While the announcement from Germany's Bundestag regarding Chat Control is a promising sign, we can not let our guard down. Germany has been known to flip-flop in the past. They could very well flip again. Until they commit with their vote announcements, we can not let up.
The same goes with other undecided/flip-floppy EU countries. Keep calling your MEPs!

Denmark to ban social media for under-15s
> Denmark said Tuesday (Oct 7) it planned to introduce a social media ban for children under the age of 15.
> Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen did not specify which social media networks would fall under the ban, nor how it would work in practice, as she announced the initiative in a speech to parliament at the opening of its autumn session.
> The Bill, the timeline of which remains unspecified, would authorise parents to let their child use social media from the age of 13.
> "The cell phone and social media are robbing our children of their childhood," Frederiksen said, arguing that 60 per cent of Danish boys aged 11 to 19 preferred to stay home over spending time with friends.

❓ Kann man ohne "Social Media" heute Wahlen gewinnen?
Carleigh Beriont will für die Demokraten in den Kongress. Seit 2020 ist sie auf keiner Plattform mehr zu finden. Sie meint, "Demokratie funktioniert besser offline."
Auf die Frage, ob Social Media nicht ein notwendiges Übel sei, sagt sie: "Notwendiges Übel? Ich weiß, es ist ein Übel. Ich weiß nicht, ob es notwendig ist."
