I mean, you can say that, but the unelected will decide for us.

Oh when it was just for "easier international trade". What a good one.

They are not unelected. They might be appointed but the parliament is elected and can block this. Go vote in EU elections. A parliament that is not full of conservatives can block this.

The EU is not some US from 30 years ago. It is not "conservatives" that push these totalitarian proposals over here. Look at the DSA voting record.

Digital Services Act:

The DSA is not totalitarian, has nothing to do with this proposal and is generally a good thing. Please don't muddy the waters.

Digital Services Act is totalitarian? The one that specifically doesn't do anything to anyone that has under 10% of all EU citizens as monthly active users?

I swear this website never ceases to amaze me.

Do explain how the DSA is even remotely related to this, I am really interested in the rational behind this entire statement.

> Go vote in EU elections.

EP elections can be fairly useless, because you don't vote for parties of the EP, just some local parties who may all sit in the side of the EP you don't like.

We will just keep not using platforms they control and moving whenever they do.

While I also strongly disagree with this plan, everyone involved is elected.

The whole "unelected" angle is europhobic propaganda.

How do I vote Ursula out?
Re:The EU could be scanning your chats by October 2025 by saubeidl on Tuesday July 29, 2025 @04:39AM (#44720735)
By voting out the conservative governments that appointed her - the same way you vote the US president out by voting out the electors that appointed him.
