    People in Reddit and sometimes here always praise the EU as some bastion of privacy, and I always got downvoted when I said that this isn’t always true. And now here we are. I hope people don’t forget this after a month, like they always do.

      They will, and you’re screaming into the wind sadly.

      What you can do is never forget and base your voting decisions to include this as a priority going forward. Endorse and support companies that protect privacy.

      It’s a long uphill battle and every little thing can help no matter how small.

          Yeah, no. What’s likely to happen is that you will remember this, completely miss the memo that the law didn’t pass and then go on spreading misinformation about the EU.
