What is wrong with the eu? Why do they need to always ban end to end encryption?
5 eyes. Politicians are puppets.
Wait, you have a choice to vote for either puppet 1, puppet 2, or puppet 3. Your choice matters! … as long as the politicians podiums are provided by the rich we don’t have a real say.
As I remember at the moment partly Von Der Leyen, the current Commission president. She is a German Christian democrat and apparently bit with capital C.

Von Der Leyen is a swinger clubber
