Feels like a strange move, from an American who is used to seeing the EU do things that should put our government to shame.
Are they trying to get the US to join the EU? Lol
Every other year the EU tries to pass another mass surveillance law - and the EU court of human rights rules it illegal.
This one was not passed yet.
The vote was pulled in the last minute, because they didn’t expect to get the required qualified majority. This was among other things due to the German governmant announcing to vote against it.
Germany is about to have an election next year though and the conservative and faschist parties are expected to win, I doubt they would be holding this position. France is also having an election soon with the faschists expected to win big. And their current government is responsible for this law not beeing even worse.
TLDR: It didn’t pass yet, but this will not be the last attempt at passing it.
