    As an european guy. Interesting to see things happen from far away. Knowing that crazy country has so much power, makes the near future of the whole world even more scary.

      Indeed. Though omnipresent surveillance and restricted speech is an issue in some of Europe too.

        On the other hand, I see a lot of HackerNewsers and European geeks utterly angry at laws that forbid (blanket) recording of public places and GDPR which controls what the videos can be used for.

        Every EU topic here is filled with people wishing for its destruction and dismantling of such privacy protecting laws.

          Those are likely the same people who want to unconsensually force Flock and other mass surveillance on people. Most well socially adjusted people greatly appreciate those protections.
