Europe doesn't work that way (yet), there is no political weaponization of phone charges.

The European Parliament is advertising this as a win for the EU. Yet it isn’t entirely uncontroversial and there’s plenty of voices arguing it’s overreaching - easy to argue this matches the broad definition of political weaponization as-is.

"plenty of voices" doesn't mean any of them have merit

IMHO it's also closer to "dozens of us", than some critical mass of people strongly disagreeing.
