EU is very much a mixed bag. On the one hand, they do this, on the other hand, they tried to ban P2P encryption and microtargetted religious and elderly in resisting countries, feeding them the classic "it's for the children's safety" lies.

Though we have to remind ourselves that it's mainly the EU Commission who does this.

The Supreme Court spoke out against it from the very beginning, the Parliament voted against it, it's really only the Commission who doesn't want to understand that EU law applies to them, too.

Quite a few positions in there that need to be held by new people who understand the damn law.

they tried to ban P2P encryption

They recently enshrined it as an unalienable human right as a world first.
