Yeah, the EU (and also the UK earlier) were always lecturing to the third world on human rights and tolerance and media freedom/integrity, blah-blah not so long ago. So many pompous speeches made. Now, it is eye-rolling to see them backtrack hard on everything they stood for.
I see you have an axe to grind with EU. That's fine, but I'll say that I also lived in socialism, so I do have experience and perspective of what it was like. And precisely because of that, these EU bans don't worry me at all. I know the difference as opposed to many who think they know the difference.

We are sick of European hypocrisy; lecturing the "third world" on democracy, freedom of the press, human rights, climate change blah blah blah instead of introspecting on the mess within.

I could swear I have read something about the BBC and UK introspecting over this "scandal".

Yeah, right.
As my USAian friend once told me, "it's better to do whatever you want, and then pretend to apologise when you get caught."

Are you okay, man?

I'm okay. Thanks for asking. I suggest you ask yourself the same question.

You first as you're the one having issues.
BBC got caught manipulating videos featuring Trump. 12000 people were detained in the UK for thought crimes. In one year. One little old lady was arrested for praying silently.
France went after Durov.
Russia media IS banned, hiding behind ISP incompetence doesn't count.
Come on. Wake up. We who have lived under actual socialist dictators can see what's happening.
