To add on this: removed because it was clear the vote would not have been in favor.

Was pretty clear that it would return sooner rather than later.

They will try until it passes. And if it's stopped in the courts they will try again.

Yeah, same with forcing ISPs to save connection data on all users long term. European court slapped on the hands a couple of times, still not done. Like some kind of undead policy

You guys should bring over some judges from the US courts. They will totally protect your freedoms.

If this is not a joke: the US has the worst privacy protection laws on this planet. Laws in China are almost better. And ironically the worst laws for freedom aswell. There is a reason why we have the GDPR laws in the EU that prohibits any user data transfer to US servers.
