      I just don’t get what caused such a radical change. The EU has been at the top of caring about consumer privacy, with countries like germany even creating sweet laws like censoring most buildings from google’s street view.

      Now suddenly they want to jeopardize encryption and create backdoors? What gives?

      Quite a lot is right with the UK - it just doesn’t get reported because the world’s media focuses on negativity. That’s pretty much the case for every country - people are people even if religion and politics differ. The day to day lives go on with a thousand acts of kindness and consideration. Your attitude is no different to someone in the UK saying “America’s shit” because of a few key points that get bounced around the internet constantly, ignoring the many positives.

        I don’t think the source of their wealth even though they are a failed nation or that they perpetuate neo-imperialism and instability around the world to maintain the global north superiority is reported enough, or are those not negative enough?

          I’m not sure I understand your point? Are you saying that if things were different, then things would be different? I can’t argue with that.

    I know this isn’t privacy, but they recently want to stop people from transitioning to electric cars and also want to stop funding for public transportation… so, this mental hemorrhage of a privacy law doesn’t in the fucking slightest surprise me.
