These carrier bureaucrates of EU will split the EU apart with their needless over legislation where member state's fascist far left and far right elements would want to be done with the union.

I can't read the full article, but I would like to remind everyone that this is not the first time the EU has done something like this.

In 2006 the EU passed the Data Retention Directive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive

>According to the Data Retention Directive, EU member states had to store information on all citizens' telecommunications data (phone and internet connections) for a minimum of six months and at most twenty-four months, to be delivered on demand to police authorities.

This was actually law for 8 years until the Court of Justice of the EU found it to be violating fundamental rights and was declared invalid.

They will literally use the christmas holidays to pass this while people are spending time with their families and won't notice it.

Even if they did, what are they going to do about it?

True, it's sad to see activists needs to be on duty 24/7/365 and yet it's useless if they can't get normal people to follow them and spam the inbox of every single EU employee just to delay more whatever chains they're trying to pass.
