We only have to lose once. Erosion is a process.

Every country should fight for constitutional protections for its citizens' rights to (internet) privacy. But that'll never have support from politicians, and laypeople don't have the ability to appreciate this highly technical and nuanced topic.

It's only when opposition is mounted to each individual attempt that we can rally public support. Sadly, we can only muster this energy in the face of losing freedom. And it only has to falter once.

In practice, this is likely both unconstitutional in many member states and at least pretty dodgy with respect to the EU’s can’t-believe-it’s-not-a-constitution.
