The people behind this are either incredibly short-sighted, have zero knowledge on this topic or are just plain old malevolent. Here’s hoping it’s not all three.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, every major power is going to copy China and there’s not much one can do about it, their policies really have been far-sighted. But you shouldn’t see data collection as a political tool, you see, the EU is behind in AI and since practically of the EU’s personal data is stored in the US (because they all use GAFA), they can’t train their models properly. China created the firewall, blocked GAFA (and of course political threats), and developed their own domestic Internet industry; now China is ahead in AI facial and speech recognition. There’s a EU Commission paper that proposes a European firewall that functions like the Chinese version because they know they will fall behind. In the US they already have the “Clean Network” and they’re going to block TikTok and WeChat.
Great. As if the internet isn’t already full of snooping algorhythms and bots already.
I would like to quote a video game on this opportunity:

Encryption wars here we go again

Ah ah. If they apply such thing, they’re really stupid. Sure that France would agree with banning encryption tough. Hope there will be one of the countries being more intelligent.
Seems like the logical step after covid has already subdued the sheep.
