I tend to ignore "think of the children" pleas from people who outsource the education and supervision of their children to the state or other "non-parent providers."

Not that I'm aware of, although East Germany still has Stasi in living memory, which gives mass surveillance a tangibley sour aftertaste.

You might be interested in Aritcle 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_8_of_the_European_Conv...). It was recently used to declare the UK's mass surveillance unlawful (https://dpglaw.co.uk/european-court-of-human-rights-declares...)

> What could possibly go wrong?
This could have normally be considered an idle comment.
Unfortunately, in today's world it has become part of a rule: "when any trend emerges, ask yourself: what could possibly go wrong".

#10This is a terrible headline. It gives impression that the majority of electorate supports this. Or maybe majority of their respective parliaments does.
But it's just the executive branch of the EU itself- "A majority of the EU Council of Ministers". More or less, each government selects a minister to represent them in this council.
The article should really be reporting on how this bill is progressing. I am no legal expert, but I believe the EU parliament, which is actually elected, could reject it. I am not sure what happens if it is found unconstitutional in some of the countries concerned.
