Chat Control: Incompatible with Fundamental Rights (2022)

I'd love to see Europe again becoming a beautifully decentralized region - with many shared values but no shared politicians.

Can you give more details as to when, and how, it was a "beautifully decentralized region"?

In my opinion it was so before the American smartphones took the prevalent market share.

Absolutely. Brexit proofed that this is a really great idea. Who doesn't want to start paying through the nose for roaming again?

The idea that just abandoning a thing with some issues is better than trying to repair it (or even just keep it as is), does not seem quite realistic today. Even the various national politicians who wanted to do a *xit before the UK did this have quietly dropped those ambitions.

Dumb laws exist globally. Don't expect this to go away if tomorrow it was all up to the national governments again. Collectively getting bad laws like these repealed or changed is much more likely though.

They really should just be an economic block and only have laws to ensure fair business and tax structures across the continent and drop these totalitarian schemes pushed on the people to take away their rights. Hopefully they will wise up after a few of these violations of their basic human rights.
