Yeah I was always thinking the same. They must be jealous about the enormous surveillance power that accumulated in the US for over 2 decades.
Thing is: If the strategy is to have total surveillance based on an open legal framework then they should actively market it as that. I _might_ even agree with that. But given they're BSing us with "protect the children" I cannot help but see them as bad actors doing stupid/evil sh*t.

But I am not sure whether it is about jealousy of the US as such, but perhaps more about alleged or real fears about the domestic instability of the US, its commitment to Europe, and the shifting landscape in the great power politics game. Therefore, there are already open proposals to create a "European CIA": https://ksr.hkspublications.org/2023/04/06/if-you-want-peace-prepare-for-war-5-steps-toward-building-new-european-capacities-in-the-age-of-economic-and-political-instability/ https://ksr.hkspublications.org/2023/04/06/if-you-want-peace...
