    The EU is busily building the Fourth Reich, so don’t expect help from there.

        The ongoing battle against online privacy is a symptom of capitalism, the EU is a capitalist state. The only thing the EU would ever do against US-based capitalism is to gobble up those capital gains for themselves. It doesn’t matter if it happes or not, the privacy-issues for end-users would never be alleviated by the EU.

          From what you’re saying, they would’ve already introduced all those capitalist methods of control the first time around.

          Which they didn’t.

          What gives?

          Also: the EU is literally incapable of “gobbling up capital gains for themselves” because “themselves” doesn’t exist in this context - the EU is not a “State”. The member-states might (and some do).

      Yeah, sure, at a really slower pace than USA. Maybe in a century. They still care more for their citizens Trump ever did.
