> there is no constant surveillance in Europe
CCTV? I would also be extremely surprised to learn that European agencies don't have access to the Five Eyes program, or even their own analogue.
Face it, every state wants a hand in the big data gravy train. Especially organisations like the EU that believe their regulation, centralisation and bureaucracy is an unquestionable good.
- peoplefromibiza 4y agothey can't use it unless authorized and no, there is no single evidence that EU is engaged in massive surveillance on their citizens. Also because, for those who don't know, EU cannot do it by itself. It depends from the legislation of every single member. So I'm sure in Poland and Hungary they are trying to do it against political opposition, but I'm also sure that in my Country it is not happening (I know people working for that department, it's mostly because incompetence and laser focus on other threats like terrorism and organized crime, which we are pretty good at preventing) And most of all as European I support the idea that EU should protect interests of EU, where 450 million people live. It's bad enough we have to witness and pay the consequences of a war at our borders because Americans did nothing to prevent it, that we have to allow them to have their military bases on our soil, that they are now sending more troops to said bases, let's at least have our own regulations created by, let's remember this fact too, elected representatives of the European population.
