Make your voice heard. Tell your government that chatcontrol is not something that we will agree on!

Is this what democracy has become?

It's exactly the reason why I stopped playing OSRS. For those who don't know, it's an old MMO that allows people to "vote" on changes to the game. Except that if something doesn't pass, they just change a few words around until it does pass. That's not democracy, or even true voting.

The choices are biased. It's like asking why Hitler was a great man and keep getting people to vote until the result is "Yes, Hitler did great with the Volkswagen" and boom, a narrative is created by democratic vote. It's a joke. And YET AGAIN I have to send a mass email to all 30 of my countries representatives in the hope to fix democracy from the ground up.

Fuck you chat control.

Fuck all the ones in favor and the ones who keep working on getting it passed.

Fuck you.

Thx for the OSRS reference, makes it more real.

Once again I need to make everyone aware

OSRS is a great example because it's extremely obvious with their new skill votes. It made me realize a lot about the politics around this chat control proposal.
