Yes, indeed.
I don't understand the EU any more:
On the one hand they say freedom of speech, on the other hand "pre-bunking".

I saw a proposal to scan all images someone wants to upload and scan it for "possible" p*d* content. Seems pretty close to dictatorship and very far away from the Democracy values they try to push in many Middle Eastern countries.

Another such paradox is that on the one hand they push KYC/AML policy for the entire crypto space but for their own Digital Euro project, they choose (which started as of January 2024) NGI-Taler (https://taler.net/en/ngi-taler.html) an implementation of GNU Taler that is focused on the anonymity of the payer?

And like this, there are many examples. Sometimes I feel that Europe sits on a raging bull.
