Ah my never ending love for EU . Is there a way to donate to the EU ?
I'm a EU Citizen, you can send me the Money ๐ฅธ
Never idolise. Courts simply apply the laws, and good laws were likely written by inspired people and approved in a good political climate. These two conditions are not static.
In this case, the title is misleading. It's not the ECJ, it's the ECHR. The ECHR isn't part of the EU even if the EU and the EU members recognize it.
The ECHR rules according to the ECHR and not the EU regulations. The court can overturn EU regulation when violating the Human Rights.
I didn't open the article before, and you are right. The author of the article lives in Chicago; I think that Ars has no European writer to really understand what they are talking about.
Well, European Union member states have as a criteria of membership to also be members of the European Convention of Human Rights (which is the one the ECHR rules on), but that's about it.
I know i guess i wanna support so they have motivation to go forward. But yes you are absolutely right.
We are always on the brink of ruining everything nice that we have been slowly building.
You can read here about the plans of the European Commission to enable service operators to mass scan all the users' private messages in search of illegal materials.
The Commission is the same super-government body that signed privacy-oriented things like the General Data Protection Regulation.
Yeah i kinda did hear about it and was suprised. But figures can't have anything nice nowadays anyway
It's ECHR, it's not affiliated with the EU.

Didn't know it's a separate entity
The fact of this article is funny - open cannibals joined ECHR, but the EU still can't because they really intend to follow obligations taken.
Until there's a common European military in existence, I wouldn't expect much. Come on, guys, even HRE had that. Sort of.
Maybe buy stuff there? A lot of vpns and other privacy companies and orgs are European.
Will do in the future i am currently using proton
Trust me, the UE have enough money. Please donate to your local homeless shelter instead :3
Good suggestion.
I do whenever i can
I say that because, well, I live near Brussel, I intimately know the insides of the european parliament. Corruption is rampant. Maybe not to the point of the US, but look up lobbying in the european institution and you will see what's up. The UE might seem progressive on the IT front but they are also the ones that forces us to sell public services to banks.
They fund their political campaigns via taxes and put limits on spending and campaign seasons, just buy european-made instead if you're a fan.
Move to EU and pay taxes there. Or buy European products, they pay taxes and some of it go to the EU.
Moving to EU is better option if you can afford it. You'll also get healthcare and other stuff.
beyerdynamic headphones are made in germany, highly recommend.
Can you name any ridiculous laws or regulations that negatively affect you? I have a hard time recalling any EU law or regulation that directly affects me without a good reason.
Also, can you name a nation without laws that negatively affect you or could be considered stupid?
That doesn't seem like a stupid or ridiculous regulation, you even agree that the basic idea is cool. The issue here isn't the idea of the regulation, but the implementation by manufacturers. It will take time to get the implementation right and when it does the manufacturers will optimize the solution and the price will also come down. I don't think anyone goes "ABS makes cars so expensive", because the cost has been optimized.
Airbags are STILL not safe, my guy โ they can take your thumbs clean off.
'murican being a 'murican as usual...
First, I don't need a car :D
Second, some reading comprehension would do you good.
SSurely you jeSSt
Didn't find anything quickly, but if you want to donate towards Germany paying back its debts: IBAN DE17 8600 0000 0086 0010 30, put "Schuldentilgung" in the purpose field.
