>It seems like the EU in general is struggling badly with how to control internet access. It struggles badly with how to control everything more and more. What was an economic union of markets has become an uber-government that gives more and more power to itself. Not that the US or the rest is far behind, but in this case it's accompanied with even more incompetence and disconnected to the real problems.

The EU was never just an economic union of markets. Hell, the Schuman declaration from 1950, the closest thing it has to a founding document, calls for an ever closer union.

  That how it was sold, whatever Schuman had in mind, and increasingly encroached scope that Europeans voted again and again against. The original actual scope was even more limited than a unified market: coal and steel control.
