As if that proves the EU is evil.

It sure as hell proves evil intent.
We're lucky there's a majority against chat control but that still means there was a minority proposing it.
And i don't think the divide is that big

    It only proves evil intent of those specific politicians trying to push it through.

    It doesn't prove any evil intent from anything else in the EU.

    The EU is a democracy. Which means that we sometimes also let evil people talk.
