    Its so fascinating how our EU can switch between fucking good decisions and fucking terrible decisions all the time. I hope this will be avoided by the parliament

      Especially when it comes to “security” laws, the EU often seems to be on a concerning track, while it seems to have good ideas for many other areas (consumer protection for example). Does someone have a good explanation for this phenomenon?

        Paternalism

        You cannot restrict and reduce restriction at the same time. Instead just restrict everyone, for their own safety.

        In multiple ways, contrary to the US and I think the EU is currently doing the best job of them all.

          I mean you can totally not try to end P2P encryption or allow espionage against journalists by gov agencies. There is nothing power hunger driving them to do so
