- boringg 4y agoAgree it is both but it is very palatable in the local population to implement rules to shutout foreign competition. Easy political points.
- kmlx 4y ago> The privacy angle lives in the minds of Europeans without data, it’s hard to make this argument. what we know for sure is that bureaucrats fully support the privacy angle. but from my anecdotal real life experience almost no one cares (another argument that without data cannot be generalised).
- XAMPPRocky 4y agoThe "bureaucrats" are elected officials so if people weren't in favour of it, they would stop electing MEPs that vote in favour of it.
- bmitc 4y agoThat’s a naïve view of how politics and elections work.
- rootusrootus 4y agoWhen has any democracy worked even remotely like that? There are countless issues politicians must take a position on, you won't agree with all of them. So you prioritize. Or you just vote party line, which is by far what most people do.
- radicalbyte 4y agoUS people certainly care about their privacy however there aren't any strong institutions left in the US anymore (outside of the Military) and the political system in the US give a choice between two corporate-owned parties.
