The people you're replying to aren't glossing over it, the posted article (and the comments predicting the end of the European tech industry) is glossing over it. "European Parliament approves mass surveillance" really means "European Parliament suspends portion of privacy law that prevents third parties from voluntarily monitoring information entrusted to them" - as they're able to do in the US.
The European Parliament isn't (in this action, at least) compelling anyone to surveil anything.
- pessimizer 5y agoThis is a bizarre distinction to make when the third party doctrine has resulted in mass surveillance in the US. > The European Parliament isn't (in this action, at least) compelling anyone to surveil anything. Why shoot down something that you're adding to the article? Who said the European Parliament was compelling anyone to do anything?
