Have a link:

Maybe not the one OP wanted to post but it seems it is the source of the reportings and others picked up on it.

Thank you for the link.

Good thing that the council (and likely the parliament too) want none of the Commissions bullshit.

This isn't the first time that the Commission proposes controversial laws that most likely will be shot down, and the Commission is already known for attempting to sway the minds of the masses using scare campaigns, but as far as I know, it's the first time they have used such backhanded methods.

The Commission should face repercussions for such repeated and increasingly disgusting behavior.
