DSA was pushed by the very controversial Thierry Breton, former CEO of Atos, then European commissioner for the internal market, now on the advisory council of Bank of America.

Atos btw is the company that leads in receiving money to construct Europe's virtual security infrastructure.

But the proposal was ultimately supported by a substantial majority in parliament, led by the christians, socialists. liberals and greens.

It's a clown show, that "French Big Tech company" Atos stock price went from 10000 to 40 euros in 25 years [0] and is now being sold into pieces because it has 5B debt [1] and is hopeless . I heard him talk once on youtube he is a total moron.

Great if those type of people are in charge there is nothing to worry about. The only downside is the Internet might get slower in Europe.

At the end EU citizen might just be told to put the EU in CC of every messages you send, invited to every chat group, and tagged on every social media posts. If you don't you go to prison.

I mean during Covid the french gov mandated them to print and fill a new form every time they took their dog out to pee. So that is not far fetch.
