I am not seeing any movements by governments that would "restore some freedom for individuals", anywhere in the world. All I am seeing is censorship.

yes. they're "censoring" algorithms designed to create engagement=profit, which are causing massive harm to society. i don't see anything wrong with it at all. and like you, i'm on the fediverse because there isn't an algorithm, our exposure is curated by us, not by engagement-bot-5.

Speaking for myself ofcourse but I am glad the EU has regulations for the use of personal data for targeting consumers, voters and for example patients.

You might translate this as "censorship" but I think of it as "responsible use".

Over the past years (and certainly in the case of Xitter) it has become blatantly clear that people like Musk wipe their #ss with responsibility.
