It’s funny that those chat censorship laws seems to be mostly at EU level. Very few countries have something similar going on locally.



Probably because they know it's not politically popular. As members of the EU, they can work with their commissioners to bring in unpopular legislation and then blame the eu if anyone complains. The UK used to do this a lot, and I expect other countries do it too.


I don't know if youre trying to imply I said any thing about the censorship law, but all I was pointing out was that leaving the EU doesn't change anything about parent's idea about voting left/right/whatever.


What I'm saying, it looks like those are pushed at EU level seemingly by bureaucratic apparatus regardless of ruling parties. Yet such ideas seem to be nowhere to be found at home, again regardless of ruling parties.

I'm probably wrong, but my gut feeling is that euro bureaucracy is playing it's own game. And it has little in common with democracy, citizen rights and citizen will at large. Infamous Juncker's phrase about how to push through unpopular regulations is the modus operandi of those people.


What I'm saying is why are you commenting it to me? I don't care either way. There's other comments that your reply would fit better under. Trying to drag everyone into an EU good/EU bad discussion is not what everyone wants. I simply stated that leaving the EU doesn't make left/right disappear, which is true. You can argue your separate point to me all you want, but I dont really care.
