The EU are absolutely the bad guys if not kept on a short leash. I’m not very confident Chat Control would be stopped unless for the massive campaigning to educate them. They already want to weaken GDPR. Are we the US yet? No, but we all need to be very wary of the power creep. They are also looking into age-verification laws to protect the kids. Not all things EU are benevolent.
Completely agree. I’m hugely supportive of the EU, the things it has accomplished and the future potential. However, blindly agreeing with everything it does with black and white thinking is how we sleepwalk into our own authoritarian dystopia.

They should! Call me old fashioned but kids really shouldn’t be on Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. It’s just turning them into sociopaths manipulated by billionaires.
Sure, I do partially agree with that. But give parents better tools to monitor or restrict what their kids can access. Don’t make every citizens online activity trackable. Just look at Texas what “nothing to hide” logic gets you; arrested for seeking abortion.
Oh, they are absolutely the bad guy we are looking for. Constantly working on undermining our privacy rights on behalf of lobbyists from US companies and organisations competing against those US companies now mostly in control of our data, is neither good nor pro EU souvereignity.
I’m afraid this is just an excuse for mass surveillance. At least, getting rid of American services is definitely a win.
The EU is not the bad guy you are looking for. You are already being mass surveilled by Visa and Mastercard.

They are not… Today… I bet Americans said the same years ago.

Same. But if we somehow manage to make it not go to shit, it’d be just very strong and convenient imo. That’s a big if ofc.
