I am surprised by Sweden and Denmark being in favor.

    They've been reverting a lot of that Nordic socialism due to the usual anti-immigrant rhetoric

    I‘m not surprised in the slightest given who governs these countries nowadays. They‘re far more right than your average EU country.

    Weirdly, social democrat Ylva Johansson proposed the first chat control bill.

    I don't think it's fair to blame the right in this case.

    afaik denmark isn't just in favor, but they're also responsible for pushing the legislation higher on the agenda after it was dropped last time.
    i think it's because the current ruling coalition consists of the "social democrat party" (actually just red flavored populist centerish party) in an alliance with the "moderate party" (centrist flavored center-right wing party) and the liberal (as in libertarianism) party (center-right/right/conservative party), so basically denmark has been under a quite conservative government lately, despite the PM selling the coalition as "across the center"
