#4This is why the roles of the major players in society (government, monopolies) need to be circumscribed.
Large organizations will always try to grow in size and power.
We need some sort of human right for digital privacy to make this sort of thing illegal.

Note the concern is based on historical precedent, that the commission can browbeat the parliament into passing it, especially considering the recent changing of the guard and relatively limited information that many national voters get of their MEP's activities in the european parliament because of the tendency for EU elections to be decided on domestic issues.

#7EU is, and always was, a compensation job for failed national politicians at their respective national levels. It's the trade horse for allowing your party buddies to take over the government jobs.
EU politicians should keep their over inflated salaries, and stick to what they are good at. Meeting with Google and Microsoft lobbyists at the best Brussels luxury restaurants.

Thanks to hn crowd, who explained it's not super difficult (and not going to lie, summer $500 discount), a Google pixel phone, soon running GrapheneOS, is on it's way.
Can GrapheneOS prevent detection of somebody sideloading Signal?

That's an interesting thread ... they claim they won't be compliant, which I applaud, but what will happen is that unwitting Signal users will end up being targeted by law enforcement. There are already precedents of people with "secure" phones or encrypted messaging apps being targeted, such as the Sky ECC case.
