Undermining Democracy: The EU Commission's Controversial Push for Surveillance
The title should be shortened from <i>&quot;Undermining Democracy: The European Commission&#x27;s Controversial Push for Digital Surveillance&quot;</i> simply to:<p><i>&quot;Undermining Democracy: The European Commission&quot;</i>.<p>The EC is sheer horror. The thousands of years old saying: <i>&quot;The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state&quot;</i> has never been truer.<p>I&#x27;ve done a short consulting gig at the European Parliament, which at least tries to be the good guys. But the EP is tiny compared to the EC and the EC is pulling the strings: the EP is supposed to bring some kind of democracy but there&#x27;s none.<p>All these rules are benefitting people in power and they&#x27;re all ever more intrusive.<p>For example the MiCA one (Markets in Digital Assets), which is <i>not</i> at all only about cryptocurrencies&#x2F;crypto-tokens (it&#x27;s also about upcoming centralized &quot;euro coin&quot; emitted by EU central banks), is sheer horror too. I&#x27;ve read it all and it&#x27;s madness. Insanity.<p>It&#x27;s all about control. Complete, total and utter control over every single aspect of EU citizens&#x27; lives.<p>They want to know <i>everything</i> about <i>everyone</i>: nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.<p>Those who believe it&#x27;s &quot;for our own good&quot; are out of their minds.
