   > The European Parliament cleared the way for a renewed extension of the so-called “Chat Control” on Tuesday afternoon. With a narrow majority of 331 to 304 votes and eleven abstentions, the MEPs voted for an urgency motion that Parliament President Roberta Metsola had put on the agenda at short notice at the behest of the member states and the EPP group. This allows Parliament to vote again on the controversial plan on Thursday, its last session before the summer break.

     @lain you can tell we live in a technocracy because just like in our tech we no longer choose between yes or no anymore, it's between yes and Maybe Later

     @hakui @lain ironically in 2023 the EU discussed banning dark patterns from websites such as "yes, or maybe later".

     @sun @lain @hakui They banned the whole cookie "all, or click through 800 options to disable everything" pattern. Yet you still see it every day.
