"The smart contract shall include internal functions which can reset
or instruct the contract to stop or interrupt the operation"
Ie. Putting the centralisation back into decentralisation

Who would use a dapp if the devs could steal your money anytime?
We need to vote in better people.

How will they even implement that? That seems difficult to enforce

Wouldn’t be that hard to enforce if the coin is registered on any
exchange. Then they can audit the code of the most relevant projects,
thereby eliminating any who don’t meet the criteria.

I’d like to know how this works technically, is it like a proxy
contract? If so, what’s the difference?

It might be possible to program for individual apps but it would make
them unusable. Nobody would put their money in a dapp that could steal
the money anytime.

2 choices :
(1)Parliament is extremely ignorant of anything computer related , and
just incompetent and reactionary ..
(2) they are purposely malicious and undermining the space .

Isn't this actually extremely bad news for any smart contract crypto?
Centralisation in all decentralised smart contracts, who would
trust a Dapp where the developer can interrupt or kill switch the
smart contract?
I heard someone say that this could class smart contract coins as
security's as they will have a centralised governance
Smart contracts aren't region specific so abiding by Euro law
means kill switch/interruption would have to be worldwide?

Smart contracts must be printed out, and signed by both parties.

tldr; The European Parliament passed the Data Act on March 14. The
bill was intended to "boost innovation by removing barriers
obstructing access to industrial data." Among its provisions is an
article that would require smart contracts to be alterable. The act
also granted smart contracts equal protection with other forms of
contract.

A smart contract is not a contract dummies. It's an app.
We need better expressions in the crypto space.
Not crypto currencies, crypto assets.
Not smart contracts, dapps.
