For the past weeks I've been reading through *all* the feedback to the EU on (yes, *all* 414 comments).

Unsurprisingly, most of the feedback is opposed to the regulation (~87%, see image).

Some opponents pointed out issues I hadn't even considered, some suggested useful alternatives to this regulation.

If you want to know more, I've written a in-depth blog post about this here: maxim.tips/against-chatcontrol

@mxm My voice: ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r . It is actually sad that out of 447million inhabitants only 414 ( 0.00009% ...) have spoken out on such an important issue. Evidently the European institutions and the Member States give too little information about such a possibility.

@mxm BTW I hope that my vote, although focused on the technical aspects of the feasibility of this directive, was counted as "against" 🙂

Maxim

@miklo Yes, I counted yours as "against" purely based on the fact that it's disproportionate

@mxm
Something tells me the feedback is just there for show and it's likely to pass like all the privacy infringements that are law currently.

@vorpuni Sure, it's possible. But they can't pretend most people support this legislation when 87% of comments (and ~98% of citizens) oppose the legislation. Maybe that'll change the minds of some politicians.

I finally had some time and uploaded the code & data I generated during this project. You can download it from codeberg: codeberg.org/maxim/eufeedback

I still plan to do a blog post on how it all works (and clean up & document the more ugly code parts), but I haven't yet found time and motivation to do that.

Still, I managed to write up a short README, so if you want to toy around with what I analyzed & wrote, have fun!
