Typical braindead EU bureaucracy at action. I expect illegal crypto laws soon.
That is the problem with regulators - first they regulate sane stuff. Everybody benefits from clean water and food. Then we regulate the semi sane stuff - like how much space a cow need and what is humane - well that makes some sense. It may not be the urgent problems, but animal cruelty is bad.
And then when they run out, just to keep the staff employed and budgets growing they try to regulate unregulatable stuff.
Just put that unfiltered, unmonitored and encrypted internet is a human right. And then hear the scream of the bureaucracy.
- halvsjur 14y agoEver expanding bureaucracy is a problem, and the EU has a track record of turning several truly idiotic ideas into law. But people discussing EU regulations should be aware that the level of bullshit and outright lies coming out of the UK press in this regard is staggering. Some nice examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqVJEZnYiZo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqVJEZnYiZo
- jasonm23 14y ago"level of bullshit and outright lies coming out of the UK press" ... ...staggering would imply a degree of shock. They've been doing this since the EU/ECM began.
- Feint1 14y agoThe worst bit is that there's actually a chance it'll pass into law. I remember laughing about the proposed cookie law and the incandescent light bulb ban before they actually managed to successfully get both through the European Parliament. I hope the British people do get a referendum on Europe soon. We've had enough of this rubbish.
