Yeah, the place so bad it got the Nazi ambassador who was a card carrying member of the SS to start hiding and protecting people.

Nothing to see here.

Wouldn’t that put the government in default? And sink the US Dollar?

Well yeah, they are not attacking Signal the company, just their core busibess model.

Yeah, to be honest if you need to hide from the government, don’t use Proton. Actually, don’t use email.

Proton is good for hiding from Google and Facebook, and not having a life full of ads.

There is no such thing as a precedent in EU law. Any court can in general disagree with any other court. Appeals still exist, but they are only valid for that one case.

Judges don’t make laws here.

The EU in general uses civil law, not common law. Courts in general don’t establish precedents, so it does not matter what a court rules beyond that specific case, laws are wrtitten to be super specific, and you generally can’t challenge laws in court like in the US.

The EU works through a double process of lawmaking.

It can create directives that are like how US laws work as they need specific interpretation, except it’s national legislatures, not courts doing the interpretation.

And there are regulations - like the GDPR - that have to be adapted and enforced verbatim.

This is a cornerstone of the ongoing Big Tech dispute, they thought they can forum shop by buying the Irish judiciary, but they can still get indicted, even for the same violation, in any other EU court if that court also has jurisdiction.
