re not handed stuff on a silver plate.

        If Europe went to war right now, like in the good old days, I’d flee to safety as well. No doubt about that. But I’d be happy to take refuge in the nearest safe country, not try to get into Canada illegally, just because I heard it’s a nice place to live.

          That’s not an unpopular opinion, that’s just a sheltered opinion. A few things you need to get out of your head:

          1. That so called ‘safe countries’ are safe for everyone. This doesn’t say anything about those countries, it only says how little you know about them.
          2. People seek asylum trivially and are choosy beggars for going to X country (doesn’t matter where, this kind of sentiment is always the same)
          3. Europe going to war was ‘the good old days’.
          4. That Europe isn’t at war right now
          5. The act of being born in a ‘safe country’ makes you more deserving of it than other human beings
