You're blaming the wrong people and making this worse.

The article is literally about the EU Council, the elected heads of states of all the EU nations. The elected leaders of the EU nations really, really want chat control. The Commission has nothing to do with this.

The Council might be involved, but it’s the commission that drafts legislation, and they’re unelected.

Either way, drafting legislation should be the responsibility of the legislature (i.e the parliament), not the commission or the council.
