I blame the businesses for destroying the social fabric of the internet, and I simultaneously blame the EU for implementing pointless regulations that do not solve the first problem while making life miserable for its subjects.
Businesses: destroy the social fabric of the internet
Regulation, literally: do not collect people's data without their consent if you don't require that data for services you provide. Applies in equal measure to websites, banks, grocery stores, shit processing plants and nuclear power stations.
...
4ad: I still blame the EU, and it's a pointless regulation.
You seem to think that the EU should be imune from criticism because it tries to do the right thing.
No, when politicians make things worse and absolutely don't solve any problem they promised they will solve then they should be held accountable, removed from positions of power, and replaced with competent people who write better regulation.
Edit to your edit: indeed, the EU is mostly about making people miserable while convincing them it's actually better for them.
