Thanks, I couldn't have written it better.
@lprd It was all over the news in the German language sphere, which I happen to receive via satellite. (German and Austrian news). I don't have links at the ready but you're able to find them with a little google-fu (or similar search engine).
I remind the readers about the upload filters "guidelines" and other internet censorship "guidelines". The EU is not a democracy, it's a corrupt rule of a few political elites.
And they want to spy on us.
First they went the NSA route, and when that blew up because of Edward Snowden, now they want their own NSA.
In which democracy does a parliament elected by the people have 0 rights over a council? And the council has veto power about anything the parliament decides?
Is that a democracy? No it's not.

Those are the people who make the rules: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/european-council/members/
It doesn't matter who's in the parliament as they're powerless to decide anything meaningful.
