> nor does it want to build a great firewall of Europe

Oh yes they are. Just more stealthily via ID doxing age verification and speech censorship regulations.

That's a huge stretch. Age verification is a worrying, but a wordwide trend, several US states introduced it as well.

The first country to introduce it was Australia, which is only related to Europe by participating in Eurovision

    It isn't.

    > but a wordwide trend

    And that's supposed to make it ... FINE?

    LIke "Hey, the entire world is becoming an authoritarian surveillance state, what do you expect the EU to do? NOT do it?"

    YES! That's what I expect. I don't want the EU becoming China but with a blue flag.
