Because the rest of Europe has much stronger reaction to unpopular political decisions

>>khalic+(OP)
EU wants to scan every private message you send. Are there protests in the streets?

"The EU could be scanning your chats by October 2025 – here's everything we know" (https://www.techradar.com/computing/cyber-security/the-eu-co...)

"Chat Control is back & we've got two months to stop the EU CSAM scanning plans" (https://tuta.com/blog/chat-control-criticism)

I believe the point being made is that you are saying England when it is the entire UK under discussion. You are missing out three of the four nations of the U.K.

Chat control is being actively campaigned against, and is not yet law. Civil disobedience, demonstrations and other more disruptive forms of protest come after the democratic options have been exhausted. Is this really news to you?

>>tene80+i1
Don’t they have their own governments of sorts? Also, I would never accuse Irish or Scott’s of being passive in their response to political changes…

The OSA applies to all of the UK.

>>khalic+K1
England is the only one of the four without its own parliament.

Providing you accurately define the Irish in question all four are subject to the OSA, none have actively opposed it in any meaningful way.

Thx I didn’t know that, thank you

Are they though?

By a few tech communities with a very limited reach. I refuse to believe at this point that the complete silence on the topic from mainstream media across EU is a coincidence.

They do, but with limited powers. It’s not exactly the same as US states and the federal government, but you can think of them as regional governments or levels of government in that sort of way. The Scottish Parliament can pass some types of laws for Scotland. But Westminster (usually) passes laws for the entire UK.
