@nprofile1q... you are explaining this to a person who writes a regular column (in Polish) about this sort of thing, and who had been a privacy and digital human rights activist for over a decade and a half.
I am well appraised with issues around privacy in the EU. I am also well appraised with issues around privacy in the USA.
Even with all the high-profile dumb ideas of European Commission, the privacy situation in EU is leaps and bounds better.
