    The EU has no interest in allowing privacy on devices, since it is increasingly attempting to control alternative narratives. We’re in touching distance of the Fourth Reich now.

      Europe has explicitly no problem with this. They showed they have the power to censor Russian media but refuse to do this with European far-right, they just want the local fascists to win.

          Even the premise is too generous:

          Why would the leaders of the EU—a project ostensibly built on peace and sovereignty—

          How on Earth is the literal cradle of Fascism and colonialism built on peace and sovereignty? The EU is built on neoliberalism and anticommunism, it cannot be built on peace or sovereignty.

            Remember that the EU arose in part from the institutions set up to deter the same type of nationalist fascism rising again, such as the ECSC. Sadly, we may have encouraged Russian -funded American -spread international fascism in its place, although they don’t seem to control the EU yet.

              Fascism is not even Russian funded or American spread, Europe is perfectly capable of growing its own fascism as we saw 100 years ago, sadly we’re going down the same road.

                American billionaires literally funded the US fascism and have made it public policy to support fascistic governments and groups within the EU. See the US sec of state endorsing Orban this week as evidence.

                Honeslty think you ae a bot in here to spread shit and be divisive for the sake of it.

                  Nah, you’re just eurocentric and believe the myth of the European garden vs the world jungle, whose roots are white supremacy. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, I’m not calling you an Interpol agent.

                    You can’t distinguish between europe and the EU. Europe has a colonial history. The EU was formed with peace and stability in mind.

                    The atrocities committed by european states across the centuries should be remembered and reparations made to the best possible degree.

                    The stability that the EU brought to the region should be remembered, lauded and fought for.

                    Sorry I dont subscribe to your view that once any rvil has taken place in a land that those people can never then be a force for good.
