Care to share some details?

When it comes to privacy invasion the EU has been a champion in curbing massively intrusive corporate practices for years now.

Some of it is awful yes, but other high visibility projects have been amazing. I'm glad to be European when I look at the insanity that is the American tracking and personal data brokers industry.

I recommend a recent John Oliver on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqn3gR1WTcA

So private entities can't snoop on me, just thee government?

hell yes!

Government is a body of elected people, by the people.

And it's subject to the people's scrutiny!
