Me neither. Lately the EU Commission came up with a plan to create an inventory of every single valuable items owned by every single EU citizen: from Magic The Gathering and Pokemon cards to jewelry/heirloom, paintings, gold and silver coins/bars, cryptocurrencies coins, watches, cars, boats, etc. Anything with some value: would go in the inventory. The European Parliament asked the question: "Can you guarantee us this will never ever be used as a basis to confiscate these items?" to which the European Commission answered: "No, we cannot guarantee that".

That's basically where we're at in the EU now.

Full commie style inventory of every single item with any value. And it's obvious that either taxation of confiscation is the end goal.

It's not passed yet as a law, but that's the kind of thing the EU Commission has its busy bees working on.

If I have to choose: as an EU citizen I'm not just a bit but much more comfortable with my data in the hands of US companies than EU ones. Now of course I'd prefer my data to be neither with Uncle Sam nor with the EU but that's not realistic.
