    You’re missing the point. Who proposed it isn’t the important part. It’s what they intend to do with the legislation if it passes.

      Than what is the connection if it doesn’t matter who proposed it? You said they are related because Hungary proposed it. Your two comments contradict themself.

      I know what these laws about I just wrote that the news about spying on OLAF came out on the same week is not really related to the other news. Shitty governments, mini dictators do awful things all the time, I know, I live in this, but they rarely reach the global news sites. Now 2 news appeared on international sites at the same time, that’s all the direct connection.

      Also that’s just my not fully related take that I like to differentiate targeted spying from mass surveillance. Both of them are terrible and shouldn’t happen but the goals and tools used for them are very different. This news is about targeted surveillance, and common folks doesn’t have to fear from such an intrusion, because the tools used hardly scale to more order of magnitude targets. This news is about wiretapping a handful of individuals, not about using laws to read all messages.
