You should read their policy
I have.
It includes "compliance with EU regulations" which in this case is soon going to involve redirecting and tracking visitors to sites such as thepiratebay.
Fully expect this to be a move to enable them to enforce this via blocking DNS providers that don't comply with censorship lists, instead directing people to use this.
I don't need an EU DNS, I already have OpenDNS.
Which are already required, in a form or another, for every EU member, so ?
To make it extra clear. I don't want to be subjected to these kinds of regulations. They are an infringement upon my personal freedoms and my privacy.
I don't want these regulations to exist. If they exist, I'd prefer they be unenforceable. If they try to enforce them, I'll try to circumvent them.
The internet wants to be free.
That guy thinks that the EU is one entity, not consisting of many member states.
Also it sounds like he only read headlines. Otherwise he would know that the EU survelliance bill is a proposal, which any member state can make in a democracy.
Guess the propaganda got to him if he belives more what he reads in a headline instead of what actions the EU actually makes.
The EU is one entity, consisting of several member states. Just like my own country consists of many regions and municipalities with their own elected officials.
Member states are forced to comply with legislation passed by the EU, even if a majority of the citizens of a state do not want to implement it. Technically there are two other options - sufferimg massive fines and punitive actions by the EU, or leaving. I'd rather not have to endure either of those, so instead I complain, loudly, online, to politicians, MPs and MEPs.
Member states are forced to comply with legislation passed by the EU writing their own laws. An EU directive has no effect in Italy unless a law that acknowledges it is enacted. True, we must write a law that implement the directive but it is not an automatism.
This is exactly what I wrote in the comment you replied to, albeit with different wording? Basically the only other options if the nation does not want to comply is: a) suffering punitive actions from the EU indefinitely or until they comply or b) leaving the EU.
Yeah, sure. Go complain about your life in the EU. Must be awful.
Maybe go outside and enjoy your privileged life in Europe.
It is not that living in EU remove our right to criticize what we think is not working.
And currently there is a lot that not work in EU, or that can work way better.
