    The EU is already trying to block and censor ips via DNS, so I don’t trust this initiative at all, nor, frankly, do I trust the EU as an organization. It should stick to foreign policy, not trying to overrule our national governments to force legislation onto us that we don’t want.

        I have.

        It includes “compliance with EU regulations” which in this case is soon going to involve redirecting and tracking visitors to sites such as thepiratebay.

        Fully expect this to be a move to enable them to enforce this via blocking DNS providers that don’t comply with censorship lists, instead directing people to use this.

        I don’t need an EU DNS, I already have OpenDNS.

        That guy thinks that the EU is one entity, not consisting of many member states.

        Also it sounds like he only read headlines. Otherwise he would know that the EU survelliance bill is a proposal, which any member state can make in a democracy.

        Guess the propaganda got to him if he belives more what he reads in a headline instead of what actions the EU actually makes.

          The EU is one entity, consisting of several member states. Just like my own country consists of many regions and municipalities with their own elected officials.

          Member states are forced to comply with legislation passed by the EU, even if a majority of the citizens of a state do not want to implement it. Technically there are two other options - sufferimg massive fines and punitive actions by the EU, or leaving. I’d rather not have to endure either of those, so instead I complain, loudly, online, to politicians, MPs and MEPs.

            Yeah, sure. Go complain about your life in the EU. Must be awful.

            Maybe go outside and enjoy your privileged life in Europe.

      This isn’t really on topic but since you mentioned it, the only way for Europe to stay relevant is if we integrate more.

        That depends on what you mean by integrate. There are many clear examples where it makes no sense to enforce homogenous legislation. Europe is a big place, and it makes sense to have different systems in different places.

        Take tires for instance - in the Scandinavian countries we require winter tires for the season, something which would make no sense in Italy for instance.
