    I would be wary of this messaging.

    There were a number of other times when it was being reported that the EU was going to do some moustache twirling kind of manoeuvre, and so far it was always deeply misreported - it was going to be the end of privacy but if you read the actual proposal it was actually sensible and not remotely close to what news said about it.

    I haven’t read this proposal yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the same as always.

      So you’re completely uninformed and yet chime in with your opinion? The danger is real and this isn’t a reporting issue.

        Well, they’ll never be caught in a Google location dragnet and arrested, dontchaknow? That’s all just fake news!! /s

        People like that never think beyond the simplistic view of the moment.

        They don’t believe innocent people have been jailed on bad evidence, or that the government would lie and use this stuff against someone, despite it being in the news almost daily.
