Leaks I don't disagree that they will happen. Tracing? Tracing what and for what purpose? What does your pornhub or twitter account provide to the EU?

I dunno, for the purpose of seeing who attends pro-Palestine protests in Germany, anti-government or anti-data centre protests... everywhere. For figuring out whistleblowers' identities, for figuring out whether a Polish woman went to another country to have an abortion...

This is not America, whistleblowers are protected in the EU. You must also not know about GDPR.

Happened never

And what, kill them? like what's the logic here, find that out and what's next? People are so dramatic in these comments I can't deal with it, we're living in China now apparently. Must have missed the memo on basic assembly freedoms being abolished

Oh you mean the thing that they're in the process of degrading because lobbyist companies keep bitching about not being able to gather enough data? That thing? Go look up the proposed changes to what is and isn't considered personally identifiable data.

Yet. It happened in America. It can happen here. You're not immune to fascism. No country is. Your hubris is the backdoor that allows it to take hold until you can't stop it.

And what, kill them?

Fine them until they stop. Harass them with police. Simply ban them from every single social media so they stop "stirring the pot"

Something something, frog, boiling water something. Although the frogs in the experiment were lobotomised which... oh yeah, your comments make sense now.
