The EU is generally a positive influence in the tech sector but I can't understand supporting mass surveillance. Isn't this the exact opposite of what they were trying to achieve with GDPR? Are they only opposed to spying when someone else is doing it?
The EU isn't just one simple entity, it's doing good things and bad things at the same time. Considering the recent election of the parliament, 'security'-focused rethoric seems to resonate with the people.
To be fair, conservatives have been wanting this for a long time and this isn't something entirely new.
