Find the politicians by name who voted yes for this, and display them in public.

Let the capable open source community then take over going through their phones, since they must be OK with their phones being scanned, right?

At least some of them were discussion giving themselves an exception from it. So no.

Winking would be more appropriate if it was Russiя.

What would the Chinese like then?

[-] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Hahahaha. Dunno. +50 social rating, bowl of rice and catgirl?

I thought that was more Korean, but I suppose that'll work for them too

Korean? Maybe this meme is popular only in Russia. This meme is about China.

"Party is proud of you!!! Party give one catwife."

"Party is proud of you! +150 social credit"

First of all it was in the council, so not really individual politicians but the governments/ministers of member countries, and second they didn't vote, it was withdrawn.

We got lucky this time. Won't be the case next time.

Also, even if it's entire governments voting, there must be a way to find politicians who are pro and against this, yes? Pretty sure governments had an internal vote and they came up with their decision based on said vote

I'd assume people already know who their government is and who of them favours policies like this.
