Maybe the Brexiteers were right all along.

Which are the most privacy-focused nations in the EU that might leave over a law like this?
> For the record, UK has much worse laws already on the books, as do the US or Australia.
First of all, who said that the US or UK didn't? That's misdirection. This story is about the EU. What I posited, is member states leaving the EU, those that are heavily concerned about privacy rights. What would that have to do with the US laws?
> Also this lae doesn't oblige anyone to anything, its a temporary law that comes in as another law ran out
A temporary mass surveillance bill. Yeah right. You were saying something about uninformed.
As regards the brexit comment, you are right my writing was unnecessarily harsh but you missed the main point:
> By virtue of the eu legal process this law only exists because Italy voted in favour of it, like all other EU countries.
The history of much EU bashing is that national governments vote YES in Brussels then turn around and say nationally 'really sorry we are obliged to implement this EU law' -- the very law they could have vetoed if they had wanted to. This is one of the basics of EU lawmaking which the previous commenter clearly was ignorant of.
