Europe's privacy protections only seem to apply to what companies can do. Their governments seem to be perfectly happy with your privacy being invaded as long as they're the ones doing it.
This is absolutely not true. The privacy protections in Europe apply to companies and governments alike, to the great chagrin of our police forces and the intelligence services.
Democratic governments doing sucks, because they shouldn't. In the cade of a democracy we still have elections as a way to change policy.
Im case of companies based in other countries there is not even that, there is basically nothing I can do, as a EU citizen, to prevent companies from spying at me. Not even voting. I can refuse using that companies hardware or services, which is hard enough with the likes of FANG or MS.
