People have been either blind for past 20 years or succesfully converted

As I understand it, there is no clear path for this to be enacted nor for it to stand if enacted.

People got bored of rioting.
There were pushes for that since 2010-ish, and the cycle was: propose something that no citizen wants, riots happen, they push back. year later they repeat the same process again and again. First major one was ACTA if i remember right.

EU is a shit show of corruption and oppression. If people would riot for every atrocious thing EU does there would not be time for anything else.

#7The title should be shortened from "Undermining Democracy: The European Commission's Controversial Push for Digital Surveillance" simply to:
"Undermining Democracy: The European Commission".
The EC is sheer horror. The thousands of years old saying: "The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state" has never been truer.
I've done a short consulting gig at the European Parliament, which at least tries to be the good guys. But the EP is tiny compared to the EC and the EC is pulling the strings: the EP is supposed to bring some kind of democracy but there's none.
All these rules are benefitting people in power and they're all ever more intrusive.
For example the MiCA one (Markets in Digital Assets), which is not at all only about cryptocurrencies/crypto-tokens (it's also about upcoming centralized "euro coin" emitted by EU central banks), is sheer horror too. I've read it all and it's madness. Insanity.
It's all about control. Complete, total and utter control over every single aspect of EU citizens' lives.
They want to know everything about everyone: nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
Those who believe it's "for our own good" are out of their minds.

Haha, sure, it’s real invigilation terror over here in Europe. We all just want to escape this tyrannical dictatorship.
But, the European Parliament is against this legislation, and for the moment it’s not passing.

#9These bureaucrats overwhelm citizens with enormous amounts of text. Expression of opinion is regulated here. A few principles should be enough.
The most important one should be: Every citizen is free to express his opinion.

Because this nonsense has no chance at being implemented.
