The European Union, once praised for its pro-privacy legislation, is now leading the charge toward a future with less privacy, one where the government can use your devices to spy on you.
As part of its efforts, the bloc has repeatedly introduced its Chat Control legislation, aimed at weakening the encryption that protects messaging services and force providers to provide a client-side backdoor for law enforcement.

Privacy refers to more than just privacy regarding the government.
Your threat model and situation might mean if the government knows something, its as bad as if every single person knows it.
But this isn’t for everyone.
If you are a human being living under the control of a government, the government is absolutely a threat to you.
Yes, in an dictatorship where the gov have always access to your data and activity, but in the EU they need for it an court order to access the data from an individual. Meanwhile US companies like Google, are even reading your mail.
I don’t see how this supports your previous claim of: “If you don’t have privacy from the government, you don’t have privacy.”
