Independent report, which has been posted before. It doesn’t even seem to be as deep as controlling the population, rather they just take big US tech money in exchange for pushing these laws.
Wouldn’t it be easier and more direct to simply impose a tax to those external big tech services?
I don’t understand why using protection against “bad actors” as an excuse is necessary at all if getting money from big tech were the ultimate goal. A lot of people within the EU would happily support such a tax targeting big US companies, it’s the privacy problems what we are pushing against, not the fees. So I’d expect a more direct and honest fee for external companies making business within the EU would be easier to pass if that were what they actually wanted, wouldn’t it?
Tax goes to the government account, politicians don’t profit from it as they have determined wages. Lobbying money goes to multiple individuals pockets. So the individuals need to convince the whole parlament that a certain law is good, then they get paid. Thats why they lie.

As an old nerd I’ve lived through previous battles in the crypto wars.
Often that US tech money comes from peculiar places, like In-Q-Tel, for example.
