Funny, everytime governments remove people's freedoms they do it for "security", even though most of these things aren't actually making us more secure.

Governments gonna govern. Fewer freedoms thanks to laws and regulation that hide behind CSAM, AML, CFT, pushed in the last two years while activist groups were less likely to assemble and protest.

Somehow the EU is good when it promotes GDPR but bad when it touches crypto?

I even think when considering GDPR the EU went too far. It ruinned website experience with all those cookies garbages.

Dumb politicians who never did anything else than politics creating popular laws just to look like they're actually doing something.

GDPR is not only cookies. It's also new data practices, audits and fines, happening as we speak.
