| Glad that my country (Finland) is also on the correct side of this. Disappointed that our Nordic and Baltic neighbours are not though. Would've expected more, especially from Estonia. |

| Sweden and Denmark are some of the main drivers of this proposal. As a Swede I am a bit unclear why as while our politicians are quite pro-survelliance they have spent much more political capital than reasonable. One possible reason seems to be lobbyism and shady connections to surveillance tech companies and various shady non-profits https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the... |

| > Disappointed that our Nordic and Baltic neighbours are not though Why do you think the Baltics are in favour? Are there some announcements they have made? |

| ▲ | supermatt 3 days ago | parent [-] | | The link in the submission is saying that the representatives position is mostly unknown for all the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia). For Finland it says only 3 of 15 have opposed - which is clearly not a majority. The “assumption” based on government position has no reference to any stated government position (I know for a fact Lithuania have expressed no such opinion, and can’t find anything related to Latvia or Estonia having done so either) - and also “assumes” all representatives (that are from different parties) are aligned, which they most likely aren’t. |
