Honestly, rather a "unelected EU bureaucrat" (What does this even mean? Are we going to individually elect the entire civil service, or require elected officials to delegate nothing and personally review every decision?) than an American tech-bro governing my internet usage.

Amazing that I have to point out what the function of the government is to someone who complains about tech bros...you sound like a libertarian...

But yes, one of the functions of the government is to dictate how common public goods are used within that country. Public transports, roads, and yes...the internet. As a result, there needs to be political accountability for that function. I said nothing about an elected civil service, as with every discussion of politics in the modern day you seem to be more concerned with what you imagine I must think than what I said. The idea of political accountability is a cornerstone of modern democracy.

The left-wing mind has been so utterly destroyed that they take extreme libertarian positions to justify why bureaucrats in another country should take over functions of their own government.
