They will keep trying again and again and again. The assault on privacy has been going on for decades and it will never stop.
You’ve gotta defend for an infinite amount of time, but they’ve only gotta succeed once.

Actually it was the Left wing that mainly voted yes for this. Just saying.
Source? In Germany at least that’s not the case, it’s mainly the conservatives who push for it. In the original vote, only the greens clearly opposed it. Later on, SPD (center-left) and FDP (liberal) changed course to also oppose it. Couldn’t find results for other countries though, so I’m genuinely curious.
The labels get confusing especially between countries, but left and right are normally viewed as being economic policy classifications, but you can have authoritarians on right and left and all need to be fought.
I don’t think that’s accurate, there’s a social axis from left to right too.
I think of authoritarian as being up and down, and social and economic views as left and right. Check out the political compass if you haven’t. It would be nice if it was 3D with economic and social policy being separated though.
I’ve seen the compass, but in real life conversation when people say left or right they don’t exclusively mean economic views. For example, access to abortion or LGBT rights are generally seen as supported by the left and opposed by the right.
You’re right it’s reductive, and really there are many dimensions to political thought.
I did found: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/ All the red countries where in favor actually. Yellow were in research. Green is opposed.

I believe all parties in EU are not really understanding technology in general. So I think it’s a very bad decision to give these people power over these kinds of rules. They just have no idea what they are doing frankly.

exactly, they these people are constantly trying to come up mass surveillance, over and over and over again. Never ending story.
There are pirates. Well, after last elections it seems to be the pirate. Only one.
Someone won big yachts from Putin.
Yes. Technically, a similar vote could repeal the law just as easily but there is a history of governments not giving their power away easily; implementing it also sets a precedent and creates technical enforcement options for other governments willing to go through with something similar in the future, or for hackers to exploit because gov-rooted devices will remain in operation for years after the potential repeal.

2001 especially.
