laws are not the issue as much as foreign totalitarian entities have a strong ability to influence local voters in adverse ways.

This is such a threat to democracy that ironically the only solution is to crack down on democracy

Not a big fan of Managed Democracy, thank you.

This is such an insane stance. The proposal of chat control is surveillance of most private communication.

Blaming Russia is such a tiresome stance. Russian propaganda is so bad and so hilariously ineffective that it penetrates only small bubbles inside political parties, even after years of propaganda.

Also the current German government includes the historically most notorious Russian shill party.

The laws are absolutely the issue and if you are tearing down democracy to "preserve democracy", you just see democracy as a useful propaganda tool, for the sake of your own power.
