It’s a shame, it helps to uphold the law against muggers and other anti-social behaviour.

The EU has become increasingly anti-tech recently - with the DSA, and proposed Chat Control act, AI act, etc. - it’s a shame to see.

The EU is not anti-tech, it’s anti US Big Tech. The DMA is way overdue, the AI act actually follows existing precedent and is also only protecting people. Companies and foreign governments are already exploiting AI against citizens.

Chat control is absolute lunacy though.
