New EU Consumer Protection Law Contains a Vague Website Blocking Clause
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/g ... ng-clause/
The European Union (EU) has voted on Tuesday, November 14, to pass the new Consumer Protection Cooperation regulation, a new EU-wide applicable law that gives extra power to national consumer protection agencies, but which also contains a vaguely worded clause that also grants them the power to block and take down websites without judicial oversight.
EU is getting closer to totalitarian regimes we already know very well and got rid of. It'll be abused to block websites publishing "incorrect" information about terrible EU politics.

So the EU becomes totalitarian...by giving more power to national agencies?
Maybe you should look at your own country and the problems you face. The Czech Republic just elected its very own Trump, who said he was willing to work with Communists and the far-right for a new government.

Re: New EU Consumer Protection Law Contains a Vague Website Blocking Clause
Moscow had also delegated power to individual communist bloc countries, still globally controlled. Sounds familiar?
Yes. He is actually more like Berlusconi (but with communist secret police background) than Trump. We (both countries) have our own serious problems, no need to make it worse from top of EU. 591 members of EU parliament voted yes, 80 against only. This is sad result.

None of the EU membership countries is or was controlled directly by the EU at any point of time. So no, it does not sound familiar. The EU is still a union of democratic and independent member states. Any member state can leave at any point if they wish to.
