The regular Joe doesn't really care to be honest. I have talked about it around me a bit and most people who do not work in tech or who don't have a certain interest in online privacy or privacy in general don't know about it. Of course when you ask the citizens of the EU if they are cool about being monitored at all times by the EU LEOs then they don't want it but the commission wants it bad. All this is due from the heavy lobbying that has been happening in Brussels. The worst part is that this is happening while the EU is saying that it wants data sovereignty, and wants to become less dependent on the software coming from the US, but it's ready to get in bed with a US company in order to deploy this mass surveillance system who supposedly is very good at finding CP. Nevermind the fact that it means that every bit of online communication will be analyzed and dissected by a corporation that is out of reach of the EU. But the commission is not stupid, they carved themselves a nice little clause so that they can be exempted from such mass surveillance. I guess they understand that having all telecommunications monitored by a for profit company that is not from the EU could lead to some embarrassing data leaks, just like we saw with AT&T but they don;t care if it's our data that leaks as long as it's not theirs. That is why to me GDPR is just a facade. You can't seriously say that you are pro privacy and pro democracy if you keep trying to recreate the Stasi on a larger scale.
