I am surprised by Sweden and Denmark being in favor.

[–] migo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They've been reverting a lot of that Nordic socialism due to the usual anti-immigrant rhetoric

And a right wing government here in Sweden relying on a far right party to stay in power, all in favor of heavy surveillance

Social democracy, not socialism

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I‘m not surprised in the slightest given who governs these countries nowadays. They‘re far more right than your average EU country.

Weirdly, social democrat Ylva Johansson proposed the first chat control bill.

I don't think it's fair to blame the right in this case.

In the end of the day it‘s the wealthy & powerful VS us. You are also not a socialist if you propose something like this. Simple as.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Yes I agree. I suspect they were tricked by some higher ups in EU to put the bill forwards as being a socialist idea, selling it to a wider crowd.

afaik denmark isn't just in favor, but they're also responsible for pushing the legislation higher on the agenda after it was dropped last time.
i think it's because the current ruling coalition consists of the "social democrat party" (actually just red flavored populist centerish party) in an alliance with the "moderate party" (centrist flavored center-right wing party) and the liberal (as in libertarianism) party (center-right/right/conservative party), so basically denmark has been under a quite conservative government lately, despite the PM selling the coalition as "across the center"

Denmark is trying to pry open their centralized health records database so Palantir can use it 😂, I mean, you know for uh crime and stuff.
