To me, this as ridiculous as saying "Why should drug cartels have free and EASY access to the internet?". The genie is out of the bottle, and there is no substitute for good old fashioned (hard) police work.

> and social credit systems to top it off. It will happen and we can only postpone it. What social credit systems are you talking about specifically? Maybe I live under a rock, but I haven't heard anything about something like that in EU or Europe.
SCHUFA for Germany. They want to get your bank payments next. If your score is bad (which can be if you live in a neighbourhood which is "bad") you can't get loans or other contracts like for mobile data.

This could be abused in any number of ways and would probably make people and their precious children less safe in the long run rather than more safe. You can be sure Viktor Orban would use it to crack down on political opposition in Hungary, for example.

Orban doesn’t need to crack down on political opposition he has a strong majority in his country.[1] I guess you have a wrong opinion about Hungary and Orban because the media doesn’t like him because he is a pain in the ass for many plans of the European Union and gets bad reporting.

That being said, he can probably get a copy of the document if he asks the right people.

Also let it be known that everybody is pissed at Hungary at the moment (I mean, ok, this is kinda constant, but even more now)

(but yeah this BS does get annoying)
