    EU law prevents any government from accessing your email or other data, whereas the US demands easy access to your data. That’s what I’m referring to.

    But I’ve also never heard of them blocking anyone’s email, and certainly not in retaliation for investigating war crimes.

      Ok so no, there are no laws to prevent any government in Europe doing the exact same thing.

      If you think that no government agencies in Europe are spying on your data, oh boy do I have news for you lol

      The EU wants backdoors to all your data for law enforcement!

        Not “the EU”, but one particular group in the EU. This sort of thing pops up every couple of years, and unlike in the US, it always gets shot down. The current law says the exact opposite.

          You said EU law prevents any government from accessing your data. That is a government trying to legislate accessing your data.

          It won’t always get shot down, because they all want it.

            The parliaments don’t, and they don’t have the loyalty to the security apparatus that US Congress has.

            Either way, this is a distinct and important difference between the US and the EU, and a frequent point of disagreement in treaties and discussions between the two. It’s silly to claim they’re the same on this.
