...would laugh if it wasnt so serious, lots of eu institutuins are also listed, looks like what the tobacco lobby did before, to not have any laws on smoking, now its about privacy.

thanks for making me aware of this. this looks like the right place for governments to gather around a campfire payed & operated by surveillance capitalists, to exchange some "suggestions" about how to best herd the cattle.
