I’m so surprised the EU is pushing this considering how much effort they’ve put into pretending to care about digital privacy and passing all sorts of consumer protections, seems pretty obvious it was just a front and they want to spy on people just as much as the US, Russia or China does.
It's just a few people who really want this. The rest absolutely doesn't want this.
I'm more than sure it's Peter Thiel pushing this behind the curtains.
