I'm happy to report that the vote was postponed because they did not have the votes for the proposal to pass. I know it is not a definitive victory because they will simply try to do it again, but it's good that they failed once again.

Apart from the Orwellian scale and invasiveness of the whole thing, I also find the automatic inclusion of cops extremely troubling.

In most if not all countries, you don't have to have done anything wrong in order for any interaction with cops to potentially harmful up to and including the risk of being murdered by them. And they're just gonna automatically call them on every false positive of a likely extremely flawed algorithm 😬🤬
