> You are describing common procedures here. Welcome to EU. /s

You are grossly uninformed. Some EU countries even encoded in their own constitution how the state neither has the right to gather specific types of data on their population, such as race and political affiliation, but also they can't gather data that can used to track people, such as cross-referencing data across ministries.

Please provide any substance to your personal assertion.



EU (Europe in general) has an enormous bureaucracy, that wants to know everything about its citizens e.g. you have to register after every move. Then on top of requiring the state knows, you have an expectation of privacy.


If you're going to make this claim, here's what else you should specify before your comment has any meaning at all:

- how do you measure the size of a bureaucracy

- what is the size of EU's bureaucracy

- what make it qualify as enormous, or compared to what

Failing that, stop parroting right wing memes.


And the example of extreme data collection he comes up with is having to register where you live? It would be funny if he wasn't serious.


> EU (Europe in general) has an enormous bureaucracy, that wants to know everything about its citizens e.g. you have to register after every move.

You are painfully uninformed. In the most charitable interpretarion of what you're mindlessly saying, at best you're talking about things like in which town you pay municipal taxes and where you vote. Neither have anything whatsoever to do with privacy.

And you are still yet to provide any substance to your personal assertion.

> Then on top of requiring the state knows, you have an expectation of privacy.

You are throwing wild unsubstantiated claims. Either you add specifics or you're just spewing disinformation.


They are just repeating something they heard a politician tell them as if it's fact.
