Its so fascinating how our EU can switch between fucking good decisions and fucking terrible decisions all the time. I hope this will be avoided by the parliament

In multiple ways, contrary to the US and I think the EU is currently doing the best job of them all.
I mean you can totally not try to end P2P encryption or allow espionage against journalists by gov agencies. There is nothing power hunger driving them to do so
