So worrying about corporations and privacy from them when the government who literally has a “monopoly on violence” is taking away your privacy is like worrying about a mosquito bite when you have been shot.

I can worry about both, no? Because it's like... I do. And I can praise that the EU found a solution for one case while it's trying to overreach on another, it's not 1 or 0 here.
I still don't get why you brought this up when I'm specifically talking about one case of data privacy where I believe the EU has done right, I believe it's doing wrong with encryption and I'm actively contacting MEPs to share my view.
Again, what's your point? They're different issues, why are you conflating them and creating a strawman?

> This is the crux of it, it's not voluntary association to be a participant in the surveillance economy
The EU doesn’t care about protecting you from “surveillance”.
