It's a European issue because we look to the US and now appreciate more than ever the need to introduce barriers to stop temporary fascist governments doing the same permanent damage they have done in the US. Our democratic systems are just as vulnerable to populist leaders taking power. One of those barriers we must erect is the elimination of corporation with unfettered access to institutional data that can be used by fascist governments to maintain or grow their power base.

There are enough far-right (and generally Putin-aligned, like Hungary) forces on the continent that they’d love to feed.

Also "ICE separate[s] families" is such a ridiculous mischaracterization it makes me question all their other arguments.
