Sure. And that's reasonable. The US will do that.

I just think it goes against the original promises, and national sovereignty is being widdled away by larger governing bodies like the EU.

Okay, the legislation being suggested to monitor communications isn't totalitarian?

There are regulations on toasters!

Problematic, Misguided, and can be abused by totalitarian regimes. Oh and also likely in conflict with EU law, Human Rights and some member constitution.

Which are very good reasons to prevent it.

But it's not necessary totalitarian by itself.
