The EU is interesting because there is the GDPR that has good data privacy protection but then they keep bringing up chat control which completely undermines privacy
“They” being some proponents starting with Ylva Johansson, but it’s also true that they have never had a majority to actually make chat control happen. They keep trying, but “they” are not the EU as a whole.
Because they support limited privacy from corporations, but zero privacy from government. The neoliberals don’t consider that a double standard.
