    Sorry, I’m writing this everywhere, but the bigger concern is dictatorships stealing personal data for their advantage. And I’m sure they won’t care too much about EU laws regarding private data collection. The EU should focus their resources on that fight instead.

    I’m not too worried about this. It’ll likely get struck down in the courts like the last ruling.
