    What’s your criticism? That EU is an oppressor? How is it oppressing anyone?

    There’s valid criticism and there’s derangement.

      Why do you feel the need to continually move the goalpost?

      “I’m not silent about this oppressor” to “other places are bad too” to “there is no oppressor”.

      Erosion of privacy by the state is oppression.

        I’m not moving any goalpost. I’m asking for clarification and you’re realizing that your arguments make no sense.

        Like now, erosion of privacy… You do realize that EU passed GDPR not so long ago? Which was pretty revolutionary law when it comes to protecting personal data and privacy of its citizens? That many other countries then copied?

        But for you the facts (i.e. that EU has one of the most robust data protection and privacy laws in the world) doesn’t matter, in your mind EU is trying to erode privacy and is oppressing its citizens. You will look at the part of the world where people have the most freedom, find a single thing you don’t like and you start talking about oppression. That’s derangement, plain and simple.

          EU: pushes a significant legislation requiring backdoor access to all of your personal communications.

          You: but they’re so privacy focused!!

            EU: very clearly states in the legislation that it has to preserve all the rights granted by GDPR and can’t weaken e2ee in any way

            You: oppression!
