    Why? What could the EU gain by giving personal data of its citizens to a country that illegally eavesdrops on them?

      Not sure if your serious or joking about what you know but countries have laws about spying on their own people but not as much non citizens and foreign locations. They don’t have laws about not sharing information about their citizens from a foreign government. So these kind of things allow them to bypass their internal privacy laws.

      Because their politicians are playing their people, it’s the same across the west, the oligarchy controls all main parties, and the far right sponsored by malign foreign influence, ahem, is the only one running as reform, dooming us all to them winning eventually, and putting a fix in.

      But that’s another story. They are surrendering us to tech, and to fascism, because they aren’t on our side. We are collectively too stupid to realize it. Because they think they will benefit, and we have nothing but nihilists in charge.

      The Rothschilds are largely French. The EU is also entagled in the surveillance state the Epstein class is building

        Bro, are not the rothschilds not the main drivers at this point in time? Why would you mention them in particular? Are they even in the Epstein files that we know about? I imagine they aren’t because they are likely tight with Israel and Epstein was an Israeli honeypot op.

        Pieces of shit I don’t doubt, but are they the driving force here? Like did you just pick up an early 20th century history book and run with that?

          Oh yes, they’re in there a lot. Like a lot a lot. Like Epstein introduced himself as their money manager. One of those few emails that can only really be interpreted as hunting humans for sport was to or from a Rothschild I forget which. Might have been a spouse and it was both sides.

          You’ve some reading to do. Did you see the Ghislaine Maxwell invite to be on the 9/11 shadow commission? Yes, Seriously.

        Uh? It’s a bit less generic than that… some activities of governments are excluded from the scope but not all data processing from government agencies are.

        For example this particular personal data processing likely fits under the prevention of criminal offences and threats to public security and is highly unfortunate but let’s keep shit factual.

      The only thing that makes the EU bureaucracy seem like it’s functional are competing national interests. When all nations are being targeted by foreign automated propaganda through their social networks to promote shifts in their governments to allow this sort of bull, it doesn’t even matter that the US is directly issuing threats against the EU, only just what corrupt long time career politicians can get out of it.
