Context: Chat Control 2.0: EU governments set to approve the end of private messaging and secure encryption

"By making a minor concession EU governments hope to find a majority next week to approve the controversial 'chat control' bill. According to the proposed child sexual abuse regulation (CSAR), providers of messengers, e-mail and chat services would be forced to automatically search all private messages and photos for suspicious content and report it to the EU. To find a majority for this unprecedented mass surveillance, the EU Council Presidency proposed Tuesday that the scanners would initially search for previously classified CSAM only, and even less reliable technology to classify unknown imagery or conversations would be reserved to a later stage. The proposed β€ždealβ€œ will be discussed by ambassadors tomorrow and could be adopted by ministers next week."

In Czech Republic it's kinda opposite. People nut their pants over paper straws and Coca-Cola caps you can't remove and they completely ignore the bilions of euros EU gave us (there are the built from EU funds signs basically everywhere). Also some populist politicians saw the oportunity in this and for example our ex premier now makes cringe Tik-Toks where he shits on EU and green deal, even though he was the premier and his party leading goverment when the green deal was approved and he wasn't against it. Now he says how EU is bad and how it's fault of current government. This was one example, but there are many czech politicians trying to milk the general dissatisfaction with EU, making it even worse.

In Hungary, this is our finest art.

I don't care about politics, I'm talking about actually living there.
