Hn is a goofy place. It feels like on odd days we see posts like this, about the EU creating this legal framework for the destruction of privacy. On even days we see posts about quitting American saas in favor of Europeans on the basis of privacy. Somehow the dots never connect.

A rational person could argue both against EU surveillance laws and in favour of more EU digital independence.

The dots connect very normally, politicians make mistakes. People need to protest against it.

As you might have learned from life, things are not binary.

Doesn't the mere fact that the EU is trying to pass laws to erode privacy indicate that there is privacy to erode? The US doesn't need to pass such laws because there are no protections.
