Does the EU government, or the US government, or any other government for that matter strike you as doing a particularly good job of legislating around the internet? Personally, my impression is the legislation is at best hit-and-miss. You might get some great privacy protection. You might get mandatory encryption back doors. You might get free mobile data roaming. You might get cookie warning messages. You might get worldwide license-free spectrum, some of the most economically productive spectrum ever. You might get a patent system that lets people patent slide-to-unlock. You might get the state funding university research and giving the results away for free. You might get the DMCA giving youtube creators getting copyright strikes because someone's copyrighted silence. You might get cable rights of way and common carrier protections, which are vital to the communications industry working. You might get government ID checks for social media users. Seems to me legislation is a coin flip - sometimes great, other times completely boneheaded.
