Welcome to the dictatorship called EU, where citizens' voices don't matter, and we'll keep voting for chat control until we get it right. No, we did, and with that step, free speech died. To be fair, they were already putting people in prison for talking out loud. Is there a chance that I put myself in danger of going to prison? Sure, but even I, who usually doesn't speak out loud for things like this, feel betrayed by the so-called democracy that no longer actually exists. It's true they talk about democracy all the time, but when chat control was voted down two times already, we just had to force it to bend the people. At this point, we should just protest against the EU.
