Crazy to think they were even considering it. Hopefully this is the end of it.

Great choice, now do not say the same thing next year!
Thank the heavens. Now keep it that way!
They are just delaying the vote for another time... Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won't be a huge backlash of discontent.
If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.
Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.
In 6 months Congress just renames it the "I love kittens" act and sticks it on a must pass bill.
Fighting bullshit laws is exhausting....
Hungary will take the EU presidency, they just name it "child protection" and will smear everyone as a pedophile who objects it.
Don't be surprise if it reappears as an attachment to a fishing quota law or a law defining sizes for underwear...

Sounds very Putin.
Actually, this is a common occurance in the US and EU. One of the previous, court-captured laws actually was riding with fishing quota regulations.
Yeah, Putin doesn't have to hide anything because nobody is allowed to object to any crazy laws he invents.
It happens in the US yes, but does it happen in the EU?
This was exported to Australia from US by NRA.
Idk about the EU(there have been cases that were exactly this, an example would be Article 13), but I can say to you, that this devinetively happens in Germany. Our conservatives party wants to pass a law, that would track and save all your online activity(Vorratsdatenspeicherung/ data preservation) to fight "paedophiles and terrorists" they bring it up once in a while, even tho, our federal court already said, that its illegal.
As much I like the EU, politicians are politicians ...
Happy cake day!
Gosh that was a quick year! Thanks 😁
Cupcake! So sweet and tasty.
Cupcake! Don't be too hasty.
I am suspicious they realized that they weren’t going to be able to make a loophole for themselves - I’ve seen several articles in the last week on how they were trying to do that.
Nah it's more like that got caught being hypocrites
Anti-privacy doesn't see hypocrisity as something bad
