The leaked draft text suggests that the Commission significantly caved in to US’s excessive demands for unfettered information access.

    This is ridiculous! Don’t make that decision for us without asking first. Far far easier just to avoid travel to the US. The world is huge and there are far better places to visit

    Why tho?

    Travel to that country is getting more painful day by day. You need to give them all social media handles you’ve used in the last 5 years (which I don’t fully remember/forgot) and possibly even more. Other countries with an eVisa system just ask you for your passport number and a fee.

    Fuck it, I’ll go somewhere where I don’t need that BS, like Austria, which I literally have a train ride away (or I can take a walk there).

    Right at the moment when the US has become the most unappealing place to visit as a European…

      In fact, i’ve scratched it off my list of places to see before i die. This is a country where it is illegal to bring a bottle of wine home from the restaurant but ut’s legal to carry a gun in your car.

      I don’t think so.

      Here in Slovakia, the EU is viewed very favourably for a reason. We can work freely in whichever EEA country we want, take a walk to neighboring countries without any border checks or just freight forward a laptop that doesn’t ship here to Wolfsthal and pick it up there. That’s the beauty of it.

      Also our Brussels overlords didn’t outsource age checks to external companies, unlike the rest of the first world.

      Also if the Eurofunds money isn’t misplaced to serve high-ranking politicians only, some amazing things can be achieved with it.

    Well, everything the US gets in their hands will probably be stored forever. EU can’t be serious.

    Is this only a concern if I travel to the US? Or is it enough to just have EDR.
