Why is chatcontrol being pushed every year by the european commission, while people and their representatives are in majority against it?

Besides given the amount of lobbying in the EU institutions, it's obvious that citizens don't have a chance against corpos with infinite money.

And how is that different from any other governmental level? Seriously, we in Berlin got a freeway that nobody I know wanted or wants. It's not the EU's fault.
In a classic democracy, the Parliament can repeal laws, unlike in the EU.
Because puritans gonna puritan and security services want to read your comms. That's like any day of the week everywhere since forever.
