The EU is literally trying to do it right now: theverge.com/…/eu-chat-control-law-propose-scanni…
UK… Not EU… Haven’t you heard of Brexit? They wouldn’t be allowed to do shit like that in the EU.

Listen. I’m American. You can’t expect me to keep up with all the incredibly confusing regions and governments over there.

Upvoted you because I’m an euro and I still kinda agree with you. If Texas secedes, I have no idea what the implications are for legislation and court cases. It’s like half the size of the UK by population and 3x as big by area.
Sure everyone heard of brexit, but I’m sure many outside of the EU don’t know what it really is plus it took so damn long I honestly believed it might not even happen.

If Texas secedes, they can have fun on their own with their kangaroo court politics.
Truth be told, if Texas were to actually succeed in seceding, it would likely lead to a domino effect of other southern states following suit, and a royal fracturing of the US. How that plays out is anyone’s guess.
