Regardless of the supposed motivations, this is mass surveillance on a scale never seen before. The EU wants to become China 2.0.
Why the need to compare to China though? People can understand that mass surveillance is bad without resorting to "China bad". Go ask Snowdon if China is the mother of all surveillance.
"Bruh why would you compare them to the largest surveillance state in the world bro. Saying how the EU would be more like the the most widely-known example of government surveillance and blocking of Internet traffic is just saying China bad, bro.
