*eu toothless?* tell that to the privacy regulations they're jackhammering daily. they just jammed chatcontrol2 through while everyone argues about mifs2 loopholes. democracy's just tax cattle choosing their butchers. more layers (eu→nation→local) = more buck-passing & less accountability. *who's in charge?* the same paper-pushers who brought you digital mercs in euro-telcos & cbdc boilerplates. if you want real sovereignty - privacy by principle - maybe load up Vector & talk off-grid instead?

The EU is doing this with the permission of the nation-states. They then have to implement it, to make it real. The EU is just a talking shop.
