Truly a "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" moment. We live in an unprecedented time where American technological hegemony is being rejected globally, but especially in Europe. People want performant, durable, respectful software offerings, and are increasingly looking away from the Valley and the Street for answers. So let's jump on board with becoming part of the extended American surveillance state! Yee fucking haw.

Will send people to Tor more than likely and that's all I think it achieves, so bit of an own goal.

I don't want to start a war here, but I don't get why people argue that the EU is better than the US because X or Z. We just side with who is the "less bad" and who action's directly affect us less or more according to our standards and reality. This is just plain bullshit, at this point why they don't just convert their hidden dictatorships to real dictatorships? Let's censure everything, everything is bad, fuck that.
