wth are you talking about? ireland is the bridgehead of fucking facebooks tentacles. the irish data protection officer is a goddamn joke. the whole country has major parts of its gdp only because of their incredibly flexible spine that they use to adjust to the silicon valley doing their EU money and data laundering, besides the UK there's not much more complicit states than the irish when it comes to EU wide mass surveillance. -- otr fp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/otr.txt
