Couple of comments: - Article is from April 2019 and seems to be an attempt to bring it back into social consciousness. - As others have commented previously, it does not focus on EU citizens - primarily non-EU citizens visiting the EU. - Appears to be very similar to the existing VISA waiver program run by the USA. Definitely one that should be classified as "proceed with caution" but it's not as outrageous as the headline makes out.
