There are more parties who defend internet privacy then just the pirate party. Won't matter much tho with the current rightwing majority.

Is the incoming majority particularly anti-piracy? I thought they were more fixated on leaving the EU, gutting the "woke" public sector, and rounding up all the immigrants for deportation.
Just to make things clear, the pirate party isn't directly related to piracy. There are ongoing efforts to render end-to-end encryption illegal in Europe as we speak. Dark times are coming

I can't imagine how you stop all end to end encryption across a continent while you're exiting the continent-wide governing body.
Who's exiting? They will just ban any non-compliant messaging app
They whom? Is every country going to have it's own national firewall, complete with highly sophisticated SMS-only encryption detecting service?

By law, simply making it illegal as is being worked on.
They have been very active fighting the chat control proposals that keep coming, haven't really seen others being so active about it besides them. This is really bad.

What did the pirate party stand for? I heard of them before, but not much what they stand for other than digital privacy.
I think this election was mainly focused on Migration, economy and green deal. Mainly why the right took over and the green and left lost. People are seeing the negative effect of migration more and more, and diplomats cannot hide it anymore.
Democracy. Real direct democracy, not the representative bullshit. But with the little influence we got, we can't do much better than trying to protect digital privacy right now
Outside of their obvious platform, pirate parties tend to be social democratic, like centre-centre left AFAIK. With more of an emphasis on direct democracy and anti-authoritarianism than bigger mainstream parties.
