It’s infuriating that there’s no mechanism to prevent repeated attempts that have failed. There should be like a mandatory 5-year cooldown period or something before the same matter can be proposed again. The well-funded interest groups will just keep grinding away until the non-funded regular folk slip up or exhaust their resolve.

Who's buying them? Last I heard, almost all tech companies were against it? Why would they want to install a backdoor for the EU government to snoop on things?

A more informative article. The vote is also Tuesday, not today.
I've said it a few times already. Usually purely in the context of technology but the principle remains. If you do not care someone will be very happy to care instead.
Thank you so much for posting. I am, if possible, even more incredulous and angry than last time. I really thought better of our Union! I emailed my country's representatives, around half of whom...

I emailed my country's representatives, around half of whom are seemingly going to vote for the urgent processing. No articles in my country's newspapers that I can see.

You might find this an interesting read. It's from a few months ago, but it has most of the pertinent information.
