So coming to a jurisdiction near you. Also being at that level means it's way more difficult to make anyone do anything about it. We need to be wary of these kinds of things so that future generations do not end up in an Orwellian nightmare. IT’s especially scary because it’s at EU level. So coming to a jurisdiction near you.

First, they want to rate every website like movies, now they hack into people's computers without warrant... More and more the states are going to take control and scrutinize everything... it seems Orwell will be right in the end and there won't be any difference between these states and other so-called "dictatorial" states from around the world (the label will be the only difference - democracy and dictatoships...the means of running them will be the same in the end).

As Shevonne said before - computers are like diaries these day and a diary is included in the privacy sphere - which is nearly untouchable. Especially in absence of a judicial decree. Buerocracy costs for this useless crap legislation: Billions. Time until the European Court of Justice will fix this crap: Years. Congratulations.

Others might say, "If you have nothing to hide, why do you care?" A computer is sacred. It's like a diary that you don't want your parents to read, even if you aren't trying to hide anything.
