| If you're ever unsure about whether a proposed EU regulation may be good or bad, just look at whether Hungary supports it: if so, it's bad; if not, it might be good. Egészségére! |

| I'm Polish and I was positivity shocked that we oppose it. I remember attending some protests against ACTA which as far as I remember was supposed to be something similar, back in my student days. It was -17°C and people still showed up. Apparently we have some culture of opposing censorship and invigilation by state. May come in handy if the democratic decline keeps progressing... |

| ▲ | subscribed an hour ago | parent [-] | | Could be a wordplay due to the fact "invigilation" can be translated to and from the Polish word with a _very_ heavy and long connotations to the USSR state surveillance, oppression and abuse. Surveillance would be a more "modern" (even if more natural or seemingly correct word), without this sort of the implied baggage. |

| There a practical reason for this? like more alignment with lobbyists, for whatever financial reasons? |

Hence, everything their government does is the opposite of what a typical European Union member would approve of. | | | |
