In the USA our founding fathers wrote the constitution to limit government, not citizens. For sure, we have strayed away from this ideal, but things here are not as bad as apparently they are in the EU.

Related: you are in an audit. The auditor asks you if you know what the time is. Correct answer: yes.
Because the current administration of the U.S is creating its own legal monstrosities, people should just clam up about a complete grab on communications privacy from another major government?
In no way did I suggest that European citizens should become complacent. I just wanted to question if the government commissioning a report which suggests they take a further look at some actions which could possibly infringe on privacy and which explicitly talks about doing it with respect to national privacy laws is really do much worse than people being disappeared by a government who is openly hostile to the rulings of the courts as well as to the media who dare to question it.
If there was any whatabout then it was in the GP comment, so maybe direct your ire towards them.
