After years of propaganda, debates and discussion for data protection and privacy rights for EU citizens, and approving such rights by law, you don't think it's hypocrisy that they approve a law that strips citizens from such rights.
They believe people have the right to have their data protected and to know what data is being collected, and demand collectors and processors to not hoard data and take only what is necessary. This is literally bulk collecting of chat logs and process them, without people consent.
I still don't get your point, there are no rights for citizens to use force, detain others or take land. At least in the EU countries I know. So what rights are being stripped from citizens?
It's the same if the USA government said they will abide by the people's rights to own weapons, but decided to ban the sales of all weapons so people can't buy them.
- HWR_14 5y agoI don't see how it's hypocritical. The government says "X is bad, private entities cannot do X, but sometimes the government needs to do X". How is that not hypocritical when X is "shoot you in the head" but is hypocritical when it's "collect data". Which isn't to say it's the right move. I'm just saying your argument here is weak.
