I personally don't see anything wrong with this. If a private company would do this, sure. But the EU, no. They are non-profit and very unlikely to ever turn rogue.
edit: I even welcome this change. You can dislike how you wish, I stand by my view.

Why do you think freedom is made by the government and not the peoples?
And yes, of course, it's a law in Spain - that's the point of this conversation, that such laws exist (or can be introduced), and then selectively enforced against those the government wants to target for whatever reason, even in an ostensibly-liberal democracy.
Let me give you another example. In Russia, there was an "anti-extremism" law passed a few years ago that made it a crime to make public statements that "foment hatred or enmity against identifiable social groups". I can think of quite a few Western progressives who would probably cheer something like that as written. Only it turns out that e.g. police is an "identifiable social group", too, and so are members of the parliament!
The government that replaced it, did so on the promise of democracy and liberalism. It took less than 10 years for that all to go down the drain.
And then we've all seen 9/11 and what happened in liberal democracies after that, when various far-reaching anti-terrorism legislation was rushed through, and then routinely used by law enforcement in completely unrelated matters.
This entire argument - that Western governments are somehow exempt from the curse of corrupting power, and therefore letting them centralize more and more is not a problem - has already been disproven experimentally.
