It is a particular idiocy to discriminate reporters and any other citizen for such rules. Security services need strong guardrails. We had 25 years of paranoid and renitent pensioners creating stupid policy without any result. The EU doesn't provide enough value to justify their ridiculous attempts to increase surveillance. I don't want to live on this continent of paranoid people that like the state to provide illusionary security. There isn't even one sensible definition of a threat that could be stopped by privacy violations like this. We need competence at the EU level or get rid of it as supranational organisations like this seems to loose focus. On a national level the respective governments would need to justify themselves far more directly.
