Regardless of the supposed motivations, this is mass surveillance on a scale never seen before. The EU wants to become China 2.0.
Why the need to compare to China though? People can understand that mass surveillance is bad without resorting to "China bad". Go ask Snowdon if China is the mother of all surveillance.
China is bad. It is a brutal dictatorship in the middle of committing 2 genocides. Uyghurs and Falun Gong.
How's that related to this post
China is surveilling its people to then have unliked people disappear.
Again, how is that relevant to EU surveillance
