This time.
Next up: tomorrow.
Certain death tomorrow is better than certain death today.
I share your pessimistic view on what this win means, but don't get disheartened. It is still a win for privacy and citizen rights.
The thing is that the presidency of the Council will change (I remember reading: from Hungary to Poland) at the beginning of 2025. Now look at the map which sides Hungary and Poland are on.
Thats hopeful
Yes, this time... but we won again and i think it is important to remember that. i think this will be brought up again but we need to spread the word when it is happening and stand up again and again when it is happening. We need to win everytime but the politicians only needs one time "democracy" it is called.
Politicians do not understand or care about consent then:
No means no, do not ask again, we will let you know if we want something so stop bringing it up.
Also agreed: Representative democracy isn't true democracy and leads to problems like this.
