    Nothing screams “democracy is a joke” more than voting on things, amirite guys?

      Voting again within a month because you don’t like the result is a bit of a joke though. Nothing has changed in the last month to warrant another vote, so if it swings the other way this time, then democracy really is a joke.

        Ah, so what you meant to say is not “democracy is a joke” but rather: “people’s awareness of what’s going on is a joke”, I got it.

        They’re not voting on the same thing they voted just recently. “Chat control 1.0”, as it is sometimes called, was passed 6 years ago - it was the voluntary monitoring that vendors were allowed to do. That law has just ended. The conservatives want to extend it. This is the current vote.

        What they voted on a month ago was the “2.0” version, where monitoring would’ve been mandatory.
