Good. And now stay vigilant as this will come up again in a year when people have forgotten.

Exactlyโ€ฆ the next 3 presidents (Cyprus, Ireland, Lithuania) all support the legislation, and the three afterward (Greece, Italy, Latvia) are undecided, but their indecision doesnโ€™t seem to come from a moral standpoint. This puts us in 2029 before the leadership (Luxembourg then Netherlands) actually rejects broad privacy invasion on principle.

This assessment assumes no sentiment changes on the national levels, which is of course a wrong assumption. Itโ€™s important to keep respect for private life on the minds of politicians to ~~prevent~~ delay another attempt. ๐Ÿซฉ
