Oh yes I’m almost as smart as the geniuses involved in EU tech laws that wanted to spy on all your encrypted conversations.

Clearly the EU only employs the best and brightest, who never make stupid decisions.

Do you mean the one that was proposed and then was immediately shot down? Try reading beyond the headline. Any representative can propose a law, doesn’t mean it’ll get voted through and enacted.

Could is not the problem. Nearly all of today’s problems could be solved through effective legislation. The problem isn’t could they, it’s would they and who would push for the updated laws.

Like I said, the law doesn’t need to be updated as it was forward-thinking in its design. It already allows for emerging standards. And why would they decide not to update it? That’s an absurd theory, why would they do that?
